← ScienceWhich consequence results when rapid decompression of halon causes equipment failure?
A)Refrigeration weakens structural components✓
B)Halon expands creating turbulence
C)Cavitation erodes pump impellers
D)Ignition initiates a deflagration
💡 Explanation
Rapid decompression results in significant temperature drop because adiabatic expansion causes latent heat extraction. This leads to embrittlement of the structural components therefore weakening occurs rather than alternative impacts due to slow decompression.
