Dave,
This topic was discussed in detail on the Production Forum last year. I think a product called Cold Fire (?) was recommended there. I think the issue of Halon and death is that it can displace all the oxygen in an enclosed space and cause suffocation. The main purpose of a fire system is to buy the driver a little time to get unbuckled and out of the car. An actuator outside the car is much less important than one for the driver. Corner workers responding to a crash typically show up with a fire bottle in hand and the switch they are trained to look for is the electrical cutoff. Killing the electrics will stop the fuel pump from feeding a fire. |
