What is Novec fluid?
Novec™ 7100 engineered fluid is a proprietary methoxy-nonafluorobutane from 3M™. This hydrofluoroether is a clear, colorless and low-odor fluid intended to replace ozone-depleting substances (ODSs) and compounds with high global warming potential (GWP) in many applications. It has zero ozone depletion potential.
Is Novec 1230 a liquid?
Novec 1230 fluid is applied as a gas, but is liquid at room temperature. The boiling point of Novec 1230 fluid is 49.2⁰C, meaning this product has a much lower vapor pressure than other clean agents, which are gases at ambient conditions.
How does Novec 1230 fluid work?
Novec 1230 fluid extinguishes a fire before it starts by rapidly removing heat. In a typical total flooding system, the fluid is stored as a liquid in cylinders pressurized with nitrogen. Automatic detection sensors trigger release when the fire is at the incipient stage, extinguishing it in mere seconds.
Is Novec 1230 an F gas?
Novec 1230 fluid (FK-5-1-12) is a fluorinated ketone that is stored as a liquid and discharged as a gas.
What is the difference between FM 200 and Novec 1230?
Environmental Impact According to the National Fire Protection Association, Novec™ 1230 has a GWP of 1 while FM-200™ has a GWP of 3350. This means Novec™ 1230 is the more environmentally-friendly choice.
