The present invention relates to methods of using at least one fluoroketone selected from monobromoperfluoroketones, monohydromonobromoperfluoroketones, (perfluoroalkoxy)monobromoperfluoroketones, (fluoroalkoxy)monobromoperfluoroketones, and monochloromonobromoperfluoroketones for i) extinguishing fire by applying to the fire such a fluoroketone, ii) preventing fire in an air-containing enclosed area containing combustible materials by introducing into the area such a fluoroketone and maintaining the fluoroketone in an amount sufficient to suppress combustion of combustible materials in the enclosed area, and iii) reducing or eliminating the flammability of a flammable working fluid, by mixing between about 0.1 to about 99 percent by weight of such a fluoroketone with the flammable working fluid.
本发明涉及使用至少一种
氟酮,所选
氟酮包括单
溴全氟酮、单氢单
溴全氟酮、(
全氟烷氧基)单
溴全氟酮、(氟烷氧基)单
溴全氟酮和单
氯单
溴全氟酮的方法。该方法包括:i)通过将这种
氟酮施加到火源上来灭火;ii)通过将这种
氟酮引入含有易燃物质的充气封闭区域中,并保持足够数量的
氟酮以抑制封闭区域内易燃物质的燃烧来预防火灾;以及iii)通过将约0.1至约99重量%的这种
氟酮与易燃工作流体混合来减少或消除易燃工作流体的易燃性。
