E-CO2
The E-CO₂ Electrical Fire Extinguishing Control System is an advanced marine fire suppression control solution designed for the safe, reliable, and efficient release of CO₂ extinguishing agents in protected spaces onboard vessels and offshore installations. By replacing traditional mechanical and pneumatic release systems with electrically monitored control circuits, the E-CO₂ system simplifies installation, improves operational safety, and provides enhanced monitoring capabilities.
