Agent Calcs for CO2

Legacy "Generic" Flow Calcs for CO2

NOTICE: Agent Calcs for CO2 has been available for over 30 years.  The software includes major components which will not run on 64-bit WIndows systems.  Although workarounds, such as running a 32-bit emulator, may allow the software to function on the latest operating systems, one might consider the newer GSI HP CO2 software for good compatibility.  Click here for more information and screen shots of GSI HP CO2.

For over 30 years, Guardian Services has provided “generic” flow calculation software for high pressure CO2.  Generic software allows the user to quickly calculate pipe sizes for a pending carbon dioxide system installation. The software is also useful for assessing the feasibility of extending an existing system.

Guardian Services, Inc. and Hughes Associates, Inc. of Baltimore, MD. have teamed to produce AgentCalcs for CO2. It calculates pipe and nozzle sizes, flow rate, pressure drop and quantity of carbon dioxide discharged. AgentCalcs uses Guardian Services’ proven carbon dioxide flow calculation methodology with Hughes’ graphical interface and isometric drawing capability.

The AgentCalcs program is available in “OEM” versions and in a generic version. The essential results of agent quantity, flow rate, discharge time, and system pressure are identical for the OEM and generic versions. The OEM version is customized to use parts lists, stock numbers, etc. specific to the equipment manufacturer.
With AgentCalcs, authorities having jurisdiction, architects, and specifying engineers may have a calculation tool which mirrors the “official calculations” used by the major suppliers of carbon dioxide systems.  For final design and installation purposes, the calculations provided by the carbon dioxide system manufacturer should be used.  

A three year single station license for the new generic AgentCalcs software is available.  For pricing and to order, please contact Guardian Services, Inc.

GSI flow calculation theory is used by every major U.S. manufacturer of industrial carbon dioxide systems.

Marine Applications

AgentCalcs described above calculates systems with up to 99 cylinders. Some shipboard systems use in excess of 100 cylinders for protection of large spaces such as cargo holds. GSI has available a program which will calculate very large systems, up to 999 cylinders.
The program is based on NFPA 12 methodology and is thus suitable for land based systems as well as shipboard systems.

This new program will run on Windows platforms.
