High pressure CO2 fire extinguishing system

Description:

A fire needs oxygen, fuel, and heat to continue to burn. By eliminating one of these three elements, a fire can be suppressed or extinguished. While some suppression agents reduce the heat of the fire, a CO2 fire suppression system eliminates the oxygen to suppress the fire. When the suppression system detects smoke or fire, it then releases the CO2 agent into the space it is protecting. The CO2 level in the space quickly increases as the oxygen level quickly drops causing the fire to be suppressed or extinguished.

CO2 is a colorless, odorless, and electrically non-conductive gas that leaves no residue behind. This means any sensitive equipment that is in the protected space is not damaged by the CO2, which reduces downtime and costs. Once the CO2 has dispersed to safe levels from the protected space, personnel can access any damage from the fire or smoke and quickly get back to work with no cleanup needed.

Components

Pipe network type of CO₂ automatic fire suppression system is mainly composed by three parts. Extinguishing devices and pipe fittings and electrical accessories.

Extinguishing devices are such things, like cylinder to fill and store CO₂, frame and driving device(nitrogen cylinder) to trigger the storage cylinder to discharge agent and so on.

Pipe fittings are those conduits to connect extinguishing device and guide agent into protective zone, like high pressure galvanized steel pipe and flange and elbow and so on.

Electrical accessories are those things which are used to detect and monitor whole protective area and control whole system, also warn people to evacuate and prevent from fire expansion.

These integrated three parts will be efficient to detect and supervise and alarm and extinguish fire automatically.

Applications:

Library and archives room, electronic computer room, electrical substation, telecommunication room, hangar, garage, marine engine room, cargo, paint-spraying room, boiler room, control center, etc.

It is suitable for putting out all kinds of the fires of flammable liquid and solid matter; gas fire in which power can be cut off before extinguishing the fire.
