Description:
Novec1230 fluid offers a unique combination of safety, low environmental impact and extinguishing performance, making it the only chemical halon replacement to offer a viable, long-term, environmentally sustainable technology for special hazards fire protection.
Novec 1230, FK-5-1-12, C6F12O is a fluorinated ketone with the systematic name 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone and the structural formula CF3CF2C(=O)CF(CF3)2, a fully fluorinated analog of ethyl isopropyl ketone. It is used
as gaseous fire suppression agent where it could damage expensive equipment or property, such as museums, server rooms, banks, clean rooms and hospitals. Novec 1230 can be used in both total/partial/localized flooding systems, and directional spray type applications; it is also used in portable extinguishers for specialized applications. It has been used as a full-immersion fluid in a proof of concept data center cooling system.
Novec 1230 fluid does not deplete ozone (ODP 0) and has a global warming potential of 1 over 80 years, equivalent to that of carbon dioxide. The Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) classifies this chemical as H412 - Harmful to aquatic life with long lasting effects. However, photolysis and hydration may be a significant sink of Novec 1230 in the environment.
Function and Application:
Novec1230 is a clean gas agent which can be completely vaporized without residue in the atmosphere and is good at electric insulation of gas phase. And it is suitable for extinguishing electric fire by way of total flooding or fusible solid, liquid, solid surface firefighting. It can be applied to the computer room, communication room, transformer room, precise instrument room, generator room, oil depot, chemical inflammable material warehouse and online library, library, archives, Treasury and other places. Novec fire extinguishing system with reasonable structure and reliable operation, has been widely used in computer rooms, archives, program-controlled exchange room, TV broadcasting center and financial institutions, government agencies, and other important places.
