The carbon dioxide extinguishing system is a fixed system to extinguish fire by smothering action with CO₂. It is a most effective system for protection of machinery spaces, paint store and cargo holds along with advantages:
As a fire extinguishing agent, CO₂ is non-corrosive and causes no chemical reaction on metals, electrical installations and oil, nor any mechanical damage to applied surfaces. CO₂ does not deteriorate with age and can therefore be stored for a indefinite time.
CO₂ leaves no residue to be cleaned up after extinguishment of fire. Therefore the equipment that has not been damaged by fire can be re-used at once.
