CLEANHalon 1301 is clean. It leaves no residue eliminatingcostly after-fire clean-up. When discharged, the 1301vaporizes as it enters the fire area via discharge nozzles.The agent diffuses into the surrounding atmospherewithout leaving a residue. Most materials (steel,stainless steel, aluminum, brass and other metals aswell as plastics, rubber and electronic components areunaffected by 1301. The "clean" quality of Halon 1301 isparticularly important in protecting expensive electronic,electrical, processing equipment and high valuematerials.COST ADVANTAGESSince less 1301 agent is required to extinguish a' firethan conventional gaseous agents, much less agentstorage space is required. Fewer cylinders can be usedand still provide maximum protection. Further designand cost advantages can be realized by using specialpiping, time delays and predischarge alarms resulting inlower system costs. Kidde design techniques permitmultiple zone protection from a single supply source.HALON 1301 FIRE EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMSKidde fire extinguishing systems are designed to detect,isolate and extinguish fires.There are five basic components in Kidde engineeredHalon 1301 fire protection systems regardless of type:detectors, controls, cylinders, piping and nozzles. Asystem consists of one or more cylinders storing theagent super-pressurized with nitrogen to 360 psig. Inmost cases, a pipe line is run to the hazard from thecylinders. If space permits, within the area beingprotected, a modular concept can be used (i.e. singlecylinders with one or two nozzles can be located aroundor within the periphery of the protected space).When more than one hazard is to be protected by thesame battery of cylinders, directional valves are installedto direct the gas automatically to the proper hazard. Atthe hazard, specially designed nozzles provide for theproper application of the 'Halon 1301.Automatic detection causes the contents of the cylindersto be released. When released, the stored pressure actsas the propellant to expel the Halon 1301 via thedistribution pipes through the system nozzles.
