Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is an excellent fire suppression agent that has been used in the fire protection industry for many years and is listed under NFPA-12 Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishing Systems. CO2 is used across a variety of systems, including total flooding, local application, and inerting. It extinguishes fire by removing oxygen from the surrounding area; in local application systems, it also breaks the fire triangle by removing heat.

Due to safety considerations when using CO2, it is only used for very specific applications and not where hazards are occupied. Please consult our team with any questions regarding CO2. It can be supplied in high pressure and low pressure storage tanks.

As one of the major players in the power generation fire protection industry, it is not uncommon to supply a 6-ton storage tank for a turbine site. For many industrial applications, we supply high pressure CO2 cylinders along with the associated detection and control equipment required. If you would like to speak with us regarding CO2 fire suppression systems, please feel free to contact us.

A pipe network type CO2 automatic fire suppression system is mainly composed of three parts: extinguishing devices, pipe fittings, and electrical accessories.

• Extinguishing devices — components such as the cylinder used to fill and store CO2, the frame, and the driving device (nitrogen cylinder) that triggers the storage cylinder to discharge the agent.
• Pipe fittings — conduits that connect the extinguishing device and guide the agent into the protected zone, such as high pressure galvanized steel pipe, flanges, and elbows.
• Electrical accessories — devices used to detect and monitor the entire protected area and control the whole system, as well as to warn people to evacuate and prevent fire expansion.

These three integrated parts work together efficiently to detect, supervise, alarm, and extinguish fire automatically.

Suitable for a wide range of protected spaces, including:

• Library and archives rooms
• Electronic computer rooms
• Electrical substations
• Telecommunication rooms
• Hangars and garages
• Marine engine rooms and cargo holds
• Paint-spraying rooms and boiler rooms
• Control centers

The system is suitable for extinguishing all kinds of fires involving flammable liquids and solid matter, as well as gas fires in which power can be cut off before extinguishing the fire.
