Gas Suppression / Flooding System

Novec Gas Flooding System

NOVEC is an innovative solution that reduce the risk of fire damage in critical applications and sensitive equipment. At a proper system design concentration, the extinguishing agent NOVEC Fire Protection Fluid absorbs sufficient heat to upset the balance of the fire. This colling effect is supported by the oxygen reduction in the flame due to the volumetric expansion of the molecules. The high efficiency the NOVEC system allows using a low extinguishing concentration. As a result, the user needs to store only a relatively small amount of the extinguishing agent to safely protected rooms. Additionally, the minimum 10 bar at the nozzle concept used by Siemens ensures fast and full evaporation of the NOVEC fluid, minimizing extinguishing times. Compact system designs are possible as NOVEC works with the NOVEC fluid, offering the lowest design concentration of all currently authorized extinguishing agents. Fewer cylinders and less space are needed for installation and storage because the liquid agent NOVEC fluid is stored in cylinders pressurized with 42-bar nitrogen.

Highlights:
  • Manufactured using high-pressure technology
  • Allows higher design flexibility and enables the realization of larger and more complex piping networks compared to low-pressure systems.
  • Special software comes installed that precisely calculates the ideal layout of the piping networks, so the clients get an optimal solution tailored to their individual needs.
  • Can easily be adapted to existing ones with few alterations.

High-hazard areas require specialized fire protection systems which not only extinguishes the fire, but also protects your facility from collateral and environmental damage as well. Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a clean agent fire extinguishant which was developed as a halon replacement and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) alternative. It belongs to a family of chemicals called halocarbons, a group which includes HFCs and fluorinated ketones. Novec 1230 fluid is a fluoroketone.

Novec 1230 is the new standard for halon replacement. fluid offers a long-term, sustainable technology that has the greatest margin of safety, the lowest GWP for halocarbon alternatives, and zero ozone depletion potential.

It comes with a global environmental warranty — the 3M™ Blue Sky℠ Warranty, is not subject to the Halon 1301 phaseout or HFC phasedown under any global regulatory body, including the Montreal Protocol. Helps protect irreplaceable paper documents and electronics. Because Novec 1230 fluid is a waterless fire suppression solution, it leaves no residue, evaporates 50 times faster than water and is electrically non-conductive.

Co2 Gas Flooding System

CO2 at atmospheric pressure is a colorless, odoueless and electricity Non-Conductive inert gas. It has high expansion ratio, which facilities rapid discharge and allows three dimensional quick penetrations in the entire hazard area. Made from premimum components, this CO2 Gas Flooding System's importance lies in the fact that it has high efficiency to extinguish fire by reducing the oxygen content of the protected area below the point where it can support combustion. This CO2 Gas Flooding System provides a blanket of heavy gas that reduces the oxygen content of the atmosphere to a point where combustion is not sustainable.

Applications

Modern, more efficient equipment makes use of carbon dioxide to displace intra cardiac gases in a safe procedure. The carbon dioxide field-flooding technique is safer, easier, and more efficacious that tradition. Used for machinery spaces, pump room and cargo holds, the CO2 by suppressing the oxygen content in the space. From main distribution valves, a piping system is used to distribute the gas to the discharge nozzels, which are placed uniformaly throughout the protected CO2 extinguishing system is a total flooding system desigend to use the engine rooms, pump rooms and cargo holds. It extinguishes fires using CO2 by suppressing the oxygen content in the space.

Features & Benefits
  • Fast fire extinguishing system.
  • Effective on deep-seated fires in engine rooms and cargo holds.
  • Safety release delay designed for security.
  • CO2 gas is cost effective.

CO2 Gas: -

Out of all the Gases, the most widely used Gas Based Fire Suppression today in the world is CO2 Gas Based Suppression System. CO2 is most likely the gaseous extinguishing agent that has the greatest number of installations worldwide. Carbon Dioxide fire protection systems use intelligent, reliable and fast-acting control panels to quickly sense a fire before it can cause damage to property. Carbon dioxide gas has a high rate of expansion, which allows a CO2 fire protection system to react quickly.

CO2 is an odourless, colourless, electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive, and non-deteriorating agent. It is normally present in the atmosphere at about 0.03% by volume. It is a natural component of ambient air and is therefore readily available. It extinguishes fire primarily by lowering the level of oxygen that supports combustion in a protected area. This mechanism of fire suppression makes CO2 suppression systems highly effective, requiring minimal clean-up, but should be used in normally unoccupied hazard locations or otherwise avoided by personnel when discharged.

Benefits of CO2: -
  • Extinguishes the fires fast and effectively – before any damage is done to your valued assets.
  • No post-fire residues to clean up.
  • No damage to protected equipment.
  • Is electrically non-conductive.
  • Is effectively extinguishes fire of flammable and combustible materials.
  • Low cost and easily available for refilling.
