CO2 Fire Suppression Systems: Effective Protection Against Fire Hazards

Looking for an efficient and reliable solution to safeguard your property from fire hazards? Our CO2 fire suppression systems offer unparalleled protection, ensuring swift and effective response in the event of a fire emergency. We offer both High and Low Pressure CO2 systems.

Importance of CO2 Fire Suppression Systems

CO2 fire suppression systems play a critical role in fire protection by:

  • Quick Action: Rapidly suppressing fires, limiting damage and ensuring business continuity.
  • Electrically Non-Conductive: Safe for use in areas with electrical equipment, crucial for preserving critical infrastructure.

Benefits of CO2 Fire Suppression Systems

Implementing a CO2 fire suppression system provides numerous advantages, including:

  • Fast Suppression: Swiftly extinguishing Class B Flammable Liquid and Class C Augmented Electrical fires, minimizing downtime and financial losses.
  • Minimal Residue: Leaving behind no residue, ensuring quick cleanup and minimal damage to equipment.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications and industrial facilities

How CO2 Fire Suppression Systems Work

CO2 fire suppression systems operate by rapid cooling of  the fuel surface and displacing oxygen, thereby reducing the concentration of oxygen in the protected area, effectively extinguishing the fire. This method of suppression is particularly effective for Class B and Class C fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment.

Installation Process

Our expert team follows a meticulous process to ensure the seamless installation of CO2 fire suppression systems:

  • Site Evaluation: Assessing the property to determine the most effective system layout and coverage.
  • Customized Design: Tailoring the system to address specific fire risks and the layout of the protected area.
  • Professional Installation: Deploying the system with precision and expertise, adhering to industry standards and regulations.

Maintenance Requirements

Regular maintenance is crucial for the optimal performance of CO2 fire suppression systems. Our services encompass:

  • Routine Inspections: Periodic checks to verify system readiness and compliance with safety standards.
  • Component Servicing: Addressing any issues and maintaining system components for reliability.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring adherence to all relevant regulations and standards through diligent maintenance practices.

High Pressure CO2 Fire Suppression Systems

High pressure CO2 fire suppression systems are highly effective at extinguishing Class A, B and C fires. They can be used in total enclosures or for local applications. In total enclosure application, a space is flooded completely. For local application, it can be used to focus suppression on a single component or piece of equipment. CO2 is the only gaseous agent that can be used in these two ways. CO2 systems can only be used in spaces where there are no personnel, as it is harmful or fatal if inhaled.

Common Applications:

  • Engine rooms
  • Power stations
  • Industrial machine spaces

Benefits:

  • Effective
  • Fast-acting – penetrates all areas in seconds
  • No cleanup
  • Little to no downtime

Low Pressure CO2 Fire Suppression Systems

Low pressure fire suppression systems are ideal for non-occupied spaces that require large amounts of agent in a limited space. These systems can be used for local application or total flooding. The CO2 is stored in refrigerated tanks that keep the CO2 at zero degrees Fahrenheit and can be used for a variety of hazards. The tanks can hold several tons of agent and are ideal for large spaces.

Common Applications:

  • Power plants
  • Dip tanks
  • Flammable gas or liquid storage areas
  • Data Centers
  • Telecommunication centers
  • Shipboard machinery spaces and cargo holds

Benefits:

  • Effective
  • Efficient
  • Uniform
  • Predictable
  • No cleanup
  • Little to no downtime
  • Cost-effective
