Fixed CO2 System

What Is A Fixed CO2 System

Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas has been widely used for a long time as a fire suppressant in various safety and industrial settings. This is because CO2 can quickly displace oxygen in the air, which helps stop a fire from spreading. Unlike other fire suppressants, such as water, which work by cooling a fire, a fixed CO2 system functions by removing oxygen, making it effective in stopping combustion.

Why Is CO2 Used

Carbon dioxide is the primary substance used in a CO2 flooding system for fire suppression.
It is a strong fire control agent that can be applied in many environments where fires may occur. CO2 expands rapidly, allowing it to act quickly during a fire. When released, it forms a dense layer of gas that reduces oxygen levels to a point where fire cannot continue. Since CO2 is a gas, there is no need for cleanup after the system is activated.

Where The Fixed CO2 System Is Used

CO2 fire suppression systems are commonly used in the following areas:

Data Centers and Server Rooms

Data centers require protection for sensitive electronic equipment from both fire and water damage. CO2 is an ideal choice because it suppresses fires without damaging electronic devices.

Power Generation Facilities

In power plants, electrical risks such as those caused by turbines and transformers are reduced using CO2. Its non-conductive properties make it safe for use in electrical environments.

Marine Vessels

On ships, CO2 systems are often installed in engine rooms and cargo holds, where space is limited, and other suppression methods may not be practical.

Industrial Manufacturing

Factories handling flammable materials and substances, such as chemical plants, use CO2 systems to quickly extinguish fires without contaminating products.

Automotive Paint Booths

In paint booths, where flammable materials are used, a fast-acting fire suppression method is essential. CO2 ensures rapid fire control without creating an unsafe environment.

Advantages Of Fixed CO2

• Fixed CO2 systems are ideal for protecting important assets.
• Since CO2 is a natural part of the air we breathe, it is easily available.
• It extinguishes fires without leaving any residue, which helps protect the objects being safeguarded.
• Being electrically non-conductive, it is suitable for use around electrical components.
• CO2 spreads quickly, providing fast and effective fire suppression.
• It functions well even in cold environments.
• The technology used in these systems has been tested and proven.
• Installing a CO2 system may also result in insurance rebates for fire and business interruption coverage.
