A Study on the Measurement of Flame Extinguishing Concentration of Halon Alternatives by New Test Equipment

A new test system was established to measure the flame extinguishing concentration of Halon alternatives. The main characteristic of this system is to use the solid paraffin with a wick instead of liquid fuel, such as n-Heptane. Our results showed that the extinguishing concentration of compounds was lower than that of other existing data, but the trend was consistent with others. The flame extinguishing concentration of all tested compounds were not almost effected by gas flow velocity. The system produces good reliable data with a minimum error for measuring the flame extinguishing concentration. Therefore our new system can be utilized as a standard equipment to evaluate Halon alternatives.
