NOVEC is an innovative solution
that reduces the risk of fire damage in critical
applications and sensitive equipment. At a
proper system design concentration, the
extinguishing agent NOVEC Fire Protection Fluid
absorbs sufficient heat to upset the balance of
the fire. This cooling effect is supported by
the oxygen reduction in the flame due to the
volumetric expansion of the molecules. The high
efficiency of the NOVEC system allows using a
low extinguishing concentration. As a result,
the user needs to store only a relatively small
amount of the extinguishing agent to safely
protect rooms. Additionally, the minimum 10 bar
at the nozzle concept used by Siemens ensures
fast and full evaporation of the NOVEC fluid,
minimizing extinguishing times. Compact system
designs are possible as NOVEC works with the
NOVEC fluid, offering the lowest design
concentration of all currently authorized
extinguishing agents. Fewer cylinders and less
space are needed for installation and storage
because the liquid agent NOVEC fluid is stored
in cylinders pressurized with 42-bar nitrogen.
