Novec Fire Suppression System
Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid
The search for halon 1301 replacements has been on-going for over 10 years and each alternative brings with it a unique set of properties. We have brought to the market products that match the requirements of industry and our latest research allows us to introduce fire protection systems using Novec 1230 fluid , a new development with some advantages over current technologies. Novec 1230 fluid allows us to complement our existing range of agents as the phase out of halons accelerates in many countries around the world.
Novec 1230 fluid is known as a fluorinated ketone and is manufactured by 3M.
Novec1230 fluid has low toxicity and has a boiling point of 49 degrees C and therefore exists as a liquid at room temperature.
Like halon 1301 it is super-pressurised with nitrogen to 25 bar.
Like most other chemical agents, it rapidly extinguishes through a combination of heat absorption (its main action) and some chemical interference with the flame.
Environmental Features
Novec1230 fluid contains neither bromine nor chlorine and has zero 0zone depleting potential.
The atmospheric lifetime of Novec 1230 fluid is estimated to be in the range of 3-5 days and with a global warming potential of 1, it is considered that the Novec 1230 fluid has no measurable impact on climate change.
These attributes ensure that Novec 1230 fluid represents a truly sustainable technology.
Safety
Acute toxicity testing has shown that Novec 1230 fluid is safe at end use concentrations. The effective toxicity exposure limit is greater than 10% for both the acute inhalation exposure and cardiac sensitisation No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) and set against low design concentrations, it offers margins of safety (up to 100%).
Applications
Despite having a low boiling point, Novec 1230 fluid is able to be effectively vapourised over a wide range of hazard temperatures.
It is therefore available to protect most hazards traditionally protected with halon 1301 and will be particularly important in Marine applications and others where high margins of safety and long term sustainability are considered to be important features.
Handling
One of the advantages offered by Novec 1230 fluid’s high boiling point is that it presents very low vapour pressures, enabling it to be transported in lightweight totes or drums as opposed to steel pressurised containers. This allows Novec 1230 fluid to be readily air freighted and as both initial filling and recharging operations are possible by simply pouring the fluid into containers, prior to super-pressurising, the filling operation is far simpler than with traditional high pressure gases.
Features:
Zero ozone depleting potential
Negligible global warming potential
Atmospheric lifetime of less than 5 days
Safe for use in occupied areas
Existing halon control system can be adapted for use with Novec 1230 fluid
Requires minimal storage space
Provisional S.N.A.P. listing by US E.P.A.
UL/FM testing underway
Submitted for inclusion in ISO and CEN design standards
Replacing Halon with Novec 1230 fluid
Novec 1230 fluid is available to protect most hazards traditionally protected with halon 1301. The physical properties of each halon alternative determine how much agent is required to provide an equivalent level of protection.
Novec 1230 fluid will require approximately twice as much agent by weight as the equivalent halon system, although end use design concentrations will be similar, resulting in minimal increases in storage space for the containers.
It is likely that any existing pipework would need to be replaced or at least supplemented, although the exact requirement for any particular system can only be determined after a detailed review of the existing installation.
Room Integrity Testing
Room Integrity Testing has become an important feature of the commissioning of gaseous fire fighting systems. The integrity test is performed to check that enclosures can maintain a sufficient extinguishing agent concentration for the required time following discharge.
This time may vary according to the hazard and the available response time for the emergency services although 10 minutes is often considered to be an acceptable period.
Room integrity testing is now a requirement of ISO 14520 and NFPA 2001 at the commissioning stage and may form part of an on-going maintenance schedules.
Novec 1230 Fire Suppression System
When fire breaks out in server rooms, data centres, museums and other sensitive environments, sometimes the solution can be as damaging as the fire.
Gielle’s Novec 1230 fire suppression system uses an inert carbon-based chemical that powerfully fights fire yet is safe for property, people, and to the environment. It looks like water but doesn’t cause the damage normally associated with water because it contains no moisture. The result is lower repair bills and less impact on business.
Novec 1230 has no harmful impact on the environment. It has an atmospheric lifetime of only five days while the closest chemical alternative has an atmospheric life time of 33–36 years.
Federal Government regulations for Ozone Depleting Substances and Synthetic Greenhouse Gases (ODS and SGG), places usage restrictions on chemicals that are defined as controlled substances due to their potential to harm the atmospheric environment. As an environmentally safe inert carbon-based chemical, Novec 1230 is exempt from this legislation.
Protect your sensitive business data and equipment with Novec 1230.

The Gielle Systems are automatic suppression systems using 3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid and consisting of four basic components and their associated
accessories.
System Components
Completer Kits
Detection and Alarm Devices
Control Panels
Features
The system components consist of agent containers, container supports
(racks), and discharge nozzles.
The completer kits consist of warning signs, hoses, connection
fittings, pressure gauges or solenoid valves, and the actuator required to operate the cylinder valve.
The detection, alarm devices and accessories provide fire detection, audible and visual pre-alarm warnings and annunciation of the Novec 1230 fluid
discharge.
The control panel monitors the detection, actuates the
alarms, initiates the agent discharge and controls auxiliary functions such as shut down of vital equipment and ventilation
dampers.
The system and its components are agency tested for total flooding applications and should be used in accordance with the guidelines contained in National Fire Protection Association 2001. A total flooding application can be defined as injecting Novec 1230 fluid into an enclosure or volume having the structural integrity to retain the agent during and after
discharge. The design of such a system requires that the Novec 1230 fluid be discharged from its container in between a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 seconds and be thoroughly mixed throughout the protected volume, reaching a minimum concentration level of 4.2%, but not exceeding 10% in normally occupied
spaces.
3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a highly efficient fire extinguishant designed especially for
"special hazards." These are defined as spaces — such as telecommunication switch
rooms, computer and electronic control rooms — where maintaining continuous operation of high-value equipment is
critical. |

