Abstract
In full-scale fire suppression tests using HCFC blend A, halogen acid gases were produced. The agent and the halogen acid gases were monitored using the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic technique during the tests, to determine their time-dependent concentrations in a 121 m³ compartment. Gas samples were also analyzed using gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy (GC/MS) and ion selective electrodes (ISEs) after the tests. The GC/MS results for agent concentrations and the ISE results for the halogen acid concentrations were usually lower that those determined using the FTIR technique. Proper gas sampling and instrument calibration are most important to obtain reliable results for the gas measurement and analysis.
