Engineered CO2 Systems

High Pressure CO2 (HP CO2) Fire Suppression System

The Kidde High Pressure Carbon Dioxide (HP CO2) Fire Suppression System is an advanced solution designed to protect industrial environments where flammable materials and vapors present significant fire hazards. This system is highly effective in rapidly suppressing fires in areas that require immediate action to prevent extensive damage.

HP CO2 System Installation

The Kidde HP CO2 System uses cutting-edge electric and/or pneumatic detection units, which are specifically engineered to detect fires at the earliest stages of ignition. Designed with precision for each unique hazard, the system operates automatically, ensuring instant detection and swift suppression when a fire is detected.

This system can be tailored for specific applications, offering flexibility in its installation and operation. It’s ideal for environments that demand quick response and highly effective fire protection.

The Kidde HP CO2 System suppresses fires through a combination of cooling and oxygen displacement, rapidly reducing the fire’s ability to sustain itself. Gaseous CO2 is discharged directly onto the fire, lowering the temperature and displacing oxygen, which prevents the fire from spreading.

The system’s discharge duration and agent flow rates are customized for each individual application to ensure optimal performance. Whether it's a small, localized fire hazard or a large, expansive area, the HP CO2 system is engineered to provide rapid and effective fire suppression tailored to your specific needs.

System Configurations & Application

The Kidde HP CO2 Fire Suppression System is an engineered solution that comes in three distinct configurations to suit various operational needs:

  • Total Flooding System: This configuration is used for unoccupied areas, where the system floods the entire room or space with CO2 to rapidly suppress a fire.
  • Local Application System: Designed to protect specific equipment or machinery, this system targets the fire at its source, providing efficient suppression without affecting the rest of the environment.
  • Hand-Hose Line System: This option offers flexible protection with a manual hose line, allowing users to direct CO2 where it's needed most.

Key Benefits of the HP CO2 Fire Suppression System

  • Fast and Efficient Suppression: Gaseous CO2 quickly extinguishes fires by cooling and displacing oxygen, ensuring rapid fire knockdown.
  • Automatic Activation: The system is designed to detect and suppress fires automatically, minimizing the risk of damage and loss.
  • Customizable Flow Rates: The system is engineered for flexibility, with customized discharge durations and agent flow rates for each unique application.
  • Versatile Application Configurations: Available in total flooding, local application, and hand-hose line options to suit different environments and hazards.
  • Highly Reliable Detection: Advanced detection technology ensures fires are caught in the earliest stages, preventing further damage and reducing risks to personnel.
