CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) Fire Protection Study for Hydrogenerators: Report of Findings

摘要

Large generating and pump-generating units are protected by automatic CO2 fire-protection systems. A review is made of the power industry control philosophy for CO2 discharge. Guidelines are given on ionization detectors, manual-electrical CO2 discharge, manual-mechanical CO2 discharge, electrical CO2 discharge control circuit, safety, and reliable operation.
