Abstract:
Discharge of the three selected alternative agents for
aircraft dry bay fire protection has been conducted in a
simulated dry bay (i.e., in an unconfined space). The
three selected agents are CF3I, FC-218, and HFC-125.
Halon 1301 is also included in the study for the purpose
of comparison.
