SEVO Discharge Nozzles
The SEVO™ discharge nozzles are designed to provide a complete and rapid vaporization of the Novec™ 1230 fluid as well as properly distribute the agent within the protected space. Standard nozzles are made of aluminum and are available in various sizes, including ½”, 1”, 1½”, 2” and 2½”.Both 180º and 360º models cover a maximum area of 32’ x 32’ with a maximum height of 16’-4” (FM) or14’-0’’ (UL/ULC).
SEVO™ DISCHARGE NOZZLES
3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid
Environmental-friendly Extinguishing Agent
Typically used at concentrations from 4.5% to 6%, the 3M™ Novec™ 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is a new generation of halon replacement gas designed to mitigate concerns regarding occupant safety, extinguishing performance and the environment. Contrary to first generation HFC’s, the Novec™ 1230 fluid has key characteristics that define a clean extinguishing agent such as:
- ozone layer depletion potential of zero (ODP)
- global warming potential of 1 (GWP)
- atmospheric lifetime of only 5 days
- widest safety margin for occupants
