Physical Properties of NovecTM
1230 Fluid
Agent disperses as a gas
No residue
High density
Water Insoluble

Removing one of the required components for fire
or disrupting the balance between them can cause a
fire to extinguish
Novec 1230 extinguishes a fire by removing the heat via a cooling effect

Generally a system using chemical clean agents knocks down
fires in less than half the time of inert gases. Fast extinguishing
keeps fires small, giving them less chance to spread.

vs. traditional 360 psi (25 bar) systems
Enhanced Design Capability: SEVO™ 1230 FORCE500™
o Less Clean Agent
o Smaller Cylinder Size/Lower Quantity of Cylinders
o Increased Single Nozzle Coverage
o Pipe networks - More efficient, greater flexibility• Longer pipe lengths and larger pipe network• Remote cylinder location• Smaller pipe diameters
o Retrofit Capabilities for Halon 1301 and FM-200
Enhanced Design Capability: SEVO™ 1230 FORCE500™
o Lower cost of installation
– Smaller piping
– Less clean agent required
– Smaller and/or fewer cylinders
o Expanded limitations of pipe networks
– Remote cylinder location
o Retrofitting capability for both Halon 1301 and HFC-227ea installations.

o Higher vaporization rateo Agent dispersed out of nozzle as a vaporo 3 Point Mixing Nozzle: FORCE500 design is beneficial in the mixing of Novec 1230 fluid
o How is this possible?• Higher saturation & absorption of N2 into Novec 1230 fluid• 40 – 60% over traditional 360 psi system• Nozzle mixing (orifice plate design)
o Conclusion• Minimizes byproducts produced during extinguishment• Decreases damage & loss to equipment due to product combustion and extinguishing decomposition
