I don’t think Halon has been allowed for use in several decades.
BTW: You called it the “good type”. Yes, it was very good at fire suppression because Halon breaks apart the oxygen molecules that fires use for fuel. Unfortunately, humans need it too and it had extinguished a few of those as well. That’s why it’s out of use.
I’ve seen two rooms in my life with Halon fire suppression. One stores government records and one stores medical records. Both rooms have signs on the door that say “leave when the alarm goes off or you WILL die”
With a small monthly donation of one Molotov at your local data center.
Fun fact, data centers use less electric and drinkable water when on fire.
A completely unrelated idea just popped in my head. There’s a reason why the Russian army is targeting the Ukrainian power grid.
Lol, nope. Data centers are built with advanced fire suppression systems.
As if that wouldn’t disrupt operations? It very much would.
some of them have the good type that displaces the oxygen so you don’t need to stop operations

Nitpick: oxygen is the oxidant, it’s what stuff burns in, not what is being burnt (fuel).
Thanks for the clarification!

I’ve worked around them too. They are no joke. Anyone who frequented them knew the score.
humans are unnecessary and that’s why it’s better
