CO2 & Gas Suppression for EPC Projects

CO2 & Gas Suppression for EPC Projects

Procurement and engineering teams shortlisting a CO2 fire suppression system supplier or a gas fire suppression system manufacturer for an EPC-specified scope need the same three answers: what the container holds, how the system starts, and what arrives with the order. This page uses the supplied 70L 5.7MPa CO2 gas fire suppression system as the reference unit — agent quantity, storage and maximum operating pressures, activation paths, discharge time and operating temperature — so you can line those figures up against your specification before the request for quotation goes out.

Supplier Qualification Checklist

Vendor qualification usually fails on gaps rather than on price. These are the questions a technical buyer should put to any gas suppression vendor, with the answer the supplied CO2 system supports.

1

What is the storage pressure, and what is the maximum operating pressure?

Storage pressure is 5.7MPa at 20°C. Maximum operating pressure is 12.4MPa at 50°C. The first figure describes the container as supplied; the second is the design ceiling on the high-temperature side.

2

How is the system started, and will it integrate with our detection loop?

Three start paths: electromagnetic start at DC24V / ≤1.5A, mechanical emergency start, and manual start. The modular design is intended for integration with existing fire detection and alarm architectures.

3

How much agent is supplied, and what is the discharge time?

The container is 70L holding 42kg of CO2, with a stated discharge time of ≤60 seconds.

4

What operating temperature window does the unit tolerate?

The stated operating range is 0°C to +50°C, which is the window to compare against ambient conditions in the protected room and the cylinder location.

5

How is the agent deployed, and what does it leave behind?

Deployment is total flooding for enclosed spaces or local application for targeted discharge. CO2 is non-reactive and residue-free and dissipates quickly, so cleanup on equipment is minimal.

6

Who is in the room when the system discharges?

The product data states that CO2 is toxic to humans, and the system is for unmanned areas or requires safety measures in occupied spaces. Occupancy, egress and interlocks belong in the design decision, not in a footnote.

70L CO2 System Specification Deep-Dive

Everything below comes from the supplied product data for the 70L 5.7MPa CO2 gas fire suppression system. Treat it as the unit to size against, then confirm final quantities with the factory against your room data.

Two pressures, two questions

5.7MPa describes the stored condition at 20°C. 12.4MPa at 50°C is what downstream components must be planned for — check the room's summer ambient before fixing the pipework.

Control circuit load

Electromagnetic release draws DC24V at ≤1.5A. That figure sizes the control output you need from the panel or loop interface.

Fast, one-shot discharge

Discharge completes in ≤60 seconds. Egress arrangements, warning devices and interlocks should assume a near-immediate release after actuation.

Ambient window

The stated operating range of 0°C to +50°C applies to the equipment. Compare it with the coldest and hottest conditions your installation will actually see.

Safety note carried over from the product data

CO2 is toxic to humans. The system is intended for unmanned areas, or for occupied spaces only with safety measures in place. Plan detection, alarm, delay and egress provisions around that statement before the system is specified into a manned room.

Scenario to Specification: Where It Fits

The protected space type drives more of the specification than the agent choice does. Use the scenarios below to connect a room type to the system facts that decide the design, then confirm the detail with the factory.

Unmanned data halls

Why it fits

CO2 is residue-free and dissipates quickly, and the discharge time is ≤60 seconds.

Decide before you buy

Confirm the hall is normally unoccupied and that the DC24V / ≤1.5A release ties into the detection loop.

Electrical control rooms

Why it fits

Electrical fires are within the stated suitable-fire list, and three starting methods are available.

Decide before you buy

Use electromagnetic start from the panel, and keep manual and mechanical emergency release reachable outside the door.

Archives and paper storage

Why it fits

Deep-seated materials such as fabric and paper are covered, and the agent leaves no residue on records.

Decide before you buy

Total flooding needs a sound enclosure; check room tightness and keep the occupied-space safety plan current.

Industrial equipment rooms

Why it fits

The equipment is rated for 0°C to +50°C, covering most plant-room conditions.

