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 ...
The Cannone da 75/32 was designed by Ansaldo and the first examples were produced in 1937. After Italy surrendered, guns captured by Germany were designated 7.5 cm FK248(i) . This gun was used in Russia with the ARMIR (ARMata Italiana in Russia - Italian Army in Russia) in the "201º Reggimento d'artiglieria motorizzato" and it had good results ...
Halon 1301 is widely used by the U.S. Military [7] and NASA in a 2-3/4 lb portable extinguisher with a sealed, disposable cylinder for quick recharging. Other agents such as CO 2 and FE-36 (HFC-236fa) wet chemical are largely replacing halon 1301 for environmental concerns. Civilian models in 2-3/4, 3, and 4 lb sizes were also made.
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). Carbon dioxide can cause severe ...
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:
