Since the 1930's Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Systems have
been the standard for industrial applications of gaseous fire suppression
systems.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2) systems are:
- Effective: Carbon Dioxide is effective on a wide range of
flammable and combustible materials in both surface and deep-seated fires,
which adds up to greater uniformity and predictability.
- Versatile: Carbon Dioxide is well suited for a wide range of
applications:
- Power Generation Facilities
- Metals Production and Processing
- Large Scale Printing presses
- Electronics Production - Wet Benches and Wave Soldering Machinery
- Food Processing Facilities
- Automated Storage and Retrieval Facilities
- Computer Facility Underfloor Systems
- Safe for Equipment: Carbon Dioxide is safe for sensitive
equipment. Carbon Dioxide is colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive
and leaves no residue. Unlike conventional sprinkler systems or dry
chemical fire extinguishers, there is no messy clean-up.
- Safe for the Planet: Carbon Dioxide is a naturally occurring
compound found in our atmosphere. The Carbon Dioxide used in fire
protection is typically a by-product of other industrial processes, and as
such, does not negatively impact global warming.
- Fast Acting: Carbon Dioxide is a three-dimensional gaseous
agent. Within seconds it penetrates the entire hazard area to smother
combustion.
- Economical: Carbon Dioxide is a fairly inexpensive agent and
is available from many sources.
- Versatile: Carbon Dioxide Systems are available in two types
of storage methods: High Pressure Cylinders for small to medium-sized
applications and Low Pressure Skids for larger applications.
- Unsafe for People: At normal firefighting concentrations,
Carbon Dioxide is unsafe for occupation. If the facility is normally
occupied by personnel, consideration should be given to an FM-200
system.
