Army Dependency on ODS … In Weapon Systems and Equipment Is a READINESS ISSUE The Goal of the Army ODS Program Is to ELIMINATE ALL DEPENDENCY ON ODS – CLASS I AND II
Part 1 Ø What is the Ozone Layer? Ø Response to Concerns Ø Army Applications
What Is the Ozone Layer? Ø Ø Ø Stratospheric Ozone Discovery of Ozone Depletion Ozone Depleting Substances Typical ODS Do. D Share of Ozone Depletion
Ozone Layer Stratospheric Ozone Ø Oxygen radical (O 3 ) Ø Ground Level = Smog O O O Ø 30 x Concentration @ 12 -19 Miles • Reflects Harmful UV-B Radiation • “Cools” the Atmosphere
Ozone Layer 10, 000 ppb 98% UV-B 200 DU (1980) 75 DU (1995) 115 DU (2014)
Ozone Layer Discovery of Ozone Depletion Ø 1970 s -- CFCs Used as Tracers -- Study of Cl Rx w/Ozone Ø 1980 s -- CFCs Longevity in Air -- Ozone Column Ø 1990 s -- Direct Measurement -- “Ozone Holes” -- Computer Models -- Start of Public Outcry --
Ozone Layer CFCs Br. FCs OZON E DEPLETI NG HBr. FCs HCFCs. SUBSTANCE Fire Suppression Refrigeration/Air-Conditioning S Cleaning/Degreasing
Ozone Layer Typical ODS Ø Fire Suppressants: Halon 1211, Halon 1301 Ø Refrigerants (Class I): R-11, R-12, R-500, R-502 Ø Refrigerants (Class II): R-22, R-123 Ø Solvents (Class I): Methyl Chloroform, CFC-113 Ø Solvents (Class II): HCFC-141 b, HCFC-225
