CO2 Fire Suppression System:

CO2 Fire Suppression Systems are one among many fire suppression systems like foam-based fire suppression systems, FM 200 fire suppression systems, dry powder-based fire suppression systems, C02 fire suppression systems, and kitchen hood fire suppression systems. The main purpose of fire suppression systems is to suppress the fire.

 When a fire incident happens, it may result in huge damages and loss. The damage may be caused to precious human lives, important documents, irrecoverable data, and worthy buildings. The firefighting equipment is immediately accessible and can help you to respond to the fire outbreak instantly. So, keep the fire suppression systems in your buildings to fight quickly with the fire and suppress it.

Fire Safety Trading Pvt ltd is committed to providing fire safety equipment to their valued customers. We know how worthy human lives, buildings, documents, data, and the environment are, therefore, we provide all the safety equipment at our stores and online as well.

 Different types of fire suppression systems are available. The purpose of designing these various types of fire suppression systems is to assign the most suitable product for a particular fire class. The fire is differentiated into fire classes depending upon the objects involved in its burning. There are three components of fire, fuel is one of these three. The burning objects are called the fuel of fire. The three elements involved in the fire triangle, are:

1- Oxygen:

 Oxygen gas is a part of the fire triangle, it is a component of the fire triangle and readily available in the environment and atmosphere all around us. Human beings need it abundantly to stay alive as it helps in breathing, as well as the oxygen gas supports the fire to burn. If a fire occurs and oxygen is available to the fire in an adequate amount, it will result in a rapid spread of fire, and a huge damage can occur. 

On the other hand, if the oxygen gas is not available in the required amount, the fire will not spread. So, this is how oxygen is a component of the fire triangle that helps in burning.

2- Fuel:

 Fuel includes everything that can burn and can be considered a source of fire spread. All the things that are combustibles, can be considered the fuel in the fire triangle. 

Examples of fuel are wood, clothes, plastics, oil, paints, rubber, electrical equipment, etc. The fire transfers from one object to another and gets spread. In this way, fuel plays a primary role in increasing the fire.

3- The Ignition Source:

 Although oxygen and fuel are the reasons for fire spread, the ignition source is the actual reason for starting the fire. If there is no ignition source, the fire cannot take place.

 A huge fire hazard can take place if a small spark near the combustible objects happens. Hence, we can say that the Ignition source is the first thing that starts a fire.

Fire Classes:

 After knowing about the three components of the fire triangle, that combine and cause fire. Now if we talk about the fire classes, fire is classified into the classes based on fuel involved in the burning and spreading of fire. There are the following fire classes:

1- Class A Fire:

Fire in which the combustibles are organic solids like clothes, wood, paper, etc are classified as class A fire. These things are most common in the environment and class A fires can easily occur.

2- Class B Fires:

 The fires that involve the burning of flammable liquids are class B fires. These fires are extremely dangerous and spread rapidly if the fuel is present in abundant amounts.

3- Class C Fires:

 The fires caused due to flammable gases are regarded as class C fires.

4- Class D Fires:

 The fires in which the burning of the metals is involved fall in the category of class D fire.

5- Class F Fire:

 When fats are involved in a fire, the fire is known as a class F fire.

6- Electrical Fires:

 The electrical fires are caused by electrical equipment. In these fires the electric equipment may not burn itself but the fire may be started due to an electric spark.

7- Class K Fire:

 The fires that take place in the kitchen, especially in commercial kitchens fall in the category of class K fires.

 As we have seen there are different classes of fires, and all the classes involve the burning of different materials. So, a single fire extinguisher is not enough to extinguish all fire classes. Therefore, different types of fire suppression systems, for example, CO2 fire suppression systems, FM200 fire suppression systems, Halotron fire suppression systems, Water-type fire suppression systems, and dry chemical fire suppression systems, etc. Each is suitable for the specific fire class. 

Color Coding for Fire Suppression Systems:

Since there are different types of fire suppression systems, there must be a way to identify them. Although all the cylinders are colored red there is a label of different colors on each system for identifying it. In this way, it becomes easy to find the right one for you.

If we talk about the FM200 fire suppression system, it is suitable for suppressing the Class B fire.

CO2 Fire Suppression System:

CO2 fire suppression systems are a valuable type of security system against fire. When an Ignition source starts a fire, fuel, and oxygen support the fire to spread and grow. Oxygen and carbon dioxide both are gases, but their behavior is opposite to each other. Oxygen helps in the burning of fire and carbon dioxide helps in extinguishing it.

 As soon as the combustible material comes in contact with the oxygen the fire spreads, and the carbon dioxide cuts oxygen from the environment so that the fire can be suppressed. For this purpose, CO2 suppression systems are used that release carbon dioxide in greater quantities.

 The needs of the areas vary. Before the installation of such suppression systems, the needs must be accurately determined. After that suitable systems must be installed that provide the required pressure of the gas for extinguishing the fire in the particular area.

CO2 Fire Suppression System Features:

The CO2 fire suppression systems are widely used. These systems have many features that make them suitable for different environments. The features of CO2 suppression systems are mentioned below:

1- As compared to the clean agent gasses, the price of CO2 suppression systems is comparatively low, so they provide fire safety to the businesses at a lower price.

2- Carbon dioxide creates such an effect on the flames that they become lower instantly, ultimately suppressing them. And a cooling effect is also produced to avoid the reignition of the fire.

3- Not only is the installation cost of this system low but the cost of recharging is also low. The recharge is necessary once the systems are used or after a specific time interval.

4- When the carbon dioxide is released it creates a cloud and blurs the vision. So, it is important for the people to stay away

5- As these fire suppression systems use carbon dioxide gas as the fire extinguishing agent. There is no need for a clean up after the system has been used because the gas evaporates in the immediate environment.

6- The carbon dioxide can cause suffocation and trouble breathing.

7- The carbon dioxide coming out of the suppression system is extremely cold and it may cause frostbite.

Application of CO2 Fire Suppression System:

 Although the CO2 fire suppression systems are useful in many areas and places, make sure that human beings are not present there. Their applications include:

1-Engine rooms.

2- Cable storage facilities.

3- Power transmission areas.

4- Paint booths.

5- Flammable liquid storage facilities.

6- Industries.

7- Electrical rooms.

8- Control rooms where sensitive equipment has been placed.

9- Chambers with high voltage.

Conclusion:

The CO2 fire suppression system uses carbon dioxide gas as a fire extinguishing agent. The gas is highly effective in suppressing the fire and producing a cooling effect to avoid the reignition of the fire. The gas is condensed at high pressure for filling the suppression systems. 

The carbon dioxide fire suppression systems should not be used in the presence of people because they cause suffocation and blurry vision due to their cloudy appearance. Install these systems according to the required pressure for the particular area. They are available at lower prices than the other clean agent fire suppression systems.
