The extinguishing effect of carbon dioxide is caused by the fast displacement of oxygen in the vicinity of the fire source and a high heat-retention capacity. Due to special extinguishing agent properties, carbon dioxide extinguishing systems are not only able to protect entire rooms, but also open facilities. Carbon dioxide is a natural component of ambient air and electrically non-conductive. Carbon dioxide extinguishing systems require little space for storing the extinguishing agent.
- Suitable for both, the protection of rooms and freelystanding objects
- Carbon dioxide is a natural component of ambient air and is therefore readily available
- Extinguishes without residue without adversely affecting the protected objects
- Chemical reactions as a result of extinguishing are virtually impossible
- The extinguishing agent is electrically nonconductive and therefore suitable for protecting electric system components
- The homogeneous distribution of extinguishing agent and the fast concentration buildup provide optimum effectiveness
- After a fire, there is no extinguishing agent residue and therefore no cleanup expense
- The extinguishing effect is ensured even at low ambient temperatures
- Reliable extinguishing provides maximum protection of assets
- The system technology for components has been tried and tested for decades
- The modular, multi-zone system can be easily adapted for most renovation or expansion measures
- Carbon dioxide extinguishing systems allow space-saving extinguishing agent storage, especially with low-pressure vessels
- After a fire, the extinguishing system is ready for operation again, at a low cost
- Approvals by certified test bodies and design compliance with national standards ensure acceptance by insurance companies and building authorities
- If installed, insurance companies grant rebates on fire and fire business interruption insurance
