CO2 System

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.

A CO2 fire suppression system consists of one or more banks of cylinder storage containers to supply the CO2 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.
