The extinguishing of fires using carbon dioxide was developed by Kidde engineers over 80 years ago. Kidde Fire Protection have been responsible for every important development in this area of fire protection ever since. Accumulated experience gained through thousands of installations in power
plants, industrial plants, oil refineries, electronic processes, on ships and in a
wide variety of hazardous areas have given Kidde the benefit of plenty of knowledge in this field.
CO2 is versatile
The CO2 is stored as liquid, under
pressure. The liquid CO2 flows through discharge
pipework to specially designed
nozzles when a system is activated.
The liquid vaporises rapidly
during the discharge due to the agent's low boiling point. This results in a penetrative three-dimensional action.
Fires that have been burning in even
in the most inaccessible areas are not a problem, as the rapid expansion of the gaseous
agent allows fires to be targeted in these areas.
Fire is extinguished by reducing the
oxygen level in the risk area to the
point where combustion cannot be
sustained.
The secondary action of this agent is cooling. Cooling is
used in local applications where the
liquid phase of the discharge is
applied directly to the fire and risk
materials.
CO2 is fast and efficient
High mass
flow rates are achieved as the Kidde Fire Protection High
Pressure CO2 system uses large bore
cylinder valves.
The system reacts within the
first few seconds of a fire. This feature can
make the difference between a
nuisance and a disaster. The fast
action of the control system and valve
enables this to happen.
CO2 is clean
CO2 is one of the most familiar of all gases and is a colourless, odourless, dry, inert
gas.
Carbon Dioxide vapourises fully leaving no residue after extinguishing a fire. It is non-corrosive
and will not contaminate foodstuffs.
There is no mess after this product is deployed, there is nothing to clear up and no water damage.
Carbon Dioxide can be used
on energised electrical equipment as it is also non-conductive.

CO2 is low cost
There are many other uses for carbon dioxide, making it a standard
commercial product around the world.
Due to this, carbon dioxide can be obtained inexpensively, which is an important consideration when frequent
recharging of storage containers is
necessary.
Applications
Flammable liquid storage areas
Printing presses, flow solder
machines
Quench tanks/exhaust fume ducts
Paint spray booths
Fryers/ovens
EDP/computer rooms and floor
voids*
Commercial kitchens
Transformers
Generators
Please note CO2 is not the agent of choice for manned areas due to its toxicity at extinguishing concentrations.
