Gielle is proud to provide systems utilizing Novec 1230 fluid as a fire suppression agent, an ideal alternative for Halon that offers enhanced property protection from water damage.
Novec 1230 is kept in steel cylinders that have been pressurised with nitrogen gas, making it possible to transport lightweight totes and drums with reduced shipping costs and recharge times. Novec-1230 in drums is designed to offer a streamlined and cost-effective fire suppression solution for any establishment.
1. Environmentally Friendly
Novec 1230 fluid is an eco-friendly clean agent designed to safeguard equipment such as computers and data processing centers from fire. Similar to water in that it removes heat, but unlike it it won’t damage sensitive electronics during a fire event. Novec 1230’s unique formula can ensure people and environment stay safe during an outbreak.
Novec fluid is stored as a liquid stored in cylinders pressurized with nitrogen, ready for release when fire is detected. Within 6-10 seconds after its release it will have extinguished the fire by cooling equipment while also absorbing heat without reducing oxygen availability.
Gielle Marine systems with Novec fluid are ideal for environments housing machinery or electronic devices, since Novec fluid is nonconductive, leaving no trace of post-fire cleanup and repair work behind.
2. Easier to Transport
Novec 1230’s non-conductive liquid fire suppression fluid does not require as complex of an infrastructure as pressurized gases do, meaning system cylinders can be stored at ground level and transported more easily compared with steel pressurized containers of other Halon alternative agents.
Novec 1230’s carbon-based formula makes it safer for both people and equipment than other clean agents, making it an excellent choice for computer rooms, electrical control rooms and areas containing high value assets that must remain operational during a fire.
Novec 1230 fire suppression systems are engineered to respond rapidly upon detection, quickly discharging their flood of agent within seconds and effectively extinguishing fires before they spread. Gielle Marine offers systems using Novec 1230 fluid which are designed to meet marine regulatory requirements for occupied spaces, featuring smoke/heat detectors, control units, agent storage cylinders with nitrogen superpressurization for transport/storage safety purposes and discharge nozzles – everything needed to keep a fire at bay before its spread!
Fire station software is a cornerstone of modern fire department operations, revolutionizing how fire stations manage their daily tasks and emergencies. This specialized software is a comprehensive platform encompassing various critical functions, from dispatch management and resource allocation to training records and equipment maintenance tracking. By centralizing these operations into a unified digital system, fire station software enhances coordination, reduces response times, and improves overall efficiency. Moreover, it aids in real-time communication between fire personnel, ensuring a rapid and organized response to emergencies. With features tailored to the fire department’s unique needs, this software elevates operational performance and assists in strategic planning, resource optimization, and data-driven decision-making. Fire station software exemplifies the integration of technology to empower fire departments in safeguarding lives and property while maintaining a well-organized and effective response mechanism
3. Easier to Store
NovecTM 1230 is stored as a liquid in steel super-pressurised cylinders, making it easy to ship via air transport and store. Pumped by fire detection systems into systems throughout a room within seconds of an alarm being raised, its discharge removes heat quickly from any room where a fire might have broken out removing heat before any flames have spread further into it.
Novec 1230 differs from other halon alternatives in that it won’t damage or harm electronics (we tested an iPhone and it is waterproof) and can easily be cleaned up after. Plus, using it may lead to additional discounts on property insurance policies!
Gielle Marine systems can be easily installed into existing pipework on ships and approved for use by marine regulatory bodies, making the systems suitable for installation in machinery spaces or flammable liquid storage areas. With sophisticated flow calculations ensuring consistent agent distribution with discharge times of less than ten seconds.
4. Faster to Discharge
Gielle’s Novec 1230 fire suppression systems utilize an inert carbon-based chemical that efficiently extinguishes fire without posing risks to people, equipment, or the environment. Although it resembles water, this aqueous solution does not contain moisture to cause any lasting damage as water does.
Electrically non-conductive and 2.3 times less conductive than water, 3M’s Blue Sky material is non-corrosive and leaves no residue behind after discharge. Environmentally sustainable with an extremely low global warming potential and ozone depletion potential backed by 3M’s 20 year Blue Sky warranty, its attributes make it the ideal material for sustainable practices.
Novec 1230 fluid can be safely and quickly used as it exists as a liquid at room temperature, meaning it can be stored more safely in lightweight drums or totes than steel pressurized cylinders – this reduces shipping costs, allows easy recharging at a centrally located station and saves shipping costs as a result. Plus it’s much safer and faster to use than carbon dioxide which requires much larger storage tanks to contain it effectively before entering any room – leaving people trapped for several minutes at once!
In conclusion, Novec 1230 fluid stored in drums is an ideal solution to safeguard property, people, and environment from fire. With its environmentally friendly approach, easy storage, transportation, and discharge, it offers numerous benefits for any establishment. Control Fire System Ltd is proud to provide systems utilizing Novec 1230 fluid as a fire suppression agent that offer an optimal protection to any space.
