What is Co2 flooding system

Question

Accepted Answer

CO2 flooding system is a fire suppression system that uses carbon dioxide gas to extinguish fires.

CO2 flooding system is commonly used in areas where water-based fire suppression systems are not suitable, such as electrical rooms, data centers, and engine rooms.
It works by releasing a high concentration of carbon dioxide gas into the protected area, displacing oxygen and suffocating the fire.
CO2 flooding systems are typically activated automatically by heat or smoke detectors, or manually by pulling a fire alarm.
The system requires proper ventilation to prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide gas, which can be harmful to humans.
CO2 flooding systems are effective for suppressing Class B (flammable liquids and gases) and Class C (electrical) fires.
Example: A CO2 flooding system may be installed in a server room to quickly extinguish a fire without damaging the sensitive electronic equipment.

Accepted Answer
