Perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone) is a fluorinated ketone with the structural formula CF 3 CF 2 C(=O)CF(CF 3) 2, a fully-fluorinated analog of ethyl isopropyl ketone.It is used as an electronics coolant liquid and fire protection fluid sold commercially by 3M under brand names such as Novec 1230, Novec 649, and FK-5-1-12.
Systems working on a total flooding principle apply an extinguishing agent to a room in order to achieve a concentration of the agent (volume percent of the agent in air) adequate to extinguish the fire. These types of systems may be operated automatically by detection and related controls or manually by the operation of a system actuator.
Its fully fluorinated analog is known as Novec 1230 and is used in gaseous fire suppression. References. a b This page was last edited on 18 July 2024 ...
For instance, there is no such thing as a Novec 1230 System. There are systems that use Novec 1230 fluid. There are also systems that use the numerals 1230 to describe the system. However, the fluid can only be referred to as Novec 1230, when referenced the commercial name or by its chemical name or Ashrae description used in NFPA 2001 as FK-5 ...
The United States Environmental Protection Agency allows concentration of 9% volume in occupied spaces without mandated egress time, or up to 10.5% for a limited time. Most fire suppression systems are designed to provide concentration of 6.25-9%. The HFC-227ea fire suppression agent was the first non-ozone-depleting replacement for Halon 1301.
Since the early 1990s manufacturers have successfully developed safe and effective Halon alternatives. These include DuPont's FM-200, American Pacific's Halotron, FirePro's FPC Compound, Plumis’ Automist and 3M's Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid. Generally, the Halon replacement agents available today fall into two broad categories, in-kind ...
