As we can see temperature drop is large. Heat transfer need repression measurement.I'm trying to understand necessity of freons vs use of plain air or CO2?
freons or CO2
Quote from: Bolvanfreons or CO2These were once used in fire extinguishing systems for computer rooms.The cold gas is useful for cooling flammable materials below their ignition temperature, which prevents the fire from spreading.But they also work because the relatively dense, non-flammable gas excludes oxygen from the flame, so the fire goes out.Today, many uses of freons are frowned upon; if they escape into the atmosphere they can break down the protective ozone layer in Earth's upper atmosphere.On one occasion I saw a tradesman welding in a computer room, which had set off the fire alarm. He was just seconds away from being blasted with CO2 snow when I shut off the alarm.
