CO2 Fire Suppression System
The CO2 fire suppression system by Poseidon is an advanced solution for industrial and commercial environments where fast and effective fire protection is critical. This CO2 fire extinguishing system utilizes CO2 as a clean agent, which is non-corrosive, residue-free, and ideal for sensitive equipment and high-value assets. Certified under UL 2127, FM 5600, and compliant with NFPA 12, this system ensures reliable protection for a wide range of fire hazards.
Available in high-pressure and piped network configurations, the Poseidon CO2 fire suppression system delivers rapid fire suppression by displacing oxygen in the protected area to a critical level below the combustion threshold. This total flooding method ensures efficient extinguishing for both localized and large-scale applications.
Detail
The Poseidon CO2 fire suppression system employs cutting-edge technology to suppress fires rapidly and effectively. When the system detects smoke or heat, CO2 is discharged into the protected space through precision-engineered discharge nozzles. This sudden release lowers the oxygen level in the area to below 12-15%, preventing combustion and allowing the fire to be extinguished in seconds.
This CO2 fire extinguishing system is particularly suitable for environments containing flammable liquids or sensitive electronics, as it leaves no residue and requires no post-discharge cleanup. Its scalable design supports both local applications and multi-zone protection, making it versatile for a variety of scenarios.
The CO2 system also supports the total flooding method, ensuring uniform CO2 distribution in the protected area, regardless of its size or complexity.
Compared to traditional systems, the Poseidon CO2 fire suppression systems excel in applications requiring fast, efficient, and safe extinguishing. The system’s residue-free operation ensures that sensitive environments, such as data centers or laboratories, remain operational shortly after fire suppression. Additionally, its adaptability allows it to be used for both local applications and large industrial facilities.
The CO2 fire extinguishing system also excels in environments where minimizing downtime is critical, providing effective fire suppression with minimal disruption to operations.
Poseidon’s CO2 fire suppression systems provide reliable and advanced fire protection for industrial and commercial applications. By utilizing CO2 as a clean agent, these systems ensure fast and effective fire suppression while preserving sensitive assets. Certified under UL and FM standards and compliant with NFPA 12, the CO2 fire extinguishing system delivers proven performance for safeguarding your most critical environments.
- High pressure storage cylinders filled with CO2 as the extinguishing agent, ensuring reliable performance.
- Multiple activation modes, including automatic, manual, and mechanical backup, to adapt to specific fire hazards.
- A robust safety system with pre-discharge alarms and evacuation delays to prioritize personnel safety in unoccupied areas.
Poseidon’s CO2 fire suppression systems are designed for critical industries and environments requiring reliable fire protection.
High-Pressure Systems:
- Data Centers and Server Rooms: Protect sensitive equipment while ensuring minimal downtime. For instance, a typical 2,000 sq. ft. data center achieves full suppression in 30 seconds using the CO2 fire suppression system.
- Chemical Laboratories: Suppresses fires involving flammable liquids, protecting both personnel and expensive equipment.
Piped Network Systems:
- Manufacturing Plants: Covers multi-zone facilities such as production lines and hazardous storage areas. For example, a 10,000 sq. ft. factory can be secured using this effective fire suppression system.
- Marine Applications: Provides fire safety in confined spaces like engine rooms and cargo holds, ensuring compliance with IMO SOLAS standards.
These CO2 systems are particularly effective in unoccupied areas, where fast and efficient fire suppression is crucial to minimize damage and operational interruptions.
