Halon 1301 is the primary agent used in commercial aviation engine, cargo compartments, and auxiliary power unit fire zones. [9] [10] Efforts to find a suitable replacement for Halon 1301 have not produced a widely accepted replacement. [11] [12] Bromotrifluoromethane was also used as a filling of the bubble chamber in the neutrino detector ...
Bromochlorodifluoromethane (BCF), also referred to by the code numbers Halon 1211 and Freon 12B1, is a haloalkane with the chemical formula C F 2 Cl Br. It is used for fire suppression, especially for expensive equipment or items that could be damaged by the residue from other types of extinguishers. [ 1 ]
Bromochloromethane or methylene bromochloride and Halon 1011 is a mixed halomethane. It is a heavy low-viscosity liquid with refractive index 1.4808. Halon 1011 was invented for use in fire extinguishers in Germany during the mid-1940s, in an attempt to create a less toxic, more effective alternative to carbon tetrachloride .
1,2-Dibromotetrafluoroethane (C 2 Br 2 F 4) is a haloalkane.It is also known under codenames R-114B2 and Halon 2402.It is a colorless liquid with a boiling point of 47.2 °C. R-114B2 is occasionally used in fire suppression systems.
Halon 1301 total flooding systems are typically used at concentrations no higher than 7% by volume in air, and can suppress many fires at 2.9% v/v. By contrast, carbon dioxide fire suppression flood systems operate from 34% concentration by volume (surface-only combustion of liquid fuels) up to 75% (dust traps).
The Hypersonic Air Launched Offensive Anti-Surface (HALO) is a hypersonic air-launched anti-ship missile being developed for the United States Navy. [1] It is designed to provide greater anti-surface warfare capability than the AGM-158C LRASM and is expected to be compatible with F/A-18E/F Super Hornet. [2]
Halon 2311 (1,1,1-trifluoro-2,2-chlorobromoethane, halothane) Halon 242 (1,2-dichlorotetrafluoroethane) Halon 2402 (dibromotetrafluoroethane, C 2 Br 2 F 4 )—used as a fire extinguisher
In November 2013, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality approved a rebate program to provide financial incentives up to $2,500 for the purchase or lease of new eligible vehicles powered by compressed natural gas (CNG), liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), or plug-in electric drive with battery capacity larger than 4 kWh, from a licensed dealer or leasing company.
