Fire Suppression Agent
Fire suppression agent is a substance or mixture that is used to extinguish or control fire. In aviation, fire suppression agents are used in fire extinguishers, fire suppression systems, and other fire protection equipment installed in aircraft. These agents can be in the form of liquids, gases, or powders, and are designed to quickly extinguish fires by cooling, smothering, or interrupting the chemical chain reaction of the fire. Common fire suppression agents used in aviation include water, carbon dioxide, halon, and foam. The selection of the appropriate fire suppression agent depends on the type of fire, the location of the fire, and the materials involved in the fire.
