[All CDCS Questions]

The temperature in the computer room is increased from 18 C (64 F) to 27 C (81 F). What is the impact on the amount of gas required to suppress a fire assuming a halocarbon agent?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Design concentrations for halocarbons (e.g., FM-200/HFC-227ea, Novec 1230) increase with ambient temperature; higher temperature higher minimum extinguishing concentration more agent mass.

I agree with Veronika. More heat could lead to more gas needed.

I’m leaning towards option D. Humidity plays a big role too.

I think the amount of gas required will be higher. Higher temps mean more energy.

B seems off, heat usually increases gas requirements.

I’m confused about the humidity part. Does that really affect how much gas we need? I thought it was just temperature.

This question seems similar to one we practiced where temperature changes impacted gas density. I think it could be A or D.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like we discussed how halocarbon agents are affected by temperature in class.

I remember something about gas behavior changing with temperature, so I think the amount of gas might increase.
