Evolution of Combustion Byproducts from Gaseous Fire Suppression Agents

Abstract

An interesting observation made during a study of potential fire suppression agents with lower GWP than those currently used, was that the byproducts from FK-5-1-12 evolved quite differently than those from Halon 1301 or HFC227-BC. Continuous sampling gas phase Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrometers were used to analyze the combustion byproducts from each trial in near real time. Using this technique allows for the accurate measurement of multiple analytes, including COF2 and HF.
