Answer to Question 1

CO2 systems operate at considerably higher pressures. At room temperature the pressure of CO2 is approximately 913 psi. Just a small increase in temperature results in a significant rise in pressure. Systems need to be kept below 88F at all times in the event of a power outage. Systems must be designed to vent the CO2 directly outside to prevent personal injury in occupied spaces.

Answer to Question 2

The dimples are to allow for expansion on freezing.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
