Did you know
- The Unitor CO2 System is a high-pressure CO2 fire extinguishing system that has been supplied to numerous vessels worldwide. While a specific launch year for the "CO2 Fixed FF System" is not explicitly stated, fixed CO2 fire extinguishing systems have been a popular choice for marine applications for a considerable time, with SOLAS regulations addressing fixed fire extinguishing systems dating back to 1974.
- Within Unitor's fire suppression offerings, the CO2 System serves as a total flooding solution for enclosed spaces. It can be complemented by systems like the Unitor XFlow Local Application Fire Fighting System, which provides additional fire protection for engine rooms, or Unitor XFlow water mist systems for other areas. Another sibling model, the Unitor 1230 System, utilizes a clean agent as an environmentally friendly alternative to CO2, particularly suited for occupied areas and spaces where weight and installation space are critical.
- The Unitor CO2 System is chosen for its effectiveness as a total flooding system in enclosed spaces, its ease of installation and operation, and minimal maintenance requirements. It is a self-contained system that does not require electrical power, water, or machinery for gas release, and CO2 refills are available globally.
| Model | Extinguishing Agent | System Type | Environmental Impact | Residue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CO2 System | Carbon Dioxide (CO2) | High-pressure total flooding | Suffocates fire by reducing oxygen; no measurable impact on climate (ODP=0, GWP=1, atmospheric life 5 days for 1230 system, not CO2) | No residue |
| Unitor 1230 System | Novec 1230 (Clean Agent) | Total flooding | Environmentally friendly (ODP=0, GWP=1, atmospheric life 5 days) | No residue |
| Unitor XFlow Water Mist System | Water Mist | Low-pressure water mist (local application/total flooding) | Uses seawater, low power consumption | Minimal water damage and clean-up |
