Co2 FLOODING SYSTEM

Co2 is a colorless gas with a density about 60% higher than that of dry air. Considered as best extinguishing gas. It suppress oxygen by eliminating heat, CO2 is most effective as a fire extinguishing agent.

NFPA -12 Rules and BIS 6382 Codes for the design of such system are used as standard for CO2 Extinguishing or flooding system. C02 gas generally stored in high pressure seamless steel cylinders is in liquid form with maximum filling ratio of 0.667 Kg/Ltr of cylinder volume. In order to the fire hazard CO2 cylinders Quantity varies. On large hazards where several cylinders are required a manifold issused to connect each other by means of flexible hose and check valve. The cylinder’s master valve is electronic all operated and the slave valve is pressure actuated. The master valve can be automatically or manually operated. Flow rate of CO2 is controlled
