[labnetwork] Fire Suppression for Gas Cabinets (HBr/BCl3/Cl2)

[Noah Clay]

Michael,

At Penn, these cabinets and VMBs have UV/IR sensors and are internally sprinkled.  This was mandated by our insurance underwriters.  It may open a can of worms, but I suggest inquiring with them; their requirements tend to supersede all else.

We have very limited experience dealing with these gasses and I am wondering if anyone can offer and advice with regards to best methods/practice for fire suppression in each of the cabinets.
