Adding security to your ship or building never goes wasted. You have a lot of precious goods that are not only worth money, but they have emotional attachments as well and you desire to protect them. The worst scenarios have taken place when an unwanted fire broke out and ate up everything. Thermal damage to the goods often leaves them useless and unrecognizable. Surely you do not want any person to be harmed in your premises by fire. Making sure that you have complete protection against uncontrolled flames gives you a sense of ease and satisfaction. Nearly billions of goods are damaged every year all over the world due to fire.
The
Novec 1230 gas suppression system is a system designed to overpower the unwanted flames as soon as they are born. It is undoubtedly due to an accident which is the cause of a human error. A person may have left the cigarette still burning near some sensitive area. Or an electric spark may occur which may cause something to burn and go up in flames. In any case, the fire that is caused by an accident often causes the most severe damage. Because people are unprepared for it, they have no idea how and when will it strike.
Apart from fighting fire with tools and other means of firefighting equipment, it must be ensured that the building has safe exit points. Be it a house or a commercial building, safe exit points are a necessity. In houses, the windows are a very good escape point. If they can be opened and a person may be able to crawl or jump outside, in case of fire he can manage to save himself. But in the case of multi story buildings, jumping outside is as fatal as getting burnt to death. Thus, in this case the exit points are best route of escape.
As far as the Novec gas is concerned, it is present in single skinned containers. These containers are made of metal and have no means of seeing inside. Thus you never know the amount of gas present or the pressure inside. Hence it needs to e monitored by a gadget popularly known as the
ultrasonic liquid level indicator. This gadget allows us to know about the gas’ condition and one can easily make sure if he needs to be worried about anything. Low gas pressure or low gas level can mean there won’t be enough available when needed. It must be refilled as soon as possible to avoid any inconvenience.
