Novec 1230 Is Safe For Cruise Ships
Cruise ships are one of the priciest vehicles to roam the oceans. Some of the most elegant cruise ships are known to cost more than anything that has been made to float on water. The luxury packed elegant and powerful ship is designed to give its customers the best time of their life. You get to swim in the swimming pool on the deck while you roam about in the open seas, and there is everything to enjoy you ever wish for. Loaded with the latest technology stuff, you’ll be able to answer emails and make video calls while you are miles away from shore.
It is a dream come true to own a cruise ship and make it open for the public to board it and make their vacations enjoyable. However when you board the public on your ship, there are a thousand ways your precious beauty can be harmed beyond repair and you must make sure you protect it at all times. One of the biggest fears of all ship owners is seeing their prized possession go down in flames. Because of the excessive woodwork and the other items meant to increase the beauty, even the smallest spark can ignite the biggest flame. In case of such emergency, one cannot find enough men to tackle the fire and hence the Novec 1230 gas suppression system is certainly needed. The gas will be used to put out the flames once the fire starts growing to become risky. Since water can clearly increase the weight of the ship making it denser than water which would cause it to sink, it is unwise to use it on a ship. If it spreads all over, the ship becomes heavy, if it gathers in one side; the ship can turn turtle or can bow down to one side in a very bad shape. Hence the best solution is to use gas which can evaporate instantly and do not mess up with the balance of the ship. Novec is present inside the single skinned containers attached to the system. The cylinders need to be measured regularly and it is only possible with the ultrasonic liquid level indicator. Using the ultrasonic device the cylinders can be measured at any time and in any position they are installed in. If the pressure is low or the gas level is down it will be highlighted on the device and the management can decide to replace that particular cylinder or not.
