Its a huge problem in the navy with aircraft. As a general rule you have to jettison over the side.

I have been told its possible to fight class D fires with a water mist, but never seen anyone actually do it.

High Pressure Mist (HiFog)systems are rapidly replacing conventional extinguishing methods including Halon and CO2. The latter are hard to beat in uninhabited areas especially where electrical switchgear exist.

 

[shortylickens]

Halon and CO2 is used in our enclosed spaces. Its no good on a flight deck.

We had a FM200 system at my previous job, it was kinda neat to see that giant tank sitting near the door. There was a giant blue button on the wall to discharge it. Why do they make these buttons so tempting? :biggrin: There was also this small non descript black button on the wall near it. Nobody knew what it did, not even the maintenance guys. I was kind of curious to try it "by accident" but then I thought, it might be to call a code black (bomb threat). Some rooms did have blue buttons for calling a code blue (cardiac arrest / nurse alert).

I thought it was funny what the maintenance guy said about Halon. "It's not poison, it's just going to kill you". He was right, it kills you because it displaces oxygen, not because it poisons you.

Yes it does displace the oxygen and that's the primary risk. However if it comes in contact with hot surfaces, breakdown occurs and the byproducts are extremely toxic!

A high volume level is recommended especially if you're using ultra high efficiency cans. You will experience what boiling perilymph fluid tastes like. Reminds me of cabbage. :biggrin:

Most likely your headphone amp isn't that powerful. Connecting a set of powerful DJ cans across a fully charged 440uF electrolytic at +250VDC will suffice. The lights in the room will appear to dim dramatically and you will hear (or what you won't) afterward the equivalent of the room plunging into a deep vacuum.

Yup, when halon gets super hot it becomes toxic. I think they used it everywhere but the main engineering spaces. CO2 for those.

My cat did not like that. :biggrin:
