CO2 Flooding System (CO2 Fire Suppression) in Bhopal

CO2 works two ways: it cools, and it brings the oxygen down until the fire goes out. It is colourless, odourless and electrically non conductive, and it clears by ventilation with nothing to clean up.

At the concentration needed to put out a fire, CO2 is dangerous to people. That is why CO2 systems protect enclosures and rooms where nobody works, and why a room system needs a countdown, warning signs at the doors and a lock-off for maintenance. For rooms where people work, choose a clean agent or inert gas system.

Kanex DHP, with 4.5 and 6.5 kg cylinders, runs its UL listed tube round the critical parts of panels, transformers and DG sets and discharges at the source. Kanex IHP uses nozzles for larger enclosures, panels, generators, CNC and EDM machines, with cylinders from 4.5 kg up to 45 kg. Ceasefire in-panel CO2 systems come in direct and indirect high pressure versions, and the HD Fire HD-RAKSHAK charges its detection tube with CO2 from the system cylinder. Kanex lists CCOE or PESO approved cylinders and gas to IS 15222.

For a whole room where nobody works, Ceasefire's inert gas range includes a CO2 total flooding option, designed with the room, the release panel and the safety measures together.

Keep a portable CO2 extinguisher beside every panel and DG set for a first response. Pick a size to compare every brand:

Direct or indirect: in a direct system the tube itself bursts at the fire and becomes the nozzle, which suits panels and small enclosures. An indirect system uses the tube only to detect and sends CO2 through nozzles, which suits larger enclosures and machines.

Size the cylinder to the volume: Kanex sizes its cylinders from 4.5 to 45 kg by design calculation, and we work this out on the site survey.

Keep people safe: CO2 only where nobody works, warning signs on every protected door, and a lock-off whenever someone works inside. We install, commission and refill the system and check it under an AMC.
