CO2 Nozzles<br />

• LA Nozzles<br />

• All have “cone” to absorb<br />

discharge pressure<br />

• Reflected discharge from orifice<br />

• Less exit velocity (same flow rate)<br />

• Nozzle absorbs most 600psi<br />

discharge pressure<br />

• TF Nozzles<br />

• “V” Nozzle is “Vent” nozzle (TF)<br />

• Straight discharge from orifice<br />

• Full effects of ~600psi discharge<br />

pressure on tool (especially baths)<br />

• Much higher velocity<br />

Cause<br />

• Why Has This Happened?<br />

• <strong>Fire</strong> Protection has NOT Been Reviewed as Part of <strong>SEMI</strong> <strong>S2</strong><br />

Report.<br />

• <strong>Fire</strong> Protection has NOT Been Reviewed by Site <strong>Safety</strong><br />

Personnel (Product <strong>Safety</strong>).<br />

• Majority of Equipment CO2 Systems are NOT Reviewed by <strong>Fire</strong><br />

Department or Insurance.<br />

• 99% EHS Professionals Come from EHS, IH, Ergonmics, etc.<br />

Background<br />

• No <strong>Fire</strong> Protection Engineering or <strong>Fire</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> Background<br />

• <strong>Fire</strong> Protection is a Professional Engineering Discipline<br />

• Must have 3 rd Party Approval & Certification for <strong>Compliance</strong><br />

• CO2 & FWS Specialized <strong>Fire</strong> Suppression Application<br />

Solution<br />

• What is the Solution?<br />

• Verify <strong>SEMI</strong> <strong>S2</strong> Reports Include <strong>Fire</strong> Protection<br />

• Verify <strong>SEMI</strong> <strong>S2</strong> Reports are Completed by Qualified Personnel<br />

• Require Copies of <strong>Fire</strong> Design Package Documentation<br />

• OEM, 3 rd Party, <strong>Fire</strong> Contractor<br />

• Have <strong>Safety</strong> Personnel to Review Design & Reports<br />

• Property Insurance Carrier<br />

• Equipment <strong>Safety</strong> Personnel for <strong>Fire</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>Compliance</strong><br />

• Verify Insurance Agent Qualified to Review CO2/FWS Systems<br />

• Provide Training Corporate Level or at Site Level<br />
