Introduction

Carbon Dioxide Gas

Under normal atmospheric temperature and pressures, carbon dioxide exists as a colorless, odorless gas which is about 1.5 times heavier than air. Carbon dioxide will not burn or support combustion and will not sustain life. When confined within a suitable pressure vessel and depending on temperature and pressure conditions, carbon dioxide can exist in any of three stages of matter; solid, liquid and gas.

High Pressure Carbon Dioxide System

High pressure CO2 system is a specialized fire extinguishing system designed to maintain the carbon dioxide supply at 21º C and 850 psig in strength alloy steel cylinders. The cylinders contain the CO2 required to protect the largest single hazard. On large hazards where several cylinders are required, a manifold is used to connect each cylinder by means of flexible hoses and check valves. Cylinder valves control the CO2 flow to the hazard through properly sized pipe, terminating in nozzles that apply the CO2. Flow rate is controlled by nozzle orifices as well as pipe sizes. The cylinder master valves are electronically operated and the slave valves are pressure actuated. The master valves can be automatically and/or manually operated.

Online Weight Loss Indicator

Digital Weight Loss Indicator

Displays Actual Weight of Cylinder.
Displays Weight on day of installation.
Displays date of installation.
Display WEIGHT LOSS and Audio Visual Alarm Sound on loss of weight more than 10% (or required by relevant standards) of gas contents.

Mechanical Weight Loss Indicator

Green light remains on indicating full weight.
On weight loss of more than 10% (or as required relevant standards) of gas contents the balancing weight shall drop down triggering Audio Visual Alarm.
The Red light turns on indicating loss of weight.
