CO₂ Flooding System

Secure High-Risk Industrial Zones with CO₂ Flooding Fire Suppression Systems

A CO₂ flooding system is not meant for ordinary areas. It is built specifically for high-risk, high-value, and controlled-access fire zones, where flames can escalate into catastrophic damage within seconds.

A CO₂ Flooding System is ideal for:

• DG Rooms & Generator Sets
• Electrical Control Panels & Substations
• Engine Rooms & Pump Houses
• Machinery Enclosures & CNC Areas
• Paint Booths & Chemical Storage
• Industrial Warehouses with Flammable Materials

These areas contain fuel, oil, heat, high-voltage electricity, and combustible materials. Manual fire extinguishers are often ineffective in these conditions due to delayed reaction and limited discharge range. CO₂ flooding provides instant, total-area fire suppression, stopping the fire at its origin before it spreads.

What Is a CO₂ Flooding System?

A CO₂ Flooding System is a fixed fire suppression system that automatically releases carbon dioxide gas into a protected enclosure when a fire is detected. The CO₂ quickly displaces oxygen in the hazard zone, bringing the oxygen level below the point required for combustion. As a result, the fire is extinguished within seconds.

Unlike water, foam, or powder systems, CO₂ does not wet, corrode, or contaminate equipment. It leaves no residue, making it ideal for environments that contain costly machinery, control panels, electrical equipment, and sensitive instruments.

APS Fire Protection Solutions installs both:

• Total Flooding CO₂ Systems for entire sealed rooms
• Local Application CO₂ Systems for specific machines or enclosures

Each system is custom-designed based on room volume, fire load, risk type, and safety requirements.

How the CO₂ Flooding System Works

The CO₂ Flooding System operates through a precise sequence that ensures rapid and controlled fire suppression:

• Fire is detected through heat, flame, or detection tubing
• A signal activates the CO₂ release mechanism
• Pre-discharge alarms warn nearby personnel
• After a preset time delay, CO₂ is released rapidly
• The entire enclosure is flooded with gas
• Fire is extinguished by oxygen displacement

This fully automatic process ensures that fire is controlled even when no staff are present at the site.

Why CO₂ Is Used for Electrical & Machinery Fire Protection

Electrical rooms, generator sets, pump rooms, and industrial machinery require a suppression agent that does not create secondary damage. CO₂ is chosen because it delivers powerful suppression without damaging assets.

CO₂ Flooding Systems offer:

• Zero water damage
• No chemical residue or corrosion
• No harm to electrical circuits
• No contamination of precision machinery
• Quick post-fire system recovery

This makes CO₂ flooding one of the most effective fire suppression methods for industrial utilities and power-dependent operations.

Benefits of Installing a CO₂ Flooding Fire Suppression System

Businesses invest in CO₂ flooding systems because the benefits directly protect assets, operations, and safety.

Rapid Fire Suppression Within Seconds

CO₂ instantly reduces oxygen concentration, stopping fire growth almost immediately and preventing escalation.

No Water, No Foam, No Equipment Damage

CO₂ leaves no residue, no moisture, and no corrosion, protecting sensitive electrical and mechanical equipment.
