Co2 Gas Based Suppression System
CO2 is most likely the gaseous extinguishing agent that has the greatest number of installations worldwide. SHOOTFIRE brand Carbon Dioxide fire protection systems use intelligent, reliable and fast-acting control panels to quickly sense a fire before it can cause damage to property. Carbon dioxide gas has a high rate of expansion, which allows a CO2 fire protection system to react quickly.
This system is unique. It is different from other fixed gaseous agent systems because it allows the local application. Its accumulated experience facilitates the engineering of a huge number of applications which have become standard today. CO2 fire suppression system is extremely versatile and effective on a wide range of flammable and combustible materials and approved for Class A, B and C hazards.
The amount of agent is calculated according to the size of the hazard. Its extinguishing mechanisms are due to the reduction of the oxygen concentration to below 15% and the cooling and absorption of the heat from the flame. We are the system integrator for Design, supply, Installation and commissioning of the CO2 system as per NFPA-12. This agent is intended for normally unoccupied areas.
Features & Benefits
- CO2 is an odorless, colourless, electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive, and non-deteriorating agent. It is normally present in the atmosphere at about 0.03% by volume.
- CO2 System consists of a fixed supply of CO2 converted through a piping network and nozzles.
- Total Flooding extinguishes both surface and deep-seated fires by discharging gas onto the enclosed space.
- Suitable for both, the protection of rooms and freely-standing objects.
- Carbon dioxide is a natural component of ambient air and is therefore readily available.
- Extinguishes without residue without adversely affecting the protected objects.
- Chemical reactions as a result of extinguishing are virtually impossible.
- The extinguishing agent is electrically non-conductive and therefore suitable for protecting electric system components.
- The homogeneous distribution of extinguishing agent and the fast concentration build-up provide optimum effectiveness.
- After a fire, there is no extinguishing agent residue and therefore no clean-up expense.
- The extinguishing effect is ensured even at low ambient temperatures.
- Reliable extinguishing provides maximum protection of assets.
- The system technology for components has been tried and tested for decades.
- The modular, multi-zone system can be easily adapted for most renovation or expansion measures.
- After a fire, the extinguishing system is ready for operation again, at a low cost.
- If installed, insurance companies grant rebates on fire and fire business interruption insurance.
Application Areas
- Power Generators
- Cement Plants
