A class of fire suppressant compounds which have labile bromine atoms bound to atoms other than carbon have been discovered to be more effective at suppressing fires than Halon 1211 and Halon 1301. Moreover, this class of fire suppressant compounds hydrolyze or oxidize rapidly in the troposphere and as a consequence thereof, they have minimal ozone depletion potential. |

A fire or explosion suppression system comprises a source (30) of a liquid suppressant under pressure, and a source (32) of an inert gas under pressure. The liquid suppressant is a chemical substance having a low environmental impact, with a short atmospheric lifetime of less than 30 days. The inert gas may be nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, neon or helium or mixtures of any two or more of them. The suppressant and the inert gas are fed under pressure to an output unit (34) comprising a mixing chamber in which the liquid and the gas impinge to produce a mist of the liquid suppressant of very small droplet size which is entrained in the pressurised gas together with vapour from the liquid, the so-entrained mist and vapour and the gas being discharged by a nozzle (44) into an area to be protected. The mist and vapour are therefore carried by the entraining and transporting high pressure gas into regions of the areas to be protected, enabling a total flooding capability. The inert gas also performs a fire or explosion suppressing capability. |

A process that changes normal atmospheric air into an effective breathable fire extinguisher. This process involves a unit that draws in normal atmospheric air and consumes a percentage of the oxygen from it. This process will be able to create this fire extinguishing air anywhere there's an abundance of normal air. This process will also be capable of leaving this air at an oxygen level that is considered to be breathable to mammalian life and more particularly human life. From 21% oxygen down to between 15% to 12% by volume. Making this process capable of creating fire extinguishing air, that remains breathable and won't cause any extra damage to personal effects. |
