CryoBlau is a well designed, multi functional and cost effective CO2 Fire Extinguishing System, gifted to the fire industry by the leading company SAFE Technology. CryoBlau Systems’ hardware are UL/ FM and VdS approved.
Specifications of CO2 Fire Extinguishing Systems
● Provides cooling effect by thermal shock application regarding to the fast discharge by gas phase.
● Puts flames out by disconnecting oxygen feed since it is 1.5 times heavier than air.
● It can be designed alternatively: either with a total flooding method for enclosed protected hazards, or with local application method for a specific zone or area.
Total flooding – this method enables the extinguishing agent to discharge in gas form to fill the complete volume of the protected hazard. Flames put out by decreasing the oxygen level.
Local application – this method enables the extinguishing agent to discharge in liquid form and creates a coverage area by the cooling effect of “dry ice”. Flames put out by decreaseing heat dramatically.
Advantages of CO2 fire extinguishing agent:
● Discharges within the protected hazards in seconds. Takes the fire under control before high cost of damage is created.
● In the total flooding method, CO2 vapors within the protected hazard and extinguishes fire immediately.
● Open hazard areas or partially closed areas where room integrity cannot be provided, local application method provides a liquid discharge form and “dry ice” provides immediate action of extinguishing.
● It is highly effective for protection of combustible material in A (deep seated) and B (surface) fire classes.
● Does not leave residue.
● Does not require difficult and high cost cleaning.
● It is not conductive.
● Does not harm organic material.
● Does not result in malfunction.
● Does not cause environmental effects under long term use.
● Uses less volume compared to the competitors.
● Provides fast installation and services.
● Can be supplied easily and within budget.
● Recognized by third party independent fire testing laboratories.

How does Cryo Blau CO2 extinguish?
CO2 is a colorless, odorless inert gas that extinguishes fire physically by reducing the oxygen level in the environment that supports the combustion.
At the same time, it cools the environment with the thermal shock effect that occurs during the rapid discharge while under pressure in the gaseous phase.
Since it is 1.5 times heavier than the air, it suppresses the oxygen in the protected hazard and puts the flames out by suffocating oxygen.
