Product overview
The SIEX Low Pressure CO2 System uses refrigerated liquid carbon dioxide storage for large hazards requiring substantial agent quantities. The manufacturer identifies tank storage from 1 to 60 tonnes, at −20°C and 20 bar. The arrangement can serve total-flooding or local-application designs, with the tank and distribution network selected for the protected hazards.

Applications
Industrial and equipment hazards within the approved CO2 system design. Carbon dioxide can create a dangerous atmosphere; personnel exclusion, evacuation, alarms and other required safeguards must be addressed in the engineered installation.
Selection and project integration
Share the protected-space drawings, hazard description, equipment schedule and project specification with UDCT. The technical review should establish the selected system configuration, required quantity, installation constraints and interfaces with the detection and control equipment. For gaseous suppression, enclosure integrity, pressure relief, discharge acoustics and personnel safeguards must be assessed as part of the engineered design.
The published model designation is a product reference, not a final bill of materials. Agent quantities, pipe sizing, nozzle selection, storage arrangements and release logic depend on the approved design. Use the current manufacturer instructions for installation, testing and maintenance, and confirm availability with UDCT before procurement.
