Abstract
The following research paper aims to study the discharge of Halon 1301 through a fire extinguishing cylinder of capacity 3.6 L and perform analysis for optimization of discharge. Halon 1301 is an effective fire extinguishing agent. Being of low toxicity, odourless, and colourless, it is extensively used in armoured cars and spacecraft applications. Major disadvantages are that it causes depletion of ozone layer and has a limit to human exposure concentration of 7% and below 15 min as concentration greater than 7–10% causes mild central nervous system effect such as dizziness, which limits its use to military purposes or in any other kind of major purposes. The following study uses the ANSYS software for analysis and simulation purpose and SolidWorks software for designing and 3D modelling of cylinder for determining optimal pressure for discharge. Similar simulation can also be done for Halon alternatives such as Hepta-Fluropropane, developed by the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology, Hyderabad.
