CARBON DIOXIDE GAS SUPPRESSION SYSTEM DESIGN CALCULATION

CO2 Gas Suppression System design calculation refer to NFPA 12 (1989 Editio n)-
Carbon Dioxide Requirements For Deep Seated Fire:

Project Title: CORETECH GMC SDN. BHD.

Room Name: N.U.R. Switchgear Room

Protected Room Details

Room Height: 9.38 m
Room Width: 7.82 m
Room Length: 25.00 m
Protected Room VOLUME: 1833.79 m3

Design Parameters
Design Concentration: 50%
Ambient Temperature: 30°C
Volume Factor for Total Flooding: 1.33 kg CO2/m3

Design Calculations
Thus,
Quantity of CO2 Gases Required
For Total Flooding of the Room: 1833.79 m3 x 1.33 kg CO2/m3 = 2438.941 kg

System Safety Factor: 10%

Total Required Gas: 2438.94 kg x 1.1 = 2682.835 kg

Total CO2 Cylinder Required: 2682.83 kg ÷ 45kg = 59.61855 Nos

Proposed CO2 Cylinders Quantiy: 60 Nos

Project Title: CORETECH GMC SDN. BHD.

Room Name: Consumer Switchgear, Transformer 1 & 2, MSB and Genset Room

Protected Room Details

Room Height: 3.76 m
Room Width: 6.50 m
Room Length: 17.60 m
Protected Room VOLUME: 430.144 m3

Design Parameters
Design Concentration: 50%
Ambient Temperature: 30°C
Volume Factor for Total Flooding: 1.33 kg CO2/m3

Design Calculations
Thus,
Quantity of CO2 Gases Required
For Total Flooding of the Room: 430.144 m3 x 1.33 kg CO2/m3 = 572.0915 kg

System Safety Factor: 10%

Total Required Gas: 572.092 kg x 1.1 = 629.3007 kg

Total CO2 Cylinder Required: 629.301 kg ÷ 45kg = 13.98446 Nos

Proposed CO2 Cylinders Quantiy: 14 Nos
