Gielle HFC-23™ is a specialist suppression agent with characteristics not unlike those of Halon 1301. Browse our Web Library for more information on this interesting agent - it may be the one you have been looking
for.
Gielle HFC-23™ is the extinguishing agent for specialist applications ranging from offshore oil platforms and industrial storage areas to locomotives and anechoic
chambers.
Gielle HFC-23™ is Trifluoroethane - a high-pressure clean agent which contains no Bromine or
Chlorine, hence its ODP of zero. Fires are quickly and efficiently suppressed with Gielle HFC-23™ by the process of physiochemical thermal transfer, the presence of the Gielle HFC-23™ molecule at the flame front absorbing heat from a fire as a sponge absorbs
liquid.
Gielle HFC-23™ is safe to personnel - no exposure restrictions have been set for its use in occupied areas up to the NOAEL of 30%. Gielle HFC-23™ is kind to the environment - it does not deplete stratospheric
ozone.
Since the phase-out of Halon 1301, a gap has existed in certain applications for which Halon was ideally
suited. These applications involved areas greater in height than three
metres, those where high concentrations were required in occupied areas and those where agent cylinder storage areas could be subject to extremely low temperatures - the "High, High, Low aspect of Gielle HFC-23™ satisfies the requirements for these specialist
applications;

The high pressure nature of Gielle HFC-23™ gives it an advantage in UL approval height
testing. Gielle HFC-23™ nozzles have been tested to a height of 7.6
metres, which is greater than any currently listed clean agent system and close to the maximum for Halon 1301 of 9
metres.
High concentration inerting applications: With a NOAEL of 30%, Gielle HFC-23™ will allow for high concentration application without human exposure
restrictions. The most common of these is inerting applications
where, depending on the fuel to be inerted, Gielle HFC-23™ maybe the only answer without human exposure
limitations.
Low temperature applications: Gielle HFC-23™ is suitable for use at a minimum storage temperature of -40 degrees C whilst other agents have limitations in the region of zero degrees C. Halon 1301 offered -4O degrees C storage and Gielle HFC-23™ is the only clean agent capable of providing this low temperature
feature.
Gielle offers a complete range of services to support HFC-23™ clean agent systems including system design,
installation, maintenance and 24 hour service
