Novec 1230 - Dukare 1230 Extinguishing System

Novec 1230 / Dukare 1230 Extinguishing System - Consultation, Installation & Maintenance

The chemical / synthetic extinguishing agent Novec 1230 / Dukare 1230 (FK-5-1-12) is liquid and becomes gaseous when released from the extinguishing nozzles. The gas absorbs heat energy, thereby interrupting the combustion process. It is therefore particularly recommended for protecting high-value assets such as server rooms, data centers, measurement and control rooms, as well as irreplaceable paper documents and cultural assets (archives, museums).

In the event of a fire, all persons present are first warned by visual and acoustic alarms. The gas then spreads evenly throughout the entire room. Novec 1230 / Dukare 1230 leaves no residue. Novec 1230 / Dukare 1230 is stored in gas cylinders, requires little space, and can be stored within the protected area. The gas is harmless to humans.

The components of a Novec 1230 / Dukare 1230 extinguishing system are:

• Fire alarm system with extinguishing system control
• Gas cylinders with the extinguishing agent Novec 1230 / Dukare 1230
• Triggering device
• Piping
• Extinguishing nozzles

The Novec 1230 / Dukare 1230 extinguishing system can be designed according to the following standards: VdS 2381, DIN EN 15004, ISO 14520, CEA 4045, and NFPA 2001.

Compared to inert gas extinguishing systems, significantly less extinguishing agent is required for Novec 1230 / Dukare 1230, which also allows for shorter flooding times. Novec 1230 is also the most environmentally friendly extinguishing agent compared to other gaseous chemical extinguishing agents. It does not harm the ozone layer and has a very low global warming potential, decomposing completely after just 5 days at the latest.
