Abstract
Most commercial halon replacements (i.e., halocarbon agents) contribute to global warming and may be subject to regulation in future developments of the Kyoto Protocol. The use of environmentally safe ingredients for fire suppression is a preferred option in applications where total flooding of an area is required. The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) conducted a series of full-scale tests to evaluate the performance of Inergen (52% N₂ + 40% Ar + 8% Co₂ by volume) for fire suppression applications. Test results are provided in this paper.
