application

6. Tote Filling
• Remove valve from
cylinder
• Fill cylinder with agent to
desired weight
• Insert diptube into
cylinder
• Charge cylinder through
valve outlet to correct

13. Emissions Trading
Trade in “your”HGWMs/Halon 1301 for 3M™Novec™1230 Fire Protection Fluid
To assist in the reduction of greenhouse gases, SEVO®
Systems is willing to
propose a trade for existing HGWMs (High Global Warming Materials).
-Up to a 50% discount off the cost of Novec™1230 fluid, for HGWMs/Halon
1301.
The following agents are available for credit with purchase of Novec
1230 fluid:

14. Replacing today and the future
With the commercialization of 3M™Novec™1230 Fire Protection Fluid (C6-flouroketone), there is now a
reason to phase-out first generation Halon alternatives. SEVO Systems offers a long-term sustainable choice.
With the regulatory status of today and tomorrow, Novec 1230 fluid is the Safe Environmental Choice that
meets the acceptance worldwide. HFCs have been identified in the Kyoto Protocol as greenhouse gases
targeted for emission reduction because of their high global warming potential. Due to the environmental
impact of HFCs, countries around the world have already taken action on its use.
Countries that have taken action towards HFCs include:
Norw a y – enacted a tax on imports of HFCs/PFCs of 180 NKr per ton (0.18 NKR per kg CO2), for
HFC-227ea tax would be 552 NKr ($72 USD) per kg.
G e rm a n y – Environment Ministry issued a paper in October 2002 with initial proposals for HFC
controls, options include use restrictions or bans. German industry is generally opposed. A proposal
was expected in June, but may be delayed indefinitely.
De n m a rk – first comprehensive national law banning HFCs enacted on July 1, most uses banned by
2007.
Au s tria – bans HFCs for fire protection in 2003, many uses banned by 2008 with a procedure for
review in 2005 to determine whether the phase-out dates are feasible.
Sw itze rla n d – HFC extinguishing agents were banned on January 1, 2003.
Along with countries that have begun the phase-out of HGWMs, a number of global companies have begun
the phase-out in order to make their company a more sustainable business.

-25 bar (360 psi)
• Allowing drop-in replacement for
existing Halon/HFCs piped installations
-Pressures up to 35 bar (500
psi)
• Optional Variable Storage Pressure

25. Why SEVO Systems/Novec
1230
Halon drop-in replacement
- 2 to 1 agent replacement
- 1 to 1 cylinder replacement
- Utilize existing pipe network
- Variable operating pressure
- Save labor & downtime
HFC drop-in replacement
- 1 to 1 cylinder replacement due to fill density
(75 vs. 70 lbs/ft3
)

26. Why SEVO Systems/Novec
1230?
Life Safety
- Unlike other Halon replacing systems/clean agents
Novec 1230 at Design Concentration gives customer
67-150% Safety Margin,
due to a NOAEL/LOAEL 10%
- Even at inerting concentrations, Novec 1230 allows
for a minimum life safety margin
Vs. HFCs
- Low NOAEL/LOAEL allowing for a very low to zero
margin for life safety

27. Why SEVO Systems/Novec
1230?
Environmental
- Zero Ozone Depletion
- Global Warming Potential of 1
- Atmospheric Lifetime of 3-5 days
- Meet today and future regulations
Vs. HFCs
- High Global Warming Potential
- Atmospheric Lifetime measured in years
- Environmental regulations will force phase-out
