A HALON extinguisher system that can be discharged into the
engine compartment and/or cockpit would work very well. Cheap, simple and the
vapors are breathable. Randy
I've been interested in
these off and on. The argument against them has always been that
there's so much airflow through the cowl, that Halon might not be
effective. We still have Halon in some of the MRI suites, but those
systems are automated to close doors, and turn off any ventilation systems when
they're activated. I know these types of systems are used in race cars,
but I imagine they're usually activated after the car as come to a
halt.
I'd be interested to
hear some thoughts on this.
Thanks,
