Superior Suppression
Carbon dioxide is a colorless, odorless, electrically-nonconductive gas whose density is approximately 50% greater than air. A Kidde HP CO2 System suppresses fire by providing a blanket of heavy gas that absorbs heat from the fire and reduces the oxygen content of the atmosphere to a point where combustion becomes impossible.
Damage-Free
A naturally-occurring atmospheric element, carbon dioxide dissipates into the air allowing an almost immediate return to “business as usual” without the interruption of a costly clean-up and the expense of damage to assets from suppressant residue. This results in fewer repair costs and reduced downtime.
Design Versatility
Because carbon dioxide is an ideal suppressant for a wide variety of industrial applications, Kidde offers three system configurations to efficiently protect different hazard types: Total Flooding, ideal for enclosed hazard areas, Local Application, used to protect a specified hazard area in an open floor plan, or a Local Hose Line, cost effective protection for fighting smaller fires throughout a hazard.
