The carbon dioxide extinguishing system is most commonly used fixed system to extinguish fire by smothering action. It is a most effective system for protection for machinery spaces, pump rooms, electrical rooms, paint stores and cargo holds mainly for Container Vessels - Bulk Carriers - Multi-Purpose Vessels, Oil-Product / Chemical Tankers/ LNG-LPG gas tankers, Passenger / Cruise Vessels, Navy Vessels and Supply Vessels and tugs. High-pressure systems are recommended for smaller hazards or where space is limited.
The system consisting of a mobile supply of carbon dioxide, designed to be quickly moved into position and connected to a system of fixed piping, supplying fixed nozzles or hose lines or both that are designed for either total flooding or local application. Carbon dioxide is stored in pressure containers at ambient temperatures. At 70°f (21°c), the pressure in this type of storage is 850 psi (5860 kpa).
The Low-pressure carbon dioxide extinguishing system is most commonly used fixed system to extinguish fire by smothering action. It is a most effective system for protection for machinery spaces, pump rooms, electrical rooms, paint stores and cargo holds mainly for Ro-Ro/ PCC/ PCTC and Container Vessels - Bulk Carriers - Multi-Purpose Vessel. Low-pressure systems and equipment are best suited for applications where a large quantity of CO2 is needed.
The system consisting of a mobile supply of carbon dioxide, designed to be quickly moved into position and connected to a system of fixed piping, supplying fixed nozzles or hose lines or both that are designed for total flooding system. Carbon dioxide is stored in pressure containers at a controlled low temperature of 0°F (–18°C). At this temperature, the pressure in this type of storage is 300 psi (2068 kPa) throughout its life.
As a fire-extinguishing device, that subdues fires through suffocation and refrigeration using water mists can minimize the damages that are created during the fire extinguishing process.
This fire extinguishing equipment, a mechanism that installs smoke detecting system and automatic sprinkler fire extinguishing equipment at the same time by applying signal source and responsibility required by marine regulations, is an integrated system for fire sensing and active control of fire that consists of three major parts considering the benefits of reducing customer costs and more reliable installation.
