Even the tiniest unwanted fire inside critical facilities such as the data centers, control towers, clean rooms, labs and automated manufacturing operations can result in a chaotic loss by stopping vital operations and damaging high value equipment and data. Sometimes the loss does not revolve only around monetary and data loss, at times it has been seen the loss of precious lives were far greater than expected. In these situations it is vital to get control over fire quickly before it causes any kind of real harm. It is important to get the flames under control before they cause any real harm because these facilities carry very important roles and leaving the stations unattended for even a second causes the greatest damages recorded in history.

Consider the fact that due to a tiny spark the control tower’s staff had to leave their stations and go outside. Since there wasn’t any fire fighting system installed the, flames go out of hand and it took hours to bring the situation under control. And when the staff returns they find out the equipment has been burnt and it cannot be used. Consider the fate of the passengers inside the airplane running low on fuel contacting the control tower to grant permission to land as it would soon crash if it does not land in time. How many precious lives would be lost if the staff does not respond in time because there isn’t anyone to respond as the flames have taken over the tower.

To counter flames in such critical installations, the best thing to do is to equip it with the Novec 1230 gas suppression system. Having a reliable fire suppression system that can quickly kill flames in their infancy would not only save the building and the people inside it, but it will also save thousands of people who are not directly connected to the building but have to work as the staff inside it advises to them. Thermal damages bring forth some of the worst case scenarios. While no one can stand the blazing heat of the fire so there’s little humans can do without proper firefighting equipment to bring the situation under control.

Since Novec is a gas an unlike every other gas it has to be present inside single skinned containers. It is imperative to keep a watch over the single skinned containers holding the gas to know that it would be available for use when needed. As always, a device is needed to learn about the contents of the single skinned container and the best device one could use here is the ultrasonic liquid level indicator. Taking readings from the device’s screen one can easily know of pressure inside and if it is satisfactory or not. This can save millions of lives and data too.
