ANSUL SAPPHIRE Novec 1230 – Fire Gas Suppression

The ANSUL SAPPHIRE Novec-1230 Fire Gas Suppression uses 3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid for total flooding applications. The clear, colourless agent has zero ozone depletion potential, an atmospheric lifetime of just five days, and a global warming potential of 1.0. The SAPPHIRE system forcefully subdues fires before they can gain full momentum. Following suppression, Novec 1230 rapidly evaporates, leaving valuable assets unharmed.

Clean Agent System

The fluid can be used in total flooding fire suppression applications such as:

• Data Centres
• Tape storage vaults
• Occupied or unoccupied electronic areas with very sensitive or irreplaceable equipment
• Telecommunications, including cellular sites and switching centres
• Military systems, including combat vehicles and marine engine rooms
• Transportation, including merchant marine vessels and mass transit vehicles
• Recreation including pleasure craft and race cars

Sapphire Gas Suppression systems excel at quelling fires in spaces hosting electronic equipment. They prove indispensable in emergencies where shutting down operations is not an option, especially in environments that necessitate a non-toxic firefighting agent. Accordingly, Novec 1230 is environmentally friendly and not harmful to humans.

SAPPHIRE Novec 1230 State-of-the-Art Detection and Control

Even before a fire reaches the flame stage, SAPPHIRE systems can detect and suppress it. This state-of-the-art detection and control system combines exclusive AUTOPULSE microprocessor control panels with highly sensitive smoke, heat and flame detectors. Upon fire detection, AUTOPULSE control panels spring into action, activating alarms, sealing doors, halting equipment, and initiating the release of the fire suppression system. The system provides automatic detection, day and night, in conjunction with manual pull stations.
