About Novec 1230 Gas Suppression System
Novec 1230 gas suppression system is an inert gas fire suppression system designed to protect sensitive and valuable equipment from the hazards of fire. It works by releasing a cloud of Novec 1230 gas, which is an environmentally friendly gas that is odorless, colorless, and non-conductive. The gas works by quickly extinguishing the fire, while also cooling the affected area to prevent re-ignition. Novec 1230 is also effective in suppressing the spread of smoke and toxic gases, making it a popular choice for protecting data centers, server rooms, and other high-value areas.
