Custom Engineered Carbon Dioxide Fire Suppression Systems

Carbon Dioxide Fire Suppression Systems

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless, electrically non
conductive gas with an approximate density 50% greater than air. It
is stored in steel cylinders as a liquid, under pressure. When applied
to a fire, it provides a blanket of heavy gas that reduces the oxygen
content of the atmosphere to a point where combustion becomes
impossible. In addition, CO2 gas provides a cooling effect and
leaves no residue. It dissipates into the atmosphere, allowing for
rapid cleanup and minimal downtime.

There are both high pressure and low pressure CO2 fire protection
systems. Low pressure CO2 suppression systems are ideal for
covering large areas cost-effectively.

One of the main applications for Carbon Dioxide Systems is in
industrial processes where flammable liquids and vapors present a
potential fire hazard. Fires spread rapidly and become so intense
that many times they cannot be approached, let alone be
extinguished with the usual portable fire equipment. A "fixed CO2
system" designed specifically for the hazard and operated
automatically assured immediate detection and rapid suppression.
