CO2 Fire Suppression Systems

CO2 fire suppression systems are preferred for protecting critical facilities because CO2 is fast-acting, adaptable to different hazards, and non-damaging to property. CO2 systems can be designed to simultaneously protect a variety of hazards and are used in applications like power generation, metal production, electronics, and more. CO2 is environmentally friendly, non-conductive, and effective on many flammable materials. A CO2 system consists of storage cylinders connected by piping to a manifold and nozzles to discharge CO2 into a protected area.

CO2 Fire Suppression Systems

CO2 systems are the preferred choice as an extinguishant for a multitude of critical facilities. Fast, efficient and adaptable to a wide range of hazards, the discharge of carbon dioxide [a low-cost clean agent] is non-damaging to property and electrically non-conductive. Multi-Hazard Protection can be designed to provide automatic, simultaneous discharge for a variety of hazards and configurations. CO2 systems are used for:

Power Generation Cement Plant/Blast Furnace Indirect Coal Firing Systems Metal Production and Processing Printing Automotive Electronics Operations Electronics/Computer Production Research Facilities Shipboard (Marine) Systems Automated Storage and Retrieval Facilities

Low-pressure CO2 systems and equipment are best suited for applications where large quantities of CO 2are needed. A highpressure system is recommended for smaller hazards or where space is limited. Benefits of CO2

Fast - Within seconds, CO2 penetrates the entire hazard areas to smother the combustion. Environmentally Friendly - CO2 exists as a gas in the earth's atmosphere and is one of the by-products of combustion. It's use has no environmental impact. Non-damaging - CO2 does not cause spoilage, requires no clean up and leaves no residue. Non-conductive - CO2 is electrically non-conductive, allowing use for a wide variety of special applications. Adaptive - CO2 is effective on a wide range of flammable and combustible materials.

A CO2 fire suppression system consists of one or more banks of cylinder storage containers to supply the CO 2 extinguishing agent. Flexible discharge hoses connect the cylinders into a piping manifold. The manifold distributes the agent into the piping network. Nozzles regulate the flow of CO2 into the protected area.
