Did you know
- Minimax has a long history in fire protection, with the company forming in 1903. The use of CO2 extinguishing systems by Minimax dates back to at least 1929, when SHF (which later merged with Minimax) was established to install CO2 systems.
- The MX CO2 system is part of Minimax's gas-based suppression systems, which also include Oxeo inert gas systems (using argon or nitrogen) and halocarbon extinguishing systems like the MX 1230 (using Novec™ 1230) and MX 200 (using HFC-227ea).
- The MX CO2 system is chosen for its quick and effective fire suppression by displacing oxygen and its high heat binding capacity, which enhances the extinguishing effect. It is particularly well-suited for high-risk areas where residue-free extinguishing is crucial and where objects with difficult access need protection.
| Model | Extinguishing Agent | Residue | Electrical Conductivity | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MX CO2 | Carbon Dioxide | No | Conductive | High-risk areas, areas with difficult access, paint robots, large turbines |
| MX 1230 Marine | Novec™ 1230 | No | Non-conductive | Rooms with electric and electronic equipment, computer/server rooms, data archives, telecommunications equipment, control rooms |
| MX 200 Marine | HFC-227ea | No | Non-conductive | Areas with electrical and electronic devices, sensitive assets, IT systems |
