Whenever you have an electric current flow in some particular place, plus you have another fuel source present in the same vicinity, even the smallest mistake could result in the biggest fire. The finest example of such vehicle is the transport ship, which is one of the biggest vehicles present today. It has one of the most complex webs of wires and one of the most powerful engines ever built. The web of electric wires contain hundreds of volts which power the electric bulbs, batteries, hatch covers and other important parts to keep them running at all times. And the engine produces power worthy of a thousand horses.
The killer machine that can lift thousands of tons in one round and transport it from one continent to another cost a fortune to buy and seeing it go down in flames is something that can give anyone a heart attack. Before you suffer one, it is better to make preparations beforehand by having a
Novec 1230 gas suppression system installed. With the system installed, it makes the ship easy to be rescued from wildfire whenever it emerges. Since using water inside a ship is not only risky, it can cause the ship to turn over or one side, using gas to fight flames is one of the best strategy.
When there is a fire on a ship, the commotion caused by it becomes another reason for greater damage. Frightened people run about in all directions forgetting the safety precautions. It is the duty of the staff, especially the trained ones to gather those people in a safe place and stop them from panicking. In the meantime, fire keeps expanding and it tries to reach and feed on every object it can get a grip on. Since the staff is already busy in some other place, combating the flames can be delayed by them. Hence the Novec 1230 gas suppression system keeps on working during that period. And if it is working, seriously, you don’t need any human to fight the flames.
Like every other gas commercially sold and transported. Novec 1230 is contained in specially designed single skinned cylinders. These cylinders are robust and can withstand a lot of external pressure hence keeping the gas inside them safe under all circumstances. It is however that they can sprout a leak one day pr another and the staff wouldn’t even know about it. So it is important to keep measuring the cylinders with the
ultrasonic liquid level indicator and be sure there are no leaks gone unnoticed.
