NOVEC 1230

Shield Novec 1230 Clean Agent Fire Suppression Systems are highly efficient when combined with a properly designed plumbing network using the Shield version of the VDS Flow Calculation Software.

COMPONENTS

Cylinders:cylinders are manufactured in accordance with DOT 4BW500 and TC BWM34* standards. *490L cylinder assemblies are only DOT T4BW500 compliant.
Valve Assembly:All valves are of the pressure differential design, and will not operate without deliberate actuation. The actuation devices can be removed while under pressure to facilitate functionality testing of the system. It is also equipped with a monitoring Pressure Switch as well as a port to facilitate pneumatic actuation of secondary cylinder assemblies.
Cylinder Straps:The cylinder body straps are designed to secure the system assembly during discharge. A single strap is included with all systems up to 103L, while larger systems are equipped with two straps. Systems 490L in size are shipped with two wall mount straps, floor mount straps are available upon request.
