CO2 Fire suppression system
How CO2 Fire Protection Systems Work
CO₂ extinguishing systems are highly responsive: when a fire breaks out, the fire is extinguished automatically, without the need for human intervention, which reduces reaction time and thus limits fire damage.
Rotarex Firetec offers complete high-pressure carbon dioxide extinguishing systems to protect enclosed spaces such as offshore platforms or industrial production sites (RXCO2 System), as well as local applications such as electrical cabinets or CNC machines (FireDETEC System).
Why choose a CO2 fire extinguishing system?
The carbon dioxide total flooding system is perfectly suited to applications such as offshore platforms or industrial production sites. But also, for rooms containing sensitive equipment, as it is electrically non-conductive, there will be no risk of damage to your devices. The CO2 system can be also used in unoccupied enclosure such as CNC machines, electrical cabinets or fume hoods.
Benefits of Carbon Dioxide Fire Protection Systems
- Proven performance: Already used in thousands of installations worldwide.
- Flexible design: Efficient design for easy installation and maintenance.
- Environmentally friendly: 0% Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP).
- Efficiency: Fast discharge and effective suppression of class A, B & C fires
- Cylinder refilling with CO₂ is cost-effective and easily accessible with widespread filling stations
Available with Digital Measurement System
Rotarex provides a precise and reliable solution for monitoring CO₂ levels down to the percentage with its DIMES® measurement system. This advanced technology offers several key benefits:
- Enhanced safety and improved system readiness with accurate cylinder content indication
- 24/7 digital monitoring of CO₂ levels
- Proactive alerts for leaks or potential issues
- Eliminates the need for periodic cylinder dismantling and weighing
- Customizable alarm threshold settings for added flexibility

For total flooding applications, the RXCO2 system uses carbon dioxide
CO2 fire protection system
A fire extinguishing system using CO2 extinguishing agent extinguishes a fire very quickly by reducing the oxygen level in the room, preventing the fire from burning out.
CO2 is an effective extinguishing agent in unoccupied environments, for the protection of equipment in local application (CNC machine, Electrical Panel…) as well as for entire rooms (Offshore platform, Servers rooms,..).
CO₂ is an excellent extinguishing agent or many applications such as industrial production, offshore platforms, powder painting and coating rooms, etc. Fire suppression with our total flooding UL listed RXCO2 or our Firedetec local application system is highly effective and fast: in just a few seconds, the fire is extinguished. It offers a perfect combination of value/price ratio and low environmental impact.
Thanks to our DIMES system, a digital measurement system for liquid gases, you can know the exact content of your fire suppression system in real time.
