Use Of Hcfc As A Drop-In Halons' Replacement For Existing Buildings

Lam, K. C. and Eddy, N. G., 1988. Use Of Hcfc As A Drop-In Halons' Replacement For Existing Buildings. AOFST 3


ABSTRACT

The application of a unique blend of HCFC for direct replacement of Halons is technically and economically viable for existing buildings fitted with Halon installations. Use of this "drop-in" replacement of Halons is a useful interim solution to protection of life, property and the already damaged global environment. With this "transitional product", building owners can immediately convert their existing harmful Halon installations to a safe and environmental-friendly fire extinguishing system. This is a significant contribution to the reduction of atmospheric bromine/chlorine loading over the next decades.
