Fire protection system with 3M Novec 1230

3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a new generation fire protection agent, and
has the following advantages and benefits:
The working concentration of Novec™ 1230 corresponds to only one third of its maximum safe concentration (4.2 % compared to 10%). It has almost no effect on the oxygen content in the room, and so Novec™ 1230 does not harm vision and respiratory organs. Novec™ 1230 is often called "dry water" by the mass media.
Novec™ 1230 does not contain bromine or chlorine. Molecules of Novec™ 1230 decompose by solar radiation in 5 days. Hence, it does not affect the climatic changes of the Earth.
Novec 1230 Fire Protection systems require a low level of storage space.
Novec™ 1230 is transported without any difficulties as a liquid: without pressure, without the need to label it as a dangerous material. Filling of the balloon gas cylinders is possible directly at the place of operation of the protection systems. Novec 1230 is kept in the balloon gas cylinders under pressure at 25 bars. As it has minor vapour pressure, there is no need for ventilation spouts which are used for safety reasons in systems with high pressure.
Although 3M Novec™ 1230 is associated with water in appearance, it absorbs heat better than water due to its weak molecular binding. For example, a Class A fire (burning of solids) is suppressed with 3M Novec 1230 within 10 seconds. The systems is also intended for Class B, C, D and E fires.
The gases are non-conductive, so installation of the 3M Novec™ 1230 fire protection can suppress fire of the electrical equipment without damage.
3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection systems are certified to be used in Russia. UGPT using Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid corresponds to the standards of fire protection in Russia. 3M Novec 1230 has sanitation and epidemiological approval.
Harmlessness for people
The working concentration of Novec™ 1230 corresponds to only one third of its maximum safe concentration (4.2 % compared to 10%). It has almost no effect on the oxygen content in the room, and so Novec™ 1230 does not harm vision and respiratory organs. Novec™ 1230 is often called "dry water" by the mass media.
Safety for the environment
Novec™ 1230 does not contain bromine or chlorine. Molecules of Novec™ 1230 decompose by solar radiation in 5 days. Hence, it does not affect the climatic changes of the Earth.
Compactness of the fire protection system
Novec 1230 Fire Protection systems require a low level of storage space.
Convenience of operation of the fire protection system
Novec™ 1230 is transported without any difficulties as a liquid: without pressure, without the need to label it as a dangerous material. Filling of the balloon gas cylinders is possible directly at the place of operation of the protection systems. Novec 1230 is kept in the balloon gas cylinders under pressure at 25 bars.

Effectiveness during fire suppression.
Although 3M Novec™ 1230 is associated with water in appearance, it absorbs heat better than water due to its weak molecular binding. For example, a Class A fire (burning of solids) is suppressed with 3M Novec 1230 within 10 seconds. The systems is also intended for Class B, C, D and E fires.
Safety for electronics.
The gases are non-conductive, so installation of the 3M Novec™ 1230 fire protection can suppress fire of the electrical equipment without damage.
