Product description
UNITOR 1230 Clean Agent System, Is a fixed gas fire extinguishing system using fire extinguishing agent NOVEC 1230 stored in steel cylinders and distributed through steel pipes and brass nozzles. The extinguishing concentration and UNITOR 1230 nozzles are covered by this type approval certificate. Other components submitted for this type approval are reviewed, but shall be submitted and approved for each project. The gas is produced by 3M, Cordova, Illinois, USA. The nozzles are produced by Savo System, Kansas, USA.

Application/Limitation
The design gas concentration (oil fuel) shall be minimum 5.85% (applied on a net volume) and the maximum agent discharge time shall be 10 seconds. The extinguishing system shall be designed and installed according to SOLAS Ch. II-2, IMO MSC/Circ.848 as amended by IMO MSC.1/Circ.1267 and the UNITOR 1230 Design/Installation Manual. The following additional limitations will apply: A. UNITOR 1230 systems are not suitable for the ships cargo holds. If UNITOR 1230 systems are installed inside cargo pump rooms, all components shall be certified for use in hazardous areas and the design gas concentration shall be suitable for the cargoes carried. B. If Novec 1230 is to be used above its NOAEL (calculated on net volume at max expected ambient temperature), means should be provided to limit exposure (IMO MSC.1/Circ.1267, 6). In no case should Novec 1230 be used in concentrations above its LOAEL. C. Steel storage cylinders are available with sizes of 14 l to 345 l. Cylinders being 81 l or larger is only accepted when arrangements are provided on board to ensure that cylinders can be easily moved (even to shore) for service and recharging. D. Cylinders are topped up with nitrogen to 34.5 bar at 21C (increasing 1 bar per 7.5 The fill density shall be maximum C). 1.2 kg/l except the 345 l cylinders which shall have 1.12 kg/l. Cylinders shall be certified by DNV, or by a recognised certification society according to national regulation and marked accordingly; , UN, DOT (as instructed in DNV Rules for Ships Pt.4 Ch.7 Sec.1 E400). E. Cylinders to be located in a separate room in accordance with SOLAS Ch. II-2 Reg. 10.4.3, or distributed throughout the protected space in accordance with the requirements in IMO MSC/Circ.848 item 11as amended by IMO MSC.1/Circ.1267. When distributed within the protected space, the minimum extinguishing concentration (after any single failure) shall be 4.5 %.

Components in the system will be regarded under pressure class II with a maximum design pressure of 39 bar (at 55 C). To be certified according to DNV Rules for Classification of Ships Pt.4 Ch.6 Sec.2. Consideration will though be made for piping and couplings inside the protected space. The nozzles are to be located in accordance with the Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual. A basic rule is that one nozzle can as a maximum cover an area of 10m x 10m. A 360 nozzle shall be located centrally in this area, the 180 nozzles on the sides (as applicable). The maximum coverage height for a row of nozzles is 5 m. The average pressure at the nozzle during discharge is 10 bar for a maximum coverage area of 100m2. For coverage area up to 50m2 the average nozzle pressure can be reduced to 5 bar. The sides of the coverage area described above shall not exceed 10 meter. Bilges (except open bilges in small volume engine rooms) are to be protected with a dedicated nozzle network.

The following documentation is to be submitted in each separate case: 1. Plans showing location of cylinders, piping, nozzles and release stations as well as the assembled system. 2. Unitor 1230 system capacity calculations, including hydraulic flow calculations. 3. Plans defining release lines and alarm system. 4. Material specification and dimensions for piping and specifications for all other components. 5. Ship specific release procedures. 6. The manual containing design, inspection, operation and maintenance procedures. 7. Control arrangements for closure of openings and stop of fans and any pressure relief devices as per IMO MSC/Circ. 848, 13. These plans can also be supplied by yard.

Testing at installations and periodical surveys The system shall be tested as per makers manual both after installation and at periodical surveys, except that DNV do not require monthly content check of cylinders. The test pressure is minimum 59 bar for any closed sections, whereas open section shall be tightness tested at minimum 7 bar. The system is subject to biennual (every 2nd year) inspections by a DNV approved service supplier. The attending surveyor will also apply the DNV Instructions to Surveyors on newbuilding and ship in operation surveys.
