CO2 Applications
CO₂ fire suppression systems can be deployed in two ways:
- In a total flooding application, where CO₂ is released into an enclosed space, saturating the entire area to suppress the fire.
- In a local application, where the gas is directed at a specific component or piece of equipment—such as an EDM machine—providing targeted protection without the need to flood the entire room.
This flexibility makes CO₂ suitable for both room-scale and equipment-specific fire risks.
Our CO₂ systems are commonly used in:
- CNC machines & Electrical discharge machines (EDM)
- Industrial ovens and furnaces
- Dust and fume collectors
- Laboratory fume hoods (with proper airflow calculations)
How the System Works:
- Our CO₂ fire suppression system uses heat-sensitive detection tubing that automatically responds to a fire. When a fire starts, the tubing detects the heat and bursts at the hottest point, triggering a rapid depressurization that releases CO₂.
- The system rapidly discharges gas to either flood an entire enclosure (total flood) or directly target specific equipment (local application), depending on the use case.
- This lowers the level of oxygen below the combustion point, effectively suppressing the fire.
