High and low pressure CO2 fire suppression systems

  • CO₂ Fire Suppression System Design (High & Low Pressure)
    Custom-engineered systems for fast, total flooding or local application fire suppression using CO₂ gas.
  • Hazard Analysis & Risk-Based Area Evaluation
    Assess protected areas to determine whether high or low pressure CO₂ is more suitable based on fire load, enclosure type, and exposure risk.
  • System Sizing & Discharge Calculations
    Engineering of agent quantity, discharge time, nozzle placement, and pressure requirements per NFPA 12 standards.
  • Cylinder Storage & Distribution Design
    Layout of cylinder banks (high-pressure steel cylinders or low-pressure refrigerated tanks), piping networks, and discharge nozzles.
  • Detection & Control System Integration
    Integration of automatic detection systems, time delays, pneumatic/electric release mechanisms, and safety interlocks.
  • Occupant Safety Measures
    Design includes safety shut-offs, audible/visual alarms, discharge warnings, and manual abort stations for occupied spaces.
  • Full Technical Documentation
    Complete engineering packages including flow calculations, CAD drawings, component datasheets, and AHJ-ready submittals.
  • Site Survey & Fire Risk Assessment
    Analyze the fire hazard, occupancy classification, and enclosure characteristics to determine system type and design approach.
  • System Selection & Configuration
    Choose between high-pressure (ideal for smaller, quick-response applications) or low-pressure (best for large volume protection or frequent discharges).
  • Hydraulic Flow & Discharge Time Calculation
    Perform CO₂ discharge time, nozzle pressure, and flow rate calculations to ensure compliance with NFPA 12 and application effectiveness.
  • System Layout & Safety Planning
    Design the layout of agent storage, discharge piping, and safety devices — including alarms, warning signs, and personnel egress planning.
  • Control Panel & Detection Integration
    Coordinate fire detection logic, activation sequences, release mechanisms, and safety interlocks.
  • Documentation & Code Compliance
    Deliver detailed system design documents ready for contractor execution and authority approval, including test protocols and commissioning plans.
