How does Perfluorohexanone FK 5 1 12 Mainly Achieve Its Fire Extinguishing Effect? - Knowledge

What is Perfluorohexanone FK-5-1-12?

As we all know, the most common energy storage fire extinguishing agent in China is definitely perfluorohexanone! Perfluorohexanone is a fluorinated ketone compound. It is a colorless, odorless, low-toxic, transparent liquid at room temperature and easy to vaporize. In recent years, FK 5 1 12 clean agent has been accepted and widely used in the fire protection field as an efficient and clean gas fire extinguishing agent.

FK-5-1-12 chemical name: perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone).

Novec 1230 vs FK-5-1-12

3M produces perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone) under different brand names of Novec 1230 and Novec 649. These two products have different purity grades (>99% and >99.9%, respectively). Perfluorohexanone FK-5-1-12's chemical composition does not change.

It has the characteristics of low fire extinguishing concentration, high fire extinguishing efficiency, high safety factor, good insulation, and no damage to electronic precision equipment. It is especially suitable for fire protection of power application facilities such as electrochemical energy storage power stations, big data centers, and distribution rooms.

Perfluorohexanone automatic fire extinguishing device

The perfluorohexanone automatic fire extinguishing system is a customized fire extinguishing system. It can customize the design of detectors, nozzles, pipelines and starting methods according to the fire characteristics and ignition points of the box-type substation, so as to quickly start and extinguish the fire source when a fire occurs, thereby achieving the purpose of efficient fire control and extinguishing, thereby effectively ensuring the safe operation of power equipment.

During the fire extinguishing process, perfluorohexanone can quickly penetrate into every corner, including electrical appliances and circuits, effectively extinguishing all kinds of fires. In addition, since perfluorohexanone does not pollute the environment, it can be widely used in various places, such as production workshops, warehouses, ships, vehicles, etc.

Fire extinguishing principle of perfluorohexanone FK 5 1 12:

The main reasons why perfluorohexanone can quickly cool down are its physical properties and chemical reaction mechanism. First, the physical properties of perfluorohexanone, such as high density, high heat capacity, and high specific heat, enable it to quickly absorb a large amount of heat during the fire extinguishing process, thereby rapidly reducing the temperature of the fire source.

At the same time, the chemical properties of perfluorohexanone are also very important. FK 5 1 12 is a new type of environmentally friendly clean agent, which is not only safe, non-toxic, highly insulating, and environmentally friendly, but also has a unique chemical reaction mechanism.

When perfluorohexanone is sprayed, it captures the chain free radicals produced by combustion, thereby interrupting the combustion reaction chain and eventually extinguishing the flame. In addition, perfluorohexanone sprays in the form of fine water mist, which can quickly vaporize and absorb a large amount of heat, further rapidly reducing the temperature of the fire scene.

At the same time, perfluorohexanone covers the surface of the burning object, forming an isolation layer that hinders combustion, isolating the oxygen required for combustion, achieving the purpose of suffocating the fire, and effectively preventing the fire from rekindling. Therefore, perfluorohexanone has a high efficiency and rapid cooling effect in a fire.
