CO2 Fire Suppression Systems

CO2 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 CO2 are needed. A high pressure systems are 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.
