CO2 Extinguishing System Design Guide

This document proposes an as-built plan amendment for Block F of a building complex owned by the Malaysian Public Works Department. It provides design details for carbon dioxide fire extinguishing systems for two rooms: 1. A control room measuring 16.6 sqm would be protected by 3 CO2 cylinders each containing 45kg of agent. 2. A transformer room of 10.6 sqm would be safeguarded by 2 cylinders of 45kg CO2 each. Pipe sizing and agent discharge quantities are calculated according to NFPA 12 standards for total flooding systems.
