Make safety a priority with an indirect high-pressure (IHP) CO2 system. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a colorless, odorless, electrically non-conductive gas that is highly effective at suppressing a wide variety of class A, B and C fires.
In areas with delicate electronic equipment, such as server rooms and data rooms, and storage areas with potentially combustible materials, sprinkler systems are not the ideal extinguishing agent. Typically, in those environments with valuable machinery and lots of people working you will find clean agent fire suppression system. These use manufactured, inert gasses to suppress fires. However, in areas with no building personnel like engine rooms, power stations, and around large industrial machines, CO2 fire suppression systems may be the most effective fire protection systems.
CO2 fire suppression systems can either be used in a total enclosure or in a local application. In the total enclosure, all of the CO2 is discharged into an enclosed space, flooding it completely. In a local application, the CO2 can be used to concentrate suppression on a single component or piece of equipment, such as an EDM Machine. CO2 is the only gaseous agent that can be applied locally in this way. CO2 can be stored in two ways::
- High-pressure spun steel cylinders (known as HPCO2 suppression systems)
- Low-pressure light wall refrigerated tanks (known as LPCO2 suppression systems)
Firetrace’s CO2 fire suppression system is highly versatile, available for use in a wide range of scenarios to suppress a variety of fire hazards, including total flooding and local fire protection applications. It relies on sensitive control panels to quickly detect fire before it spreads.
