CO2 SUPPRESSION SYSTEMS

Speacific Hazard Dust Collectors


Length of the room ft
Step-1 Width of the room ft
Height of the room ft
Volume of the room ft3

QA, Basic Quantity of CO2 (Volume of space x flooding factor)


Volume of space 0 ft3
Design Consideration
Step-2 Flooding Factor
QA
CO2 requiremnts for 7 minutes (75% concentration)
CO2 requiremnts for 1 minutes (1% concentration) ft3 /lb CO2

(30% Basic concentration (Flooding factor-=0.042 lb/ft3,CO2)

Q1, Basic quantity of CO2


Volume of space
Step-3 Design Consideration
Flooding Factor ft3 /lb CO2
Q1 = Q1 X Material Conversion Factor lb of CO2

Unclosable Openings (2min for 30% concentration)


Length of the opening ft
Width of the opening ft
Area of the opening ft3
Step-4 Height ft (height from the ceiling to the middle of the opening
QL, Leakage rate ( for 30% concentration) lb CO2/min ft2
Duration min
CO2 loss due to opening lb of CO2 (1 X QLX 0.5 X Duration)
Q3 = Q2 X CO2 loss due to opening lb of CO2
Unstoppable Ventilation (2min for 30% concentration)
CO2 Vent loss
( volume of air moved during discharge
Discharge period min
period X flooding factor X material
Vent rate CFM
conversion factor )
Volume of air moved during discharge ft3
Step-5
Flooding factor ( for 30% concentration) lb CO2 /ft3
Material conversion factor
CO2 Vent loss lb of CO2

Q4 = Q3 X CO2 vent loss lb of CO2

Temperature
Normal temperature of enclosure °F
Step-6 Adjustment due to temperature lb of CO2

Q5 = Q4 + Adjustment due to temperature lb of CO2

CO2 requiremnts for 2 minutes (30% concentration) lb of CO2


CO2 requiremnts for 1 minutes (30% concentration) lb of CO2

TOTAL QUANTITY OF CO2 lb of CO2
