NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System For Libraries

NOVEC 1230 (FK-5-1-12) is a high-performance clean gas fire extinguishing agent and is widely used in places with extremely high requirements for environmental cleanliness and personnel safety. Its main component is perfluorohexanone (FK-5-1-12), which has significant advantages such as being non-toxic, non-conductive, leaving no residue, and having no corrosive effect on materials. The NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent rapidly vaporizes when released, can evenly cover the fire source area, achieve rapid fire extinguishing without affecting paper books, electronic archives and precision equipment, and effectively suppress the re-ignition of the fire. This system has been widely recognized as an ideal alternative to traditional halon and carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems due to its outstanding safety and environmental protection performance. It is particularly suitable for highly sensitive environments like libraries, where the protection of personnel, architectural structures and historical documents needs to be carried out simultaneously.
In cultural and educational venues like libraries, fires may not only cause a large number of books to be damaged, but also endanger the lives and safety of readers as well as the infrastructure of the library buildings. Although traditional water sprinkler or dry powder fire extinguishing systems have certain fire-fighting capabilities, they often cause serious secondary pollution and even damage precious books and electronic materials. Therefore, a fire protection plan that can respond quickly and minimize damage must be adopted. NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent is precisely an efficient solution specially designed for this purpose. It can remain highly clean during the fire-fighting process and resume normal operation without complex cleaning after use, greatly reducing the indirect losses caused by fires. Furthermore, the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent is safe and harmless to the human body and complies with multiple international fire safety standards such as ISO 14520 and NFPA 2001, ensuring the safe evacuation of personnel and the stable operation of the system in the library.
From a technical perspective, the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent not only has excellent fire extinguishing efficiency, but also demonstrates outstanding sustainable development characteristics. Unlike the halogenated alkane fire extinguishing agents used in the early days, NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent has no destructive effect on the ozone layer, and its global warming potential (GWP) is only 1. It has a short atmospheric lifetime and a minimal environmental burden. This makes it an important component of the current green fire protection system, especially suitable for places with high environmental protection standards such as university libraries, provincial public libraries, and ancient book restoration centers. In addition, this system can also be integrated into the intelligent building management system, supporting remote monitoring, automatic alarm and interlocking control functions, further enhancing the overall fire safety management level of the library.
 
 
Application:
 
In the library, the NOVEC 1230 gas fire extinguishing system is an ideal fire protection solution. The library is rich in books, with a large number of paper documents and electronic devices, and the requirements for the fire extinguishing system are extremely strict. The NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent is capable of responding promptly when a fire occurs, releasing the fire extinguishing agent through the pipe network and nozzles to quickly fill the protected area. It rapidly lowers the flame temperature by absorbing heat and suppresses the combustion chain reaction, thereby effectively controlling and extinguishing fires. The system is designed to seamlessly integrate with the library's existing fire detection and alarm systems, providing reliable and automatic fire protection. Its low toxicity and high safety ensure that after the release of the fire extinguishing agent, personnel can enter the library for inspection and recovery work in a short time without worrying about health risks. In addition, due to its characteristic of leaving no residue after fire extinguishing, libraries do not need to carry out complicated cleaning and repair work after a fire and can quickly resume normal operations. The transportation and filling of the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent are also extremely simple. It is liquid at room temperature and does not require the safety limitations of gaseous fire extinguishing agents during transportation. It is easy to operate when filling the agent and there is no risk of high-pressure leakage.