| NOVEC PRODUCT INFORMATION |
| |
 |
| |
|
Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid
|
| |
Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is based on a proprietary chemistry from 3M called C6-fluoroketone; it is also known as dodecafluoro 2-methylpentane-3-one; its ASHRAE nomenclature is FK 5-1-12 — the way it is designated in NFPA 2001 and ISO 14670 clean agent
standards.
3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a high molecular weight material, compared with the first generation halocarbon clean
agents. The product has a heat of vaporization of 88.1 kJ/kga and low vapor
pressure. Although it is a liquid at room temperature it gasifies immediately after being discharged in a total flooding system.
Handling
There's a distinct advantage in handling a liquid agent-one that
isn't pressurized and doesn't have a high vapor pressure at room temperature. 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid has a boiling point of 49°C (121° F). It can be shipped safely and
effectively, without any restrictions, by air at a moment's notice in bulk
quantities. In the shop, Novec 1230 fluid is easier to use than pressurized gas. Simply transfer the fluid from the container to the system
cylinder, using a simplified closed loop process to avoid
contamination. Then, superpressurize the cylinder with
nitrogen.
The product is ideal for use in total flooding applications, localized flooding
systems, directional spray type applications and may be used in portable extinguishers for specialized
applications. But in addition to the conventional methods of super-pressurization using
nitrogen, 3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid also lends itself for use in pump applications because it is a
liquid.
Materials Compatibility
3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid has been shown to be compatible with typical materials of construction used in fire suppression
systems. The material is stable and essentially inert, meaning it does not react with system
components. It's also non-corrosive in its neat form. Long-term testing has demonstrated excellent compatibility with various elastomers used in
o-rings, gaskets and other types of seals. However, we recommend that the product not be used with
fluoroelastomers, because they are similar in composition to Novec 1230 fluid and have an affinity for each
other, making them incompatible.
Tests have also shown that Novec 1230 fluid does not react with typical metals used in fire protection
systems, including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass and
copper. |

Environmental
|

3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is an advanced halon replacement alternative with an excellent environmental
profile:
Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1 - lowest GWP for any halocarbon alternative to halon
Non Ozone-depleting
Atmospheric lifetime of just 5-days - compared to years, decades and even centuries for other halocarbon alternatives
Offers a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions over hydrofluorocarbons
(HFCs)
A new standard for sustainable clean agent fire protection technology
All organic compounds that are emitted into the atmosphere have the ability to act as a greenhouse gas. Their effect in the atmosphere or potency as a greenhouse gas is determined by the amount of infrared (IR) radiation they absorb and how long they reside in the atmosphere
(their atmospheric lifetime). These factors are combined in a calculation and expressed in a single parameter known as the Global Warming Potential
(GWP). When released to the atmosphere, 3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid absorbs infrared (IR) energy similarly to other fluorinated
compounds.
Atmospheric Lifetime = 5 days
What sets 3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid apart from these other fluorochemicals is its very short atmospheric
lifetime. Most fluorochemicals reside in the atmosphere for years - often on the order of decades or
centuries. In contrast, Novec 1230 fluid degrades very rapidly in the lower atmosphere by reaction with sunlight (a process known as
photolysis). This leads to a very short atmospheric life for Novec 1230 fluid of just 5
days.
GWP = 1
The very short atmospheric lifetime of 3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid leads to a very low Global Warming Potential
(GWP). The GWP essentially determines how many kilograms of CO2 - the world's most common greenhouse gas - would be equivalent to the release of one kilogram of this
compound. The GWP for Novec 1230 fluid is 1. This means that is essentially the same as releasing the same amount of CO2. |

Choosing a long-term solution
In recent years, concerns about environmental issues - especially those relating to climate change - have led to increasing regulatory scrutiny of compounds with high global warming
potentials. These so-called "greenhouse gases" include several conventional halon
replacements, such as HFCs.
Under the Kyoto Protocol and other international agreements, more and more industrialized nations have committed to reducing the amount of greenhouse gases emitted to the atmosphere. Although the use of HFCs in fire protection is allowed
today, there is growing concern about their future viability, as regulators look for industries and applications
(such as fire protection) where alternatives exist to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions, without harming economic growth.
For example, abatement of HFCs of materials in fire protection applications is one strategy that companies can employ to reduce their overall emissions of materials in the "basket" of six greenhouse gases identified by the Kyoto
Protocol. In addition, many forward-thinking companies are beginning to consider the potential costs of monitoring and reporting their use of greenhouse
gases; and the cost and disruption to replace an HFC-based system in the near future, should new restrictions on
HFCs, now being debated in the EU and other parts of the world, come into
force. Ultimately, a growing number of end-users are concluding that long-term economics – as well as good stewardship – favor the use of sustainable
technologies, such as 3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection
Fluid. |

Today's widest margin of safety
Because its use concentration is much lower than its No Observable Adverse Effects level
(NOAEL), 3Mâ„¢ Novecâ„¢ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid offers the widest margin of safety of any viable halon replacement available on the market
today. Note: Industry standards require egress from a protected enclosure prior to system
discharge.
1 Halocarbon values based on heptane extinguishing concentration - ISO 14670:2006, CO2 value - NFPA 12:2005
2 NOAEL for cardiac sensitization (halocarbons) and effects specific to CO2
Novec 1230 fluid is very low in toxicity. The product has shown a very low potential for irritation to the
eyes, skin, and mucous membranes. The acute and repeat dose toxicity of Novec 1230 fluid are also very low. For more safety information please visit our product documentation center on this website. |
