Enclosed Flooding NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent Environmentally Friendly Fire Suppression

NOVEC 1230 (FK-5-1-12) Clean Agent, as a new generation of environmentally friendly clean gas fire extinguishing agent, takes perfluorohexanone as the core component and has the dual characteristics of efficient fire extinguishing and environmental friendliness. Based on the principle of chemical inhibition, it can rapidly interrupt the combustion chain reaction at a low concentration and achieve efficient fire control within 10 seconds. It also has excellent insulation performance (insulation resistance > 10¹²Ω), which can safely extinguish fires when the cabin equipment is running with power on, avoiding the paralysis of the power system caused by power failure. Furthermore, the NOVEC 1230Clean Agent vaporizes rapidly after discharge, leaving no solid or liquid residues. It will not corrode precision machinery or contaminate the fuel system. Moreover, its ozone depletion potential (ODP) is 0 and its global warming potential (GWP) is only 1, fully meeting the environmental protection requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Provide sustainable solutions for ship fire safety.
In the high-risk operating environment of the ship engine room, the NOVEC 1230 () Clean Agent shows significant advantages. The cabin is densely filled with diesel engines, distribution boards, fuel pipelines and other equipment. High temperatures, oil stains and electrical faults can easily cause fires. Although traditional water-based or dry powder fire extinguishing agents can put out fires, water stains can cause rust on metal parts, and the residue of dry powder may clog the oil circuits of the equipment, increasing the difficulty of post-disaster repair. The NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent, through the total flood fire extinguishing system, is coordinated with the temperature sensors, smoke detectors and combustible gas detectors in the cabin. When anomalies such as fuel leakage and circuit short circuits are detected, the system can automatically activate within 5 seconds. The agent quickly covers the entire cabin space and extinguishes open flames rapidly. Prevent the fire from spreading to the oil storage tank or the control center. A measured case of a certain ocean-going cargo ship shows that in the simulated scenario of a fire caused by fuel leakage from a diesel generator, the NOVEC 1230 (FK-5-1-12) system successfully controlled the fire within 8 seconds. There was no residue on the surface of the equipment, and the crew only needed to ventilators and exchange air to resume operations, saving more than 70% of the recovery time compared with traditional fire extinguishing methods.

Product advantages:

In the fire extinguishing system of ship engine rooms, compared with other fire extinguishing agents, NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent has the following comparative advantages:
High fire extinguishing efficiency: Through chemical inhibition, the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent can rapidly interrupt the combustion chain reaction at a low concentration and usually effectively control the fire within 10 seconds. In contrast, water-based fire extinguishing agents require a certain amount of time to cool and suffocate the flames. Although dry powder fire extinguishing agents can also quickly put out fires, they may not be able to completely suppress reignition in a short period of time.
Minimal damage to equipment: There are a large number of precision devices and electrical systems in the engine room of a ship. The NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent vaporizes rapidly after being discharged, leaving no solid or liquid residue and will not cause damage such as corrosion, pollution or blockage to the equipment. Water-based fire extinguishing agents can cause equipment to become damp and rusty, affecting its performance and lifespan. The residue of dry powder fire extinguishing agent is difficult to clean and may enter the interior of the equipment, interfering with its normal operation.
Good insulation performance: NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent has excellent insulation performance, with insulation resistance > 10¹²Ω. It can be safely used when the equipment is running under power and will not cause secondary accidents such as electrical short circuits due to the conductivity of the fire extinguishing agent. This is an advantage that water-based fire extinguishing agents and some dry powder fire extinguishing agents do not have, because water and some dry powder may conduct electricity, posing a safety hazard when extinguishing electrical fires.
Superior environmental protection performance: The ozone depletion potential (ODP) of NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent is 0, and the global warming potential (GWP) is only 1. It is environmentally friendly and meets the environmental protection requirements of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Some traditional fire extinguishing agents, such as Halon fire extinguishing agents, have been gradually phased out due to their destructive effect on the ozone layer. Although the ODP of carbon dioxide fire extinguishing agent is 0, its GWP is relatively high. Its extensive use may have an impact on the global climate.
For personnel safety: NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent clean fire extinguishing agent is basically harmless to the human body at the normal usage concentration and does not produce toxic and harmful gases. In the relatively enclosed space like the engine room of a ship, the use of NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent can reduce the risk of injury to personnel. Dry powder fire extinguishing agents may produce dust when sprayed, which can affect people's breathing. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishing agents can cause suffocation at high concentrations.
