Managing safety in a place where there is too much hustle and bustle is a serious task. When there is a plethora of goods, people and machines in the same place, one cannot guarantee safety but can only implement safety features to be used in time of need. In constricted places such as multi storey buildings, factories, ships and other such areas, fighting fire can be most dangerous and troublesome. Since there are too many things around and people too, evacuating immediately is an impossibility. Hence it is best to have automatic fire suppression systems installed which could buy you time for the rescue teams to arrive and tackle the disaster.
The
CO2 & marine CO2 systems are one of the best fire suppression systems to be used in emergency. The power of carbon dioxide to wipe out flames instantly comes in very handy. As we all know that fire needs plenty of oxygen to gain strength and spread out, non availability of it will be effective in killing it. Carbon dioxide when used in fire suppression systems is enclosed in single skinned containers in the form of compressed liquid. The moment it is sprayed and touches normal air, it becomes gas but in the meantime, the sheer force that pushes it out lets it reach the floor. The moment it turns to gaseous farm, it vaporizes and leaves no residue. Since it is colorless, there are no marks on the floor or the surroundings too.
Since the gas is present inside single skinned containers, there is no way to see the contents inside by the naked eye. As the gas is used, it becomes lesser in the container and it needs to be refilled as soon as it is possible. But how much it needs to be refilled? This mystery can be solved by the
ultrasonic liquid level indicator. Its ability to sense liquids inside single skinned containers without the need to touch the contents makes it usable in such needs. The person in charge of the monitoring of the liquid levels can use the gadget and report the levels to the concerned authorities. It is up to them to decide if they need a recharge or they are willing to let be untouched and be used one more time. Having enough gas inside can do for one more time but with low levels it becomes essential for a refill.