Decide before you buy

Match the room's ambient extremes to that window and plan the high side around 12.4MPa at 50°C.

Warehouses and liquid risks

Why it fits

Liquid fires are covered, and gas fires are covered where the supply can be cut off.

Decide before you buy

Verify that the fuel or gas supply can be shut off, since the agent's stated coverage depends on it.

Machine and enclosure hazards

Why it fits

Local application discharges directly at the targeted hazard rather than flooding the whole room.

Decide before you buy

Use local application where the risk is one machine or enclosure; use total flooding where the whole room is the hazard.

How to use these scenarios in a scope review

Take the room list from the project drawings, assign each space to one scenario above, and note which specification fact decides it. Rooms where nobody can confirm occupancy or fuel shut-off should be flagged before an agent is chosen — those two answers change the design more than the container size does.

Where a scope mixes room types, the same 70L 5.7MPa CO2 container can serve total flooding in one space and a local application in another, provided each hazard is reviewed on its own terms.

Documentation to Specify in the RFQ

EPC submittals are usually held up by missing documents rather than missing hardware. Build the document list into the request so the response arrives against your requirements instead of a generic brochure set.

Container and pressure data

70L / 42kg agent, 5.7MPa storage at 20°C and 12.4MPa maximum operating at 50°C, stated in the format your reviewer expects.

Control and wiring information

Interface detail for the DC24V / ≤1.5A electromagnetic release, plus mechanical emergency and manual start provisions.

Layout and system drawings

Arrangement information for the container, release and distribution so the installer can coordinate with other trades.

Operation and maintenance manual

Handover material for the facility team covering normal condition, inspection points and the stated operating window.

Inspection and acceptance records

State the checks you want witnessed or documented at the factory, and the format your review file requires.

Packing and delivery documents

Request, do not assume

The document list above is the set to name explicitly in your enquiry. Requests are answered against the project scope, so include the standard or authority you are submitting to and the format the reviewer accepts — that avoids a second round of correspondence.

Send a Project RFQ That Arrives Pre-Qualified

A structured request shortens the quotation cycle. Include the items below so the first reply can be a scoped, priced quotation rather than a clarification message.

  • Facility or room type, and whether it is normally occupied
  • Agent preference (CO2, FM200, or open to recommendation)
  • Protected room volume and enclosure condition
  • Control voltage available for the release circuit
  • Quantity of containers or units per scope
  • Target delivery date and project milestones
  • Ambient temperature extremes at the installation
  • The document list and standard you are submitting to

Talk to the factory about your scope

Send the items on the left with your room data. Project enquiries, quantity requirements and documentation requests are all handled through the contact route, so one message covers the technical and commercial questions at the same time.

Frequently Asked Questions

what co2 system is covered on this page?

the supplied product is the 70l 5.7mpa co2 gas fire suppression system: a 70l agent container holding 42kg of co2, with a storage pressure of 5.7mpa at 20°c and a maximum operating pressure of 12.4mpa at 50°c.

why are storage pressure and maximum operating pressure different figures?

5.7mpa at 20°c describes the container as supplied. 12.4mpa at 50°c is the highest operating pressure to plan for, which is why the ambient temperature of the protected room matters when the installation is laid out.

how is the system started?

three start paths are stated: electromagnetic start at dc24v / ≤1.5a, mechanical emergency start, and manual start. the modular design is intended to integrate with existing fire detection and alarm systems.

what are the discharge time and operating temperature range?

the agent discharge time is ≤60 seconds and the operating temperature range is 0°c to +50°c.

can co2 be used in an occupied room?

the product data states that co2 is toxic to humans and that the system is for unmanned areas or requires safety measures in occupied spaces. occupancy, warning and egress provisions should be treated as part of the design decision.

what should i include in a project rfq?

send the facility or room type, agent preference, room volume, available control voltage, quantity, target delivery date and the document list your project requires. project enquiries are submitted through the contact page.
