CO₂ is an odorless, colorless, inert gas that extinguishes fire primarily by diluting the oxygen that supports combustion. It is applied by either the “total flooding” or “local application” method. CO₂ is not recommended for normally occupied spaces, except when other means of fire protection are not effective.

Total flooding delivers CO₂ into an enclosure until the fire is extinguished. For open hazards, the CO₂ local application method blankets the hazard extinguishing the flames and cooling the hazard.  In “total flooding”, the enclosure of the hazard protected is flooded to a proper concentration. In “local application”, CO₂ is directly applied in the proper amount at the rate required to cover the protected hazard.

We have the expertise and product line to protect a full range of hazards with vertical and horizontal storage tanks ranging from 2¾ ton to 60 ton and are available in 120, 220, 380, 460 and 575 volts, 50/60Hz, single and three phase variants. Optional CSA and PED approved systems are also available.
