Kidde Fire Suppression System (engineered for use with 3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid)
Designed to protect human life and high value assets from fire, the Fire Suppression System engineered for use with Novec fluid is the next generation in gaseous fire suppression technology, meeting industry concerns for safety, performance and the environment. Find out more on our sister site Cadmus Products. ENVIRONMENT
Novec 1230 fluid offers an environmentally responsible option for fire suppression, having a zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), a global warming potential (GWP) of just one, and an atmospheric lifetime (ALT) of only five days. CLEAN Novec 1230 fluid does not damage sensitive equipment as it discharges as a colourless, electrically non-conductive and non-corrosive gas. This ensures that there is no post-discharge residue, resulting in no costly clean-up operations required and down-time is kept to a minimum. COST-EFFECTIVE Kidde Fire Protection can offer a cost-effective Novec 1230 fire suppression system, by using its tried and trusted range of 25 bar equipment. EFFICIENT It has been proven that fires can be put out quickly, before they can do any serious damage, following small and large-scale tests. Novec 1230 has been proven effective on a wide range of Class A, Class B and electrical fires. Extinguishing concentrations are met in less than ten seconds. SAFETY
The Novec 1230 fluid has been classified as acceptable for use as a total flooding agent in occupied spaces by the US EPA Significant New Alternatives Program
(SNAP). A low design concentration of 4 to 6% in combination with a high No Observable Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of 10% means it provides a design concentration safety margin of up to 100%. This is by far the largest safety margin of any clean agent currently available.
SYSTEM DESIGN
Novec 1230 fluid stored in steel cylinders connected to distribution pipework and specially designed discharge nozzles is what makes up the Kidde Fire Protection system. Novec 1230 fluid is stored as a liquid super-pressurised
to 25 bar with nitrogen. Flexible system design is allowed with efficient transport and vapourisation of the Novec fluid. Compared to other viable gaseous agents, these systems have minimal storage space and weight requirements. |
CYLINDERS Cylinder sizes are available in a wide choice of 5 to 368 litres are available, meeting specific requirements by offering a choice of fill capacities, also ensuring maximum economy in installation. Each cylinder is manufactured from high strength alloy steel and both TPED and DOT are available. APPLICATIONS
