WHAT IS NOVEC 1230 FLUID?
Novec 1230 fluid is formed from the elements carbon, fluorine, and oxygen [CF3CF2C(O)CF(CF3)2 – dodecafluoro-2-methylpentan-3-one]. The primary extinguishing mechanism of Novec 1230 fluid is heat absorption, with a secondary chemical contribution from the thermal decomposition of Novec 1230 fluid in the flame.
Novec 1230 fluid leaves no residue and is safe for use in occupied spaces. Manufactured by 3M, it is electrically non-conductive and environmentally sustainable.

THE JANUS FIRE SYSTEMS® DIFFERENCE
In Janus Fire Systems® Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems, the Novec 1230 Fluid is stored as a liquid in specially designed steel cylinder assemblies fitted with forged brass, differential pressure-operated valves. Three valve sizes (Sv, Mv, and Lv Series) each with multiple cylinder size options allow individual cylinder fills ranging from 22 lbs to 1000 lbs (10.0 kg to 453.6 kg).
Janus Fire Systems® Clean Agent Fire Extinguishing Systems are engineered systems, meaning they offer maximum flexibility to tailor each system design according to the location they protect.
Our system offers three different nozzle types in seven different sizes, with expansive vertical and horizontal coverage from each single nozzle. Listed and approved selector valves allow us to provide economical solutions to large projects. Together with the Janus Design Suite® Flow Calculation Software, this makes every Janus Fire Systems® system unique to each structure and its individual requirements.
