A REVIEW OF THERMAL DECOMPOSITION PRODUCT TESTING OF HALOCARBON FIRE SUPPRESSION AGENTS

摘要: During the past decade, an extensive amount of research has been conducted to develop a suitable replacement for Halon 1301. One objective this quantify thermal decomposition products generated when halogenated agents are broken down at high temperatures and combine with combustion products. The product greatest concern fluorinated is hydrogen fluoride (HF). HF highly corrosive gas that causes severe sensory irritation in humans [1]. Tests quantified production have large range fire sizes, room volumes, discharge times, fuels, agent concentrations. This paper provides overview research.
