High Pressure CO2 Fire Suppression System | Automatic Fire Safety

High Pressure CO2 Fire Suppression Systems – Advanced Fire Protection by Fire Engineering Technology :

Introduction

At Fire Engineering Technology (FET), we specialize in providing advanced and reliable High Pressure Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Fire Suppression Systems engineered to safeguard industrial assets and ensure business continuity.

As a leading fire suppression system manufacturer in India, FET designs, manufactures, and installs complete CO2 systems in compliance with NFPA 12 and IS 15519 standards, ensuring safety, precision, and long-term reliability.

High Pressure CO2 systems are among the most trusted clean agent fire suppression technologies, effectively extinguishing fires by displacing oxygen and cooling the environment — all without causing damage to sensitive equipment or leaving any residue behind.


 About the CO2 Fire Suppression System

A High Pressure CO2 Fire Suppression System stores carbon dioxide in pressurized cylinders (approximately 850 psi or 58 bar at 21°C). When activated, CO2 is discharged rapidly through a nozzle network, suppressing the fire by oxygen displacement and thermal reduction.

CO2 systems are available in two configurations:

  • Total Flooding System: The gas is released to fill the entire enclosure, protecting all contents.

  • Local Application System: CO2 is directly applied to specific hazards such as machinery, conveyors, or turbines.

At FET, our systems are designed with precision engineering and custom-built configurations to meet the fire safety requirements of diverse industrial environments.


System Components Manufactured by FET

Our High Pressure CO2 Systems are built using UL-approved and NFPA-compliant components that ensure flawless performance and safety.

1. High Pressure CO2 Cylinders

  • Cylinders are manufactured from seamless steel and filled with liquid CO2 gas under high pressure.

  • Capacity ranges from 45 kg to 68 kg per cylinder.

  • Available as modular or manifolded systems for larger hazards.

2. Actuation Valves

  • Designed for fast, reliable discharge during automatic or manual activation.

  • Options include electric, pneumatic, or mechanical release mechanisms.

3. Manifold Assembly

  • Distributes CO2 gas uniformly through the pipeline network.

  • Precision-engineered manifolds ensure minimal pressure loss.

4. Discharge Nozzles

  • Custom-designed discharge nozzles ensure even CO2 dispersion.

  • Available in cone, fan, and directional types depending on hazard geometry.

5. Detection & Control Panel

  • Integrated with heat and smoke detection systems for automatic activation.

  • Includes delay timers, alarms, and abort switches to ensure safe operation.

6. Warning Devices

  • Flashing beacons and hooters warn personnel before gas discharge.

  • Vital for safety compliance in occupied zones.


 How the CO2 System Works

The CO2 suppression process relies on two scientific principles — oxygen displacement and heat absorption.

When a fire occurs:

  1. Sensors detect heat or smoke.

  2. The control panel activates the discharge valves.

  3. CO2 gas rapidly floods the protected space within 10–30 seconds.

  4. Oxygen concentration drops below 15%, extinguishing the fire instantly.

  5. The gas simultaneously absorbs heat, preventing re-ignition.

The entire process is automatic, fast, and residue-free, ensuring equipment safety and zero downtime.

 Applications of FET CO2 Fire Suppression Systems

FET’s CO2 systems are ideal for protecting critical and high-value industrial assets across multiple sectors:

  • Electrical Control Panels & Switchgear Rooms

  • Transformers and Generator Sets

  • Power Plants and Turbine Enclosures

  • Marine Engine Rooms & Cargo Holds

  • Manufacturing & Process Plants

  • Cable Tunnels & Substations

  • Server Rooms and Data Centers

  • CNC Machines & Hydraulic Systems

These systems are particularly suitable for Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires, where water or foam cannot be used.


 Advantages of Fire Engineering Technology CO2 Systems

  1. High-Speed Suppression

    • CO2 releases within seconds, extinguishing fire before it spreads.

  2. Clean Agent Technology

    • No residue, no corrosion, and no clean-up required.

  3. Zero Damage to Equipment

    • Non-conductive and safe for electronics and precision machinery.

  4. Environmentally Acceptable

    • Naturally occurring gas with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP = 0).

  5. Compact and Cost-Efficient

    • High storage pressure reduces the number of cylinders needed.

  6. NFPA-12 & IS 15519 Compliant

    • Designed and installed as per international safety standards.

  7. Fully Automatic Operation

    • Integrated detection and control systems ensure instant response.

 Safety Measures and Personnel Protection

At FET, safety is our top priority. CO2 systems must be installed and used carefully because the agent displaces oxygen. Hence, our systems incorporate:

  • Pre-discharge alarms and visual warnings

  • Time delay devices for safe evacuation

  • Manual abort switches to stop unwanted discharge

  • Post-discharge ventilation systems

  • Door interlocks and signage for confined areas

All FET CO2 systems undergo extensive safety testing and simulation checks before commissioning.


 Compliance and Certification

Our CO2 systems strictly adhere to the following international standards:

  • NFPA 12 – Carbon Dioxide Extinguishing Systems

  • IS 15519 – Indian Standard for CO2 Systems

  • UL / FM Approved Components

  • ISO 9001:2015 Certified Manufacturing Process

Each system is custom-designed, flow-calculated, and performance-tested for guaranteed compliance and operational safety.
