Sinorix 1230 extinguishing system

sustainable protection

Building technlogies

Latest generation of our chemical

extinguishing systems

Long-term, sustainable technology

Ensuring quick and reliable

extinguishing

Offering one of the highest safety

margins for people

No negative impact on the

environment, especially on global
warming

Sinorix 1230 extinguishing system

advanced extinguishing

With the 42-bar technology from

Siemens which allows for highest
efficiency and flexibility in
engineering
Based on the extinguishing agent
3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection
Fluid which is safe for the environment, people, processes and assets
Rapid, safe, and automated
interventions can prevent loss of
data and secure business continuity

Building technlogies

Sinorix 1230 extinguishing system

fast and highly effective

High efficiency of system allows

the use of low extinguishing
concentration
only relatively small amounts of
the extinguishing agent need to
be stored to safely protect rooms
Siemens minimum 10 bar at the
nozzle concept ensures fast and
full evaporation of the agent
minimizing extinguishing times
Room flooding within 10 seconds
and fast extinguishing

Sinorix 1230 extinguishing system

compact, economical and highest design flexibility

Compact system design possible

thanks to the use of Novec 1230
fluid that offers one of the lowest
extinguishing concentrations
Siemens 42-bar high-pressure
technology allows higher design
flexibility
Special software calculates the ideal
layout of the piping network, etc.
Systems easily adaptable to existing
ones with few alterations

3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid harmless for assets and people

Novec 1230 fluid is non-corrosive

and non-conductive
protecting high-value assets
such as delicate electronics from
damage see image!

Non-toxic, non-flammable, nonexplosive

thus no transport restrictions,
safe and easy to handle and fill

Harmless to peoples health with

one of the highest safety margins

Market acceptance of Novec 1230

Some EU Markets are Not Accessible for HFC 227

environmental laws, Kyoto based laws, damage from Halon ban

Switzerland
chemical gases accepted if ALT < 2 years

Denmark
ban of HFC`s for fire protection applications

Austria
strong limitations to HFC 227 due to Kyoto based law

(independent study to approve usage needed)

Germany and rest of Scandinavia

limited chance for chemical gases due to Halon ban and due to environmental
parameters

SINORIX 1230 - Customer request

Novec1230 is an alternative to inert agents where the customer:

Does not have enough space for container storage

Does not wish to cause overpressurisation

Wishes to limit fire damage by very rapid extinction

Wishes to use an ecological extinguishing agent

And to have the option of a modular system

Can re-use the pipe network from a Halon 1301 installation (needs to be
validated by calculation)

Requests an innovative and permanent solution

SINORIX 1230 - Toxicity

The NOAEL value of 10% for NOVEC1230 is in the same range as

for HFCs.

Its low extinguishing concentration is a long way below the critical

cardiac region (70% safety margin).

NOVEC 1230 is listed by SNAP and is EPA certified

SIEMENS system technology

Technology developed in-house by Siemens SAS,

Produced by Production Extinction Siemens SAS.
All the accessories too (e.g.: pressure gauge, manual release,
etc.)
Monitoring of the entire distribution chain (gas and equipment
supply)
Guaranteed product quality: The complex production process
means NOVEC 1230 cannot be copied
Uses the same components (valves, actuators, etc) as SINORIX
227 systems: Same training in product handling and spares
