| Abstract | This literature review provides information on the impact of thermal decomposition products generated during fire suppression by halon replacements on electronic facilities. It includes a review of the thermal decomposition products formed during fire suppression and the potential corrosive damageto electronic facilities caused by halon replacements. The factors that contribute to the corrosive damage to electronic facilities, such as the concentration of corrosive species, the exposure period, the nature of the combustible materials involved in the fire, the temperature and humidity in the compartment, and the type of equipment exposed, are identified. Previous experimental studies on the impact of HF corrosion to the electronic equipment, including laboratory-scale and full-scale tests, arealso reviewed and discussed. Based on this review, recommendations are provided for minimizing HF corrosive damage to the electronic equipment and some issues for further study are identified. |
