Halon 1211 is also a potent greenhouse gas with a 100-year global warming potential 2,070 times that of carbon dioxide and an atmospheric lifetime of 16.0 years. [6] Recycling of Halon 1211 allows it to remain in use, [7] [8] although parts availability is limited to a few manufacturers and can be an issue. Halon 1211 is still widely used in ...
Civilian models in 2-3/4, 3, and 4 lb sizes were also made. It is considered good practice to avoid all unnecessary exposure to Halon 1301, and to limit exposures to concentrations of 7% and below to 15 minutes. Exposure to Halon 1301 in the 5% to 7% range produces little, if any, noticeable effect.
This model, called 75/34 Mod. SF, was thus adopted by the Royal Army and production was assigned to Ansaldo . This intervened on the muzzle, shortening it and modifying the muzzle brake, thus obtaining the standard version 75/32 Mod. 1937. The Cannone da 75/32 was designed by Ansaldo and the first examples were produced in 1937.
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).
2,2-Dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane can be produced by reacting tetrachloroethylene with hydrogen fluoride in the gas phase. This is an exothermic reaction and requires a catalyst: This is an exothermic reaction and requires a catalyst:
Halon 1202 (dibromodifluoromethane) Halon 1211 (bromochlorodifluoromethane, CF 2 ClBr) Halon 122 (dichlorodifluoromethane) Halon 1301 (bromotrifluoromethane, CBrF 3) Halon 14 (tetrafluoromethane) Halon 2011B (1-bromo-2-chloroethane) Halon 2301 (1,1,1-trifluoro-2-bromoethane) Halon 2311 (1,1,1-trifluoro-2,2-chlorobromoethane, halothane)
Halotron I was originally introduced in 1992 as a replacement for Halon 1211(bromochlorodifluoromethane), a substance known for its significant ozone-depleting properties. While Halon 1211 has a global warming potential (GWP) of 2,070, [2] Halotron I's GWP is considerably lower at 77, reflecting a 96% reduction in environmental impact. [3]
1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane, also called heptafluoropropane, HFC-227ea (ISO name), HFC-227 or FM-200, as well as apaflurane , is a colourless, odourless gaseous halocarbon commonly used as a gaseous fire suppression agent.
