Carbon Dioxide(CO2) Gas, the fastest and most efficient extinguishing agent against fires in protected spaces, suffocates the fire within designated time and minimize the damage in protected spaces. The Fire Extinguishing System extinguishes the fire by means of CO2 gas. The system consists essentially of CO2 cylinders, main isolating valve(s), manifold, CO2 nozzles in compartment protected space, and pipe lines connecting these main parts.

The system is to be designed by the required discharging time, CO2 cylinders quantity and which are stored in a independent CO2 room. For further security in ship's cargo holds, a smoke detection system can be combined with the CO2 system. CO2 gas, the fastest and most efficient extinguishing agent against fires in protected spaces, suffocates the fire within designated time and minimize the damage in protected spaces.
