'''CO2 Fire Suppression System''' use intelligent, reliable and fast-acting control panels to quickly sense a fire before it can cause damage to property. Carbon dioxide or CO2 is a colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive gas...that's highly efficient as a fire suppression agent. Carbon dioxide gas has a high rate of expansion, which allows a CO2 fire protection system to work fast. | |||
When applied to a fire, CO2 provides a heavy blanket of gas that reduces the oxygen level to a point where combustion cannot occur. Since carbon dioxide is a gas, there is no clean-up associated with a CO2 fire suppression system discharge...that's minimal interruption to your business! In fact, the cost of clean-up and peripheral damage associated with water sprinkler systems, foam systems, and dry chemical agents can exceed the costs associated with the actual fire damage. With a Carbon Dioxide system, clean up costs and downtime associated with a CO2 discharge are negligible. | |||
Carbon Dioxide fire protection systems are available for use in total flooding or local fire protection applications - making it an effective fire protection system for a wide variety of hazards. | |||
==Benefits of CO2== | |||
• Fast - Within seconds, CO2 penetrates the entire hazard areas to smother the combustion. | |||
• Environmentally Friendly - CO2 exists as a gas in the earth's atmosphere and is one of the by-products of combustion. It's use has no environmental impact. | |||
• Non-damaging - CO2 does not cause spoilage, requires no clean up and leaves no residue. | |||
• Non-conductive - CO2 is electrically non-conductive, allowing use for a wide variety of special applications. | |||
• Adaptive - CO2 is effective on a wide range of flammable and combustible materials. | |||
