Note:

This calculator determines the **Design Rate of CO₂** required for local application systems, ensuring effective fire suppression.

Parameters Used:

• Protected Volume (V): The space that requires CO₂ protection, measured in cubic meters (m³).
• Flow Rate (Q): The required CO₂ release per unit volume per second (kg/m³·s or L/s).
• Design Rate of CO₂: The total amount of CO₂ discharged per second based on the required coverage.

How It Works:

The **Design Rate of CO₂** is calculated by multiplying the **Protected Volume (V)** by the **Flow Rate (Q)**. This ensures the system releases the correct amount of CO₂ for fire suppression.

Why This Matters:

• Ensures the CO₂ system delivers the correct amount of gas efficiently.
• Prevents overuse of CO₂, optimizing costs and effectiveness.
• Maintains compliance with fire safety regulations.
• Prevents fire re-ignition by maintaining required CO₂ concentration.
• Improves fire suppression system design for optimal safety.
