🔍 Key Concepts

• CO₂ fixed firefighting systems uses and limitations • Differences between extinguishing vs. cooling a fire • Which fire classes (A, B, C, D, K) CO₂ is typically used on

💭 Think About

• Think about HOW CO₂ stops a fire: does it remove heat, remove oxygen, or remove fuel? • Consider what types of equipment or spaces on a vessel commonly use CO₂ systems. Would those involve flammable liquids or electrical gear? • Ask yourself: is there anything inherently unsafe or ‘disadvantageous’ about the pressure vessel itself, or is the key disadvantage about fire behavior after discharge?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which fire classes CO₂ is recommended for (especially liquid and electrical fires). • Check whether CO₂ lowers the temperature of burning materials as much as some other agents (like water or foam). • Confirm if the presence of a regulated pressure cylinder is really a disadvantage, or just a normal design/maintenance requirement.
