I releases carbon dioxide (CO2) in bulk quantity toa protected space (such as engine room, carge hold, purer room, pump room, et.) under fre. Smothering action of COZ ‘extinguishes the fre thereby preventing spreading offre to other parts ofthe ship. It consist of soveral 602 eylndors lecated in a separate room, called CO2 room, These bolas contain CO? in liquid stato \When the fr in a protected space goes out of contal or ina situation when the fre is not able to ‘extinguish by local fre fighting media, CO? flooding system comes into picture.

Nooding system Is ‘manually eleased from a release cabinet located outside the protected space, Why C02 is used? Carbon oxi i the fre exinguising medium used in C02 floading system. tis an effective fre suppression agent applicable to wide range of fire hazards. Ithas a high rate of expansion which allows ito work fast. When applied to fre, CO2 provides a heavy blanket of gas that reduces the ‘oxygen level toa palnt where combustion cannot occur. Since carbon dioxide Isa gas, there Is no clean up associated with a system discharge. CO2, a compound of carbon and oxygen, is a colorless 85 which cause coughing to occur when inhaled. At higher concentrations itis acutely toxic. Low and high pressure C02 is used forthe fre protection of machinery spaces, pump rooms, cargo holds, paint stores and galley exhaust venation ducts on board ship. ‘There are several advantages for the COZ asa fr fighting medium, They are + Densityis 1.5 times higher than air. So CO2 settles down and displaces air. + Ican be easly iquefied and botied + 20% ~ 20% C02 concentration extinguishes fe by smothering + Non-corosive + Non- conductor of electricity + No residues lett after application + No deterioration with age Similan there are some disadvantages also, uch as + CO2is highly asshyxiating. 9% concentration causes unconsciousness within minutes + Very litle cooling effec.

A time delay of 60 lo 90 seconds giva sufficient ime for any personne in the protected space to escape, even after the operation of both valves in the release cabinet. 2.102 is released from main bots tothe common manifold before opening master valve, there ‘may be dificulty in opening master valve because of th bulk CO2 pressure acting on it. Because ofthe time delay, positive opening ofthe master vale is ensured before releasing CO2 43, Regulation per International Code for Fire Safely System (FSS Code) 2.1.8.2 says, "The pre- discharge alarm can be automatcally activated (e.g. by opening he release cabinet doer). The alarm shall operate fr the length of ime needed to evacuate the space, but in no case less than 20 seconds before the medium is released.” The time delay can be achieved In diferent ways. Out of these, two types of ime delay units commonly used in C02 flooding system on board ships. One is electrical ype, which has an AC 220 V Power supply, a pressure switch, ter and a solenoid valve as shown in the figure below. To coz HEAD ASSEMBLY FROM PILOT CYLINDER. Power source is alvays avalable forthe unt Solenoid vale is normally In closed postion. When CO2 from plat cylinder (CO2 release cabinet) reaches the time delay uni, the pressure acis on the pressure switch. This closes the pressure suite But the timer allows power supply ta the solenoid only after 60- {90 seconds, the timing can be adjusted as required. As soon as the speced time is reached, solenoid becomes energize and the solenoid valve wil open. This alow passage of C02 to the pressure ‘operated cylinder valve of main bottle. Normally a by pass valve Isao fited across this ime delay unit wich can be used incase the unit goes defective ‘Another type oftime delay unt uses an emp bot ited just before the head assembly. This empty bottle fils fst before supplying pressurised CO2 tothe head assembly. This is moce reliable since there sno electrical components involved.
