Benefits of a Liquid
• Available for Air Shipping
• It can be stored on site
• Allows for on site refilling
• Fills can be increased or decreased to
meet changes in size or room density
• Storage pressure can vary to meet
application
Tote Filling
• Remove valve from
cylinder
• Fill cylinder with agent to
desired weight
• Insert diptube into
cylinder
• Charge cylinder through
valve outlet to correct
nitrogen weight
• Agitate cylinder until
pressure gauge indicates
360 psi
On Site Refilling
Transport Liquid,
Nonpressurized to site
Required Materials
• Nitrogen, Regulator, and
Tape Measure
Procedure
• Disconnect
• Fill to required amount

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
