🔍 Key Concepts

• Fixed CO₂ fire extinguishing systems layout and components • Function of pilot cylinders versus the main CO₂ bank • How a time delay and release sequence protects personnel before flooding a space with CO₂

💭 Think About

• Think about whether pilot cylinders usually contain the main CO₂ used for firefighting, or if they do something that controls other cylinders. • Consider what needs to happen first before the full amount of CO₂ is released into a protected space—what role could pilot cylinders play in that sequence? • Ask yourself if pilot cylinders are more likely to be connected to detection of heat/smoke, or to the actuation of other cylinders or valves.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether pilot cylinders are smaller control bottles or the large main storage bottles. • Check if fixed CO₂ systems normally release all CO₂ at once, or if they are often arranged in banks or groups that can be released in sequence. • Confirm whether heat detection alone is usually enough to release CO₂ in machinery spaces, or if manual activation and time delays are standard to allow evacuation.
