Fire Suppression System CO2

Carbon Dioxide constitutes a colorless, odorless, and inert gas. During usage, no damage is provoked (contrary to Water or Dry Powder, the use of which can cause important damage to equipment), it is a safe agent for the majority of materials, non–hazardous for food, non–corrosive, and non – conductive.

It evaporates completely a few seconds after the extinguishing procedure and leaves no traces. Consequently, it can be used without risk to various spaces containing electrical and electronic devices, precious artworks, paintings or manuscripts, flammable liquid warehouses, electric substations, kilns, and ovens.

The use of CO2 must be avoided in spaces where humans or animals are because of its provoking suffocating conditions.

The three-dimension use of CO2 means that it can extinguish fires in vertical and horizontal directions. Its fast diffusion constitutes the key to a successful extinguishment since it can penetrate through a break in a wall to all secret and remote places regardless of the obstacles. Carbon Dioxide constitutes a stable commercial product with many other applications and is widely used worldwide. CO2

Fire Suppression Systems can be automatically or manually activated, while the activation can be effected mechanically, pneumatically, electrically, or from another combination of the above depending on existing conditions. CO2 is stored in normal temperature conditions in steel Cylinders. Multiple Cylinder Batteries can be applied to specific under-protected areas.

Description

A Common Suppression System Consists of the following:

Steel High-Pressure Cylinders, seamless and of various capacities, electrostatically painted red with a grey neck. Cylinders are certified according to 99/36/EC and EN 1964-1 (π).

System Valves pneumatically – manually or electrically activated with the potential use of a fuse. Depending on the user’s needs, an electrically activated solenoid valve can be used.

Steel Pilot Cylinder 3Lt capacity, containing Nitrogen, with manually fuse activated valve or electrically activated valve depending on the user’s requirements (Pilot Cylinder is used in case of a battery of more than two cylinders). The cylinder is CE Certified according to 97/23/EC by TUV (CE0036).

High-Pressure Collector, 300bar, Galvanized, its diameter varies from 1¼” to 3”, with ¾” inlet and outlet varying from ¾” to 3”. Non-return valves ¾” – ¾”.

Also provided: Cylinder Bracket, High-Pressure Flexible Hoses for connecting the cylinders and to the collector, and various types of Nozzles.
