CO2 Fire Suppression System Installation — A Comprehensive Guide
Fire Disasters are one of the most painful and harmful disasters in persons. It causes a loss of billions of dollars and precious lives. Taking effective precautions and measures is a very crucial thing. At Rottguard Fire Systems Limited, they are on a mission to provide the best fire protection systems for small and unoccupied enclosures. There are so many systems available for fire protection i.e., Wet Chemical Fire suppression systems, Vehicle Dry chemical systems, Total Flooding CO2 Fire suppression systems, DLP systems, and much more. In this article, we deep dive into the CO2 Fire Suppression Installation system in detail. Stay tuned.
What Is CO2 Fire Suppression System
It is a system that is designed to extinguish or suppress the fire in a highly- sensitive environment. A highly sensitive environment where water is not a enough extinguishing agent. This suppression system is generally a commercial fire alarm installation system installed in server rooms, engine rooms, museums, data centers, and many more. As we discussed above, there are various suppression systems available to extinguish the fire. In data centers and server rooms, these systems are highly effective because their response time is very quick, and there is no need for human intervention. The most common areas where you will find these suppression systems are generator rooms, power stations, flammable liquid storage rooms, and many more.
How Does CO2 Fire Suppression System Extinguish Fire
The fire mechanism needs oxygen, fuel, and heat for survival. These components work together to continue the fire’s burn. If we eliminate one of these components, a fire can be extinguished or suppressed. There are many suppression agents available to reduce the fire, but a CO2 fire suppression system can cut off the oxygen to suppress the fire. The response time of the system is automatic and quick. When the suppression system detects the smoke, it automatically releases the CO2 Agent, which increases the CO2 Level in the space and decreases the Oxygen level very quickly. Result, the fire will be suppressed or extinguished.
When we talked about the nature of CO2, it is colorless, odorless, and doesn’t leave any traces behind. Sensitive equipment like data machines and large servers is downed and not damaged by the CO2 Suppression system. There is no cleanup needed after the suppression.
Advantages of CO2 Fire Suppression Systems
1) As we discussed above, this system has a very strong mechanism. It can suppress fire quickly and effectively. When the smoke is out, they detect early and quickly release CO2 agents, which secure the sensitive area. There is no cleanup needed after the suppression.
2) It is very cost-effective to purchase and for maintenance. The reason for the low cost is due to Sodium Bicarbonate (CO2 Product) which is cheaper.
Rottguard also deals in dry chemical fire suppression systems. For more information about CO2 suppression systems, visit their official website.
