High pressure CO2 fire suppression systems are highly effective at extinguishing Class A, B and C fires. They can be used in total enclosures or for local applications. In total enclosure application, a space is flooded completely. For local application, it can be used to focus suppression on a single component or piece of equipment. CO2 is the only gaseous agent that can be used in these two ways. CO2 systems can only be used in spaces where there are no personnel, as it is harmful or fatal if inhaled.
