V1230

V1230 systems are designed to extinguish fires involving flammable liquids, gases and in electrical equipment.
System design pressure is 42 bar, V1230 extinguishes fires by a combination of physical and chemical means. It does not significantly deplete the oxygen content in the room and tests have shown it to be less toxic than Halon 1301.
A system comprises Nozzles, Containers, Pipe work and Zone Valve etc.
V1230 is liquid under pressure and is stored in containers, each of which is fitted with a valve specially designed to discharge the agent in containers rapidly.
When the valve opens, the agent flows into the distribution pipe work to the discharge nozzles where it is rapidly dispersed as a vapour.
