In areas such as ship bridges, control rooms, server rooms, and electrical panel rooms, it is very important not to damage sensitive equipment while extinguishing fires. Even if water or powder-based systems extinguish the fire, they can leave irreversible damage to electronic devices. This is where Clean Agent Suppression Systems come into play.
What are Novec 1230 and FM-200?
These systems use gases that chemically absorb heat in the environment and extinguish fires within seconds.
Novec 1230: Has zero ozone depletion potential and an atmospheric lifetime of only 5 days. It is the most advanced solution today in terms of environmental sustainability. Stored in liquid form, discharged in gas phase.
FM-200: Another commonly used clean agent. Extinguishes fires quickly and can be safely used in areas with people (at certain concentrations).
Advantages
- Leaves No Residue: No cleaning required after system discharge, the gas evaporates.
- Non-Conductive: Can be applied to operating electronic devices (without risk of short circuit).
- Fast Activation: Discharges in 10 seconds or less, stopping the fire in its initial stage.
- Space Saving: Requires far fewer cylinders than CO2 systems, saving space on the ship.
