This is the replacement option most similar in system design and function to Halon. The most common halocarbon for this use is FM200. Like Halon, FM200 is a liquefiable gas, stored in liquid form and only achieving its operating gas state when released at the dispersion point. FM200 extinguishes fires through a chemical reaction so the oxygen level in the facility remains at a breathable level. FM200 requires a relatively limited volume of stored liquid and is therefore the preferred choice where space is limited.
