Note:

The Equivalent Orifice Area (A_eq) represents the size of the nozzle opening required to allow a specific discharge of CO₂ gas at a given rate. It ensures that the correct amount of CO₂ is released efficiently and effectively to suppress a fire.

Parameters Used:

• Flow Rate (Q): The volume of CO₂ flow per second (m³/s or L/s).
• Discharge Rate (W): The amount of CO₂ released per second (kg/s).

Why This Matters:

• Ensures proper nozzle sizing for CO₂ distribution.
• Optimizes system performance for effective fire suppression.
• Maintains compliance with fire safety standards.
