Definitions

  • the present invention relates to compounds which can be used for fire fighting.
  • the invention relates in particular to the use of extinguishing compounds chosen from hydrogenofluoroalkanes.
  • chlorobromofluoroalkanes and bromofluoroalkanes are mainly used.
  • Trifluorobromomethane, difluorochlorobromomethane and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro 1,2-dibromoethane are used in particular.
  • This method indicates the minimum percentage of extinguisher compound (measured by volume) in an air plus extinguisher compound mixture required to extinguish an ignited liquid fuel.
  • the compounds according to the invention have low Cup Burner values (generally less than 10%) and therefore have a high extinguishing power.
  • trifluorobromomethane which is currently one of the most widely used extinguishing agents, has a Cup Burner value equal to 4.2% but is cited in the Montreal Protocol.
  • the compounds according to the invention have the advantage of having zero ODPs. This means that they have no destructive effect on the stratospheric ozone layer.
  • ODP trichlorofluoromethane
  • the compounds according to the invention are not very corrosive and have low human toxicity.
  • the liquid fuel used is ethanol.
