The fixed CO2 fire fighting systems are usually used to extinguish engine room and cargo hold fires as well as protect critical systems. CO2 extinguishes fires by oxygen deprivation but is also dangerous to human health. The high pressure CO2 system consists of CO2 cylinders charged to 50-60 bar, distribution piping, zone valves, a pneumatic activation system with time delays for evacuation, and signaling devices. All safety precautions must be followed for the design, installation, and operation of CO2 fire suppression systems.

The fixed CO2 fire fighting systems are usually
used as the central systems for fire extinguishing in the engine room with the appertaining spaces, for the cargo holds, and as the local systems for the protection of the main engine, also for the smaller spaces and devices, such as paint store and galley hood. The CO2 extinguishes the fire by the efect of suffocation, so is the very reliable extinguishing agent, but also dangerous for life and health at the same time.
The CO2 high pressure system consistes of the
following essential parts:
- CO2 cylinders, each of 67 lit. volume, charged
with 45 kg of CO2, equiped with quick opening valves, and connected to the CO2 battery over the check valves, high pressure hoses and manifolds; the pressure in the cylinder amounts from 50 up to 60 bar, depending of the ambient temperature; - Main valve equiped with pneumatic cylinder, and lever for manual activation; - Zone valves with pneumatic cylinders, and Stabilni sustavi za gašenje požara pomoću CO2 se levers for manual activation; koriste kao centralni uređaji za gašenje brodskih - Pneumatic activation system, with cabinets strojarnica sa pripadajućim prostorijama, za gašenje equiped with necessary armatures and time u prostorima tereta, te kao lokalni sustavi za zaštitu delay devices - what is necessary because of glavnog motora, te manjih prostorija i uređaja kao the evacuation from thr protected space; skladišta boja i kuhinjske nape. CO2 gasi požar - Distribution pipelines; efektom gušenja, te je veoma pouzdano sredstvo za - CO2 nozzles; gašenje u zatvorenim prostorima, ali isto tako je - Signaling devices, acoustical and optical. opasan za zdravlje i život ljudi. Kod projektiranja, izvođenja i upotrebe se moraju previdjeti sve propisane mjere sigurnosti - predalarm, natpisi upozorenja, vremenska odgoda aktiviranja, obuka posade. Visokotlačni CO2 sustavi se sastoje od sljedećih bitnih dijelova: - CO2 boce, volumena po 67 lit., punjene po 45 kg CO2 i opremljene brzootvarajućim ventilima, te nepovratnim ventilima, visokotlačnim crijevima i sabirnim cjevovodima povezane u CO2 bateriju; pritisak u boci se ovisno o temperaturi kreće oko 50 do 60 bar; - Zonski ventili sa pneumatskim cilindrima i polugama za ručno aktiviranje; - Sustav pneumatskog aktiviranja, sa ormarima opremljenim potrebnom armaturom i uređajima za vremensku odgodu aktiviranja - što je potrebno radi pravovremene evakuacije ljudi iz štićenog prostora; - Razvodni cjevovodi; - CO2 mlaznice; - Signalni uređaji, akustični i optički.
