What Is a CO₂ Fire Suppression System?
A CO₂ fire suppression system can sense the earliest stages of a fire and works immediately to deprive the fire of oxygen by sucking all of the oxygen out of the room. This can effectively stop a fire in its tracks before it can cause extensive damage to your property or injure anyone. CO₂ fire suppression systems are effective in environments where a fire sprinkler system is not recommended, such as server rooms, engine rooms, data centers, generator rooms, power stations, museums, and flammable storage areas. CO₂ fire suppression systems use a few different types of fire suppression agents depending on the area they protect. They are typically used in areas that employees do not occupy and prevent the spread of fire to other areas that are occupied.
When and Why Do You Need a CO₂ Fire Suppression System?
All buildings need a comprehensive, effective fire suppression system to maintain employee and visitor safety, reduce the risk of fire, prevent fire damage and property damage, and prevent loss of property or equipment. You need to install a CO₂ fire suppression system if your business contains electronic equipment, flammable gas or liquid, delicate machinery, or anything else that would be damaged by a sprinkler system or other fire suppression or fire extinguishing method.
How Does a CO₂ Fire Suppression System Work?
A fire needs oxygen, fuel, and heat to grow and survive. Other fire extinguisher systems or fire protection systems use water or chemicals to smother or extinguish fires that have started. A CO₂ fire suppression system removes oxygen from the air rather than adding something to the environment. Removing part of the fire’s life force suppresses or extinguishes the fire. The fire suppression system is highly advanced and sensitive and detects smoke and fire at the earliest stages. The system quickly releases a CO₂ agent into the environment, which causes the oxygen level to drop rapidly, suppressing the fire. CO₂ is a colorless, odorless, and electrically non-conductive gas, leaving no residue behind. After the release of CO₂ and the suppression of the fire, the CO₂ disperses, and the air is safe to breathe again. Employees can then enter the space to evaluate fire damage and take necessary remediation measures.
CO₂ Fire Suppression System Installation
Our team will work closely with you to evaluate the size of your building, the equipment and property you need to protect, your risk of fire, and your existing fire protection measures. We will design a highly individualized CO₂ fire suppression system that offers maximum protection for each at-risk area of your building. CO₂ fire suppression system installation involves installing highly-pressurized cylinders or chambers of CO₂ in the room that needs protection. We will connect the cylinders to the air ducts via manifolds. The room must be properly sealed to prevent the escape of CO₂ into other rooms or areas. When the system senses or detects smoke or fire, it floods the room with CO₂ gas, and an alarm is sounded to warn employees and occupants.
Maintenance, Testing, Inspections, and Service
Our full-service fire protection company specializes in design, installation, testing, inspection, preventive maintenance, and service for all fire protection systems. After installing your system, we will review care, maintenance, and inspection and provide ongoing service and maintenance, including emergency service. We use state-of-the-art technology, advanced products, and equipment when designing and installing CO₂ fire suppression systems. We use a highly sensitive device called a CO₂ data logger to measure multiple gas concentrations and use fast and accurate sampling methods to evaluate and record CO₂ levels. Once installed, your CO₂ fire suppression system must be regularly tested and maintained to ensure it works properly for as long as possible. We can perform regular oxygen depletion tests to validate the absence of oxygen in the space and use a fixed CO₂ monitor to continuously measure CO₂ levels and prevent CO₂ leakage. These systems are fixed with an alarm system that goes off if any problems are detected.
