Fire suppressing materials and systems and methods of use

摘要

A fire suppressant mixture comprising: an organic or supplemental organic fire suppressant compound; a halogen element, and an organic compound, wherein the organic fire suppressant compound, the halogen element and the organic compound are combined such that a boiling point of the mixture is lower than the boiling point of the organic fire suppressant. In some embodiments, the organic fire suppressant compound is FK 5-1-12 and the organic compound is carbon dioxide. In other embodiments, the mixture is supplemented with an additional organic compound such as CF3I or 2,2-Dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane (R123), or an halogen element. In some embodiments an inorganic pressurizing gas, such as nitrogen, is also added.

主权项

1. A fire suppressant mixture consisting essentially of:
an organic fire suppressant selected from the group consisting of FK 5-1-12, R123 and CF3I; a halogen element; carbon dioxide; and a pressurizing gas;wherein the halogen element is between 5% and 30% by weight of the fire suppressant mixture and a normal boiling point of the fire suppressant mixture is at least 40 degrees Celsius lower than a normal boiling point of the organic fire suppressant.
