CO2 systems have been a standard for many decades and are still preferred today for many applications. There are many fields in which the use of CO2 is preferable to other agents. For example: in cisterns, in industrial plants where fuels are poured, pump and motor rooms. Systems of local application are also common in the marine sector, above all in motor rooms. Total flux and low pressure systems are prevalent in the steel industry, in large printing-works, and in other applications where a large quantity of extinguishing agent is necessary. |
