Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document discusses the SAPPHIRE PLUS system, which utilizes 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fire protection fluid stored at 70 bar (1015 psi). This system offers increased flexibility and efficiency in fire suppression through higher fill densities and reduced installation and service time.

Specifications and Features
The SAPPHIRE PLUS system is designed to protect people, the environment, and high-value assets. It operates at a pressure of 70 bar, allowing for higher fill densities up to 1.4 kg/L (87.4 lb/ft3). The system supports extended pipe runs and the use of selector valves to protect multiple hazards from a single container bank. It also features optimized pipe sizes and an electric actuator with an integrated placement switch.

Sustainability and Safety
The 3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid is environmentally friendly, with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of 1.0. It is used at safe concentrations of 4.5 to 5.9% by volume, well below the maximum safe exposure limit of 10%. The system carries a 20-year environmental warranty.

Performance and Efficiency
The SAPPHIRE systems deliver the agent within 6 to 10 seconds, quickly suppressing fires to minimize damage, refurbishment costs, and downtime. The system is effective on Class A, B, and C fires and is UL/ULC and LPCB listed, as well as FM approved.

SAPPHIRE PLUS 70-Bar Clean Agent Fire Suppression Systems ® Significant Performance Enhancements Already a time-proven clean agent technology with 25 and 42-bar nominal container pressures, the “PLUS” in the ANSUL® SAPPHIRE PLUS system represents 70-Bar capabilities. Product Overview Higher Pressure Equals Greater Flexibility The 70-Bar advantage n Higher Fill Densities Reduced Footprint, Installation Cost and Service Time n Wider Temperature Range: -18 to 65°C (0 to 149°F) n Selector Valves and Extended Pipe Runs The SAPPHIRE PLUS system stores 3M™ Novec™ 1230 fire protection fluid at 70 bar (1015 psi) which helps reduce the storage footprint, installation and service time by offering higher fill densities up to 1.4 kg/L (87.4 lb/ft3). The increased pressure also permits the containers to be located much further from the protected space and increases the ability to introduce selector valves to protect multiple hazards from a single container bank. Additionally, pipe sizes can be reduced increasing the economy and design flexibility. Optimized Pipe Sizes Easy Halocarbon Retrofit Electric Actuator with Integrated Placement Switch n The ANSUL® SAPPHIRE system has a proven track record for protecting people, the environment and high value assets. The SAPPHIRE system has a proven track record for protecting people, the environment and high value assets. Each system is custom engineered to quickly suppress fires while eliminating agent cleanup and minimizing the downtime that can be associated with other agent types. Sustainable Technology for Occupied Spaces 3M Novec 1230 Fire Protection Fluid provides a wide safety margin because it is used at concentrations of only 4.5 to 5.9% by volume which is well below the maximum 10% concentration for safe exposure. The agent has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP); and with an atmospheric lifetime between three and five days and a global warming potential of 1.0, it is the most environment friendly of the chemical clean agents. In fact, SAPPHIRE system installations carry a 20-year environmental warranty covering both the agent and the system hardware. Fast Acting Suppression Reduces Downtime SAPPHIRE systems work fast, delivering the agent within 6 to 10 seconds, suppressing fires before they have the chance to spread. Most importantly, when a fire is suppressed quickly, the result is less damage, lower refurbishment costs and reduced
