High Pressure CO2 System

Introduction

The carbon dioxide extinguishing system is a fixed system to extinguish fire by smothering action with CO2.

It is a most effective system for protection of machinery spaces, paint store and cargo holds along with advantages ;

- As a fire extinguishing agent, CO2 is non-corrosive and causes no chemical reaction on metals, electrical insulations and oil, nor an mechanical damage to applied surfaces.

CO2 does not deteriorate with age and can therefore be stored for an indefinite time.

- CO2 leaves no residue to be cleaned up after extinguishment of fire.

Therefore the equipment that has not been damaged by fire can be re-used at once.

- NKs versatile and unigue actuating devices enable simple and reliable actuation of the carbon dioxide extinguishing system. By the use of copper tube for the control lines, the cost of the actuating system is extremely low.

- NK carbon dioxide extinguishing systems have been approved by principal countries governmental authorities and classification societies and equipped on over thousand ships.
