Safety Alert 05-09: High Pressure CO2 Fire Extinguisher Alert
The US Coast Guard issued a safety alert advising of a potential problem involving
certain ANSUL - High Pressure Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishing Systems. There have
been several instances where this system has discharged without human intervention.
The manufacturer has identified the suspect CO2 cylinder valves as those having a
date code between 10-07 and 06- 08. Owners, operators, and masters of ships having
such ANSUL systems should immediately check the dates on the CO2 cylinder valves
and notify ANSUL if the date code is within the suspect range.
