Novec 1230 fm200 top leader review năm 2024

One of the most common types of fire protection systems for office buildings are fire sprinkler systems. While fire sprinkler systems are more than capable of suppressing a fire, the water from the sprinkler system can damage sensitive environments like server rooms, telecommunication sites, data centers, control rooms, museums, power plants, and more. For these environments, businesses turn to fire suppression systems that disperse an inert gas or combination of gasses to suppress the fire without causing damage to electronics or permanently losing data.

For buildings that have little or no occupancy, carbon dioxide systems are often used as the key suppressant. However, carbon dioxide (CO2) fire suppression systems create an inherent health risk for people in the area. That is why you won’t normally find CO2 fire suppression systems installed in normally occupied buildings and enclosures. Instead, you’ll find clean agent fire suppression systems installed to protect sensitive environments. Clean agent fire suppression systems pose a much lower health risk to people when compared to CO2 which can be deadly.

What Are the Most Common Clean Agent Fire Suppression System

When choosing a clean agent fire suppression system, there are three common types:

• FM-200 Clean Agent Fire Suppression System
• 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid Clean Agent Fire Suppression System
• INERGEN Clean Agent Fire Suppression System

The FM-200 Fire Suppression System uses FM-200 fire suppression which is comprised of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Unlike CFCs, HCFCs, and Halons; HFCs like FM-200 have zero ozone depletion (ODP) which means they won’t hurt the environment or people. FM-200 is stored as a liquid and vaporizes upon discharge. While FM-200 does displace the oxygen around a fire, it’s primary extinguishing capabilities is through heat absorption.

The INERGEN Fire Suppression System uses inert gases to reduce the oxygen level around a fire and suppress it. The inert gases in INERGEN include nitrogen, argon, and carbon dioxide. The INGERGEN concentration is safe for people; and once discharged, returns to the atmosphere in its natural state. Just like FM-200, it also won’t deplete the ozone or hurt the environment.

The Novec 1230 Fluid Fire Suppression System uses Novec 1230 fluid which is a liquid that was created by 3M. The liquid is vaporized as it is discharged just like FM-200. Unlike FM-200 which suppresses fires through cooling, Novec 1230 fluid suppresses fires by displacing the oxygen around the fire. Due to Novec 1230 fluid being stored as a liquid rather than a gas, the system requires a smaller footprint than gas systems like INERGEN or CO2.

There are many different factors that go into choosing the “best” clean agent fire suppression system for your exact needs. While all three are more than capable of suppressing a fire, they each have their own unique advantages and needs. While one system may cost less than another, it may require more upgrades to the environment that is being protected. Some systems require smaller footprints while others can be stored farther from the environment being protected. In the end, every situation and every environment is different. A clean agent fire suppression expert from a professional fire protection company should be able to assess your needs, walk you through the different options, and help you choose the “best” system for your needs.

It is fair to say that for smaller hazards that are normally occupied and where cylinders will be stored near people, then we would recommend Novec 1230. However, as the hazard increases, both in volume and number INERGEN should be considered. However the only way to know when to step up to an INERGEN system is to speak with us in KSS Fire Suppression.

Which is better FM

Novec 1230 has a safety margin of between 67%-150% whereas FM200 has a safety margin of just 3%-29%. This makes a decrease in room size without changes in agent quantity much safer for people where we use Novec 1230.

What is the disadvantage of Novec 1230?

Novec 1230 DisadvantagesExpensive to install: Unfortunately, Novec 1230 can be expensive due to it being a premium, high-quality solution (there are some more cost-effective options out there)

Is Novec 1230 being phased out?

This unfortunately means that NOVEC 1230 has a discontinuation timeline of 2025 (and industry experts believe that 3M will run out even sooner than that).

Is FM

You might be curious about what's happening with trusted FM200 (also known at HFC227ea). It's not going away, but some changes are on the horizon. The phase-down of FM200 began in 2022, with a scheduled 85% worldwide reduction by 2037.
