Clean Agent Suppression Systems

Using Water as a fire suppressant in areas where electronics operate and irreplaceable high-value assets are stored could be as devistationg as fire itself. Protect them instead with ANSUL SAPPHIRE clean agent system, custom engineered to quickly suppress fires and protect sensitive equipment without causing harm to people or the environment.

THE DIFFERENCE IS CRYSTAL CLEAR

The heart of the system is revolutionary 3M Novec 1230 fire protection fluid, a clear colourless and odourless clean agent. Stored in cylinders in its fluid form, Novec 1230 instantly vapourises upon discharge, totally flooding protected spaces and absorbing heat better than water. In tandem with Vesda systems, the SAPPHIRE system suppresses a fire before it can start by detecting it at invisible levels, and once the danger has passed Novec 1230 quickly evaporates without harming valuable assets.

The SAPPHIRE suppression system represents the most effective fire protection on the market today. These systems are especially suited to suppress fires in areas where an electrically non-conductive medium is required, where electronic systems cannot be shut down in an emergency, where clean up of other agents poses a problem, and in normally occupied areas that demand a non-toxic agent.

SAFE FOR PEOPLE

Because it is used in concentrations of only 5.3% by volume, well below the 10% maximum for safe exposure, Novec 1230 provides the widest safety margin of any chemical clean agent available today.

SAFE FOR THE PLANET

An ozone depletion potential (ODP) of Zero, a global warming potential (GWP) of One, and an atmospheric lifetime of just 5 days makes Novec 1230 the cleanest, most environmentally friendly chemical agent in existance.
