🔍 Key Concepts

• Fixed CO₂ fire-extinguishing systems for machinery spaces and paint lockers • USCG/IMO safety limits on total CO₂ charge allowed inside the protected space • Why large quantities of CO₂ cylinders are usually placed in a separate CO₂ room rather than in the hazard area

💭 Think About

• Think about why it might be dangerous to store a very large amount of CO₂ inside the same space it protects. What could happen if there is damage or accidental discharge? • Compare the answer choices and consider which value seems like a conservative safety limit versus amounts that would be too large to safely keep inside a machinery space or paint locker. • Recall that regulations often set a relatively low maximum for hazardous agents in occupied spaces. Which of these numbers looks more like a regulatory cap than a normal system capacity?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify in the applicable fire protection regulations (46 CFR Subchapter I or equivalent) what maximum CO₂ charge (in pounds) is allowed within the protected space. • Check that the limit applies specifically to total CO₂ stored in that space, not the entire system if some cylinders are located remotely. • Confirm that larger CO₂ systems for machinery spaces are typically housed in a dedicated CO₂ storage room, not inside the machinery space itself.
