We used CO2 on the Gas Turbines. Some of the Factory Mutual inspectors liked a concentration test! This meant dumping almost 3000 lbs of CO2 into the Gas Turbine compartments! Usually I could talk them into a function test using just 2 bottles. I would dump the first one to clean the lines, then reinstall the horns and dump bottle #2. A lot less dangerous as well, since CO2 smothers.
