Note:

This calculator determines the **Final Design Quantity (m_FD)** of CO₂ required for fire suppression, including adjustments for leakage, ventilation, and temperature extremes. The final design quantity ensures that the fire suppression system accounts for real-world conditions, providing an accurate and reliable amount of CO₂ for effective fire protection.

Fire suppression systems must account for various factors that can affect the performance of CO₂. These include:

• Leakage: Loss of CO₂ due to gaps or openings in the protected space.
• Ventilation: Airflow that can disperse CO₂, reducing its concentration.
• Temperature Extremes: High or low temperatures that can affect the behavior of CO₂.

Parameters Used

Modified Quantity (m_D): Measured in kilograms (kg) – the base amount of CO₂ required.

Leakage Adjustment (m_lo): Measured in kilograms (kg) – additional CO₂ to compensate for leaks.

Ventilation Adjustment (m_lv): Measured in kilograms (kg) – extra CO₂ needed due to airflow.

Temperature Adjustment (m_T): Measured in kilograms (kg) – compensates for CO₂ behavior changes due to temperature variations.

**How It Works:**

The final design quantity is calculated by adjusting the modified quantity for leakage, ventilation, and temperature extremes. These adjustments ensure that the system delivers the correct amount of CO₂ under real-world conditions.

Why This Matters:

Properly calculating the final design quantity ensures:

• Compliance with fire safety standards and regulations.
• Optimal use of CO₂, reducing waste and costs.
• Ensuring fire suppression effectiveness under real-world conditions.
