Note:

This calculator helps determine the **Design Quantity of CO₂ (m_DQ)** needed for local application fire suppression systems. It calculates the total amount of CO₂ required by considering the **Rate of Discharge (W)**, **Discharge Time (t)**, and **High Pressure Efficiency Factor (E)**. This ensures that the system provides sufficient CO₂ for effective fire suppression while optimizing efficiency and compliance with safety standards.

Parameters Used:

• Rate of Discharge (W): The amount of CO₂ released per second (kg/s).
• Discharge Time (t): The total time over which CO₂ is released (seconds).
• High Pressure Efficiency Factor (E): A correction factor to account for system efficiency.

This ensures that the system delivers the correct total amount of CO₂ for effective fire suppression.

Why This Matters:

• Ensures adequate CO₂ is available for fire suppression.
• Helps maintain compliance with fire safety regulations.
• Optimizes efficiency, preventing over- or under-discharge.
