• Contrasting technology and efficacy Proven Technology
• Low refilling cost
• Local application or total flooding application
• Applicable to deep - seated fires
• No residue to clean up after the discharge
• Zero Ozone Depletion Potential
• Electrically non-conductive
• Excellent grade of risk penetration

At atmospheric pressures carbon dioxide (CO2) is

a colourless, odourless and non – conductive gas
capable of penetrating quickly and efficiently the
area to be protected. Its density is approximately
50% greater than the density of air. CO2 is stored
in high-pressure cylinders as liquefied gas.

CO2 has been used effectively for many years, not VdS
only in fire protection but also in other commercial Schadenverthutung
applications. Although the use of CO2 as Vertraven durch Sischerheit
extinguishing agent declined with the introduction
of halons, it is still widely used for fire protection,
specially since Montreal Protocol was introduced
(where bases were established to ban the use of
Halon extinguisher). Agencia Protección Contra

CO2 extinguishes fires by physical means according Interior
to two main mechanisms. The first one is by
decreasing the oxygen level inside the enclosure
from 21% to a level below 15%. Most fires are
unable to maintain combustion at such low levels.
The second mechanism is by means of cooling and
heat absorption. VNIIPO

When dealing with the protection of occupied areas,
consideration shall be given to the fact that if CO2
is inhaled, even in low concentrations, it may lead
to asphyxia. Under required safety precautions,
CO2 has been effectively applied for over 50 years
to protect areas such as transformer rooms,
archives, electrical hazards, record stores and
computer rooms. In some countries regulations
ban automatic control of CO2 systems for the
protection of occupied areas.
In other countries it is allowed, as long as the
system and protected area have the relevant safety
devices fitted. Physical Properties
