High Safety Airport Grade NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent With Zero Residue

NOVEC 1230 is an advanced clean gas fire extinguishing agent. Its main component is perfluorohexanone (FK-5-1-12), which has the advantages of efficient fire extinguishing, non-toxicity, non-conductivity, no residue and minimal impact on the environment. The NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent rapidly vaporizes after release, which can effectively reduce the temperature at the fire scene and interrupt the combustion reaction chain to achieve rapid fire extinguishing. At the same time, it will not cause any damage to personnel safety or precision equipment. In a place like the airport, where there is a dense flow of people, concentrated power equipment and extremely high requirements for fire safety, traditional water sprinkler or dry powder systems are prone to cause secondary pollution and equipment damage. However, NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent, with its cleanliness and high efficiency, has become the ideal choice for modern airport fire protection systems.

In the airport environment, fire hazards are widely distributed from the terminal building to the control tower, from the data center to the luggage sorting area, and are difficult to extinguish. Once a fire breaks out, it may not only cause significant property losses, but also lead to flight delays, passenger panic and even endanger life safety. Therefore, the requirements for fire protection systems at airports are much higher than those of ordinary buildings. The NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent fire extinguishing system is precisely designed to meet aviation-grade fire protection standards. It can maintain high safety and response speed while avoiding negative impacts on electronic equipment, building materials and personnel health. This system has been widely applied in the automatic fire extinguishing devices of many large international airports around the world and is one of the important development directions of current green fire protection technology.

Compared with traditional fire extinguishing agents, NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent also has excellent environmental sustainability. It has no destructive effect on the ozone layer, with a global warming potential (GWP) of only 1 and an extremely short atmospheric lifespan, meeting the relevant requirements of international environmental protection agreements such as the Kigali Amendment. Furthermore, the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent is stably stored at room temperature and is applicable to a wide operating temperature range (0-50℃). It is particularly suitable for usage scenarios such as airports where the temperature difference between day and night is large, ventilation is complex, and management requirements are strict. Combined with the intelligent detection system, the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent can achieve early detection and precise release of fires, significantly enhancing the overall fire prevention and control capabilities of the airport.

 
 
Application:
 
Protection of the core area of the terminal building
As a place with a high concentration of people and equipment, the airport terminal building has extremely high requirements for the safety and efficiency of the fire protection system. The NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent provides deep protection for key areas such as check-in counters, baggage handling systems, and security inspection equipment through the total flooding fire extinguishing system. The system is closely linked with the automatic fire alarm system of the terminal building. When the temperature and smoke detectors detect a fire, the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent can quickly fill the protected area within 5 seconds, interrupt the combustion chain reaction based on the principle of chemical suppression, and extinguish the initial fire within 10 seconds without generating any harmful gases. The measured data of a certain international airport shows that in the simulated scenario of short circuit and fire of security inspection equipment, the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent system successfully protected X-ray security inspection machines worth millions of yuan and avoided flight delays caused by equipment damage.

2. Avionics equipment and control tower support
The airport control tower, navigation station and communication center carry the core function of air traffic command. The precision electronic equipment inside them does not allow any residual fire extinguishing. The residue-free feature of NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent plays a key role here. Through the local application of fire extinguishing devices, it precisely covers equipment such as radar systems and communication base stations. When the temperature inside the equipment cabin abnormally rises or smoke is detected, the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent is immediately activated to rapidly cool down and extinguish the fire, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the flight command system.

3. Aircraft maintenance and apron area protection
In areas such as aircraft maintenance hangars and charging facilities on the apron, there are multiple fire risks including fuel leakage and electrical faults. The high security and powerful fire-extinguishing ability of NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent make it an ideal choice. For the aircraft engine test area and avionics equipment maintenance area in the hangar, a fixed fire extinguishing system is adopted, combined with infrared flame detectors. It can release the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent at the moment of fire occurrence to quickly extinguish fuel fires and prevent the fire from spreading to the fuselage. Near the charging piles on the apron and ground power equipment, mobile fire extinguishing devices are deployed. Staff can trigger them manually to respond quickly to sudden fire situations, ensuring the safety and order of ground support operations at the airport.

4. Protection of airport data centers and IT computer rooms
The airport data center stores key contents such as flight information and passenger data. The zero-pollution feature of NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent provides excellent protection for it. A modular fire extinguishing system is adopted, with independent nozzles installed above each cabinet, which are linked with the precision air conditioning and power and environmental monitoring system in the computer room. When the server overheating or line short circuit is detected, the NOVEC 1230 Clean Agent is automatically discharged. While protecting the data storage equipment, it avoids hardware damage caused by traditional fire extinguishing methods and ensures the 24-hour uninterrupted operation of the airport information system.
