CO2 Type Fire Extinguisher
Product Description
The CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) fire extinguisher is a highly effective firefighting tool designed to combat Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires. It operates by displacing oxygen in the vicinity of the fire, effectively suffocating the flames. The extinguisher is filled with carbon dioxide gas, which is stored in a liquid state under high pressure. When the extinguisher is activated, the CO2 is released, expanding rapidly and cooling the area around the fire. This type of extinguisher is particularly advantageous in environments where electrical equipment is present, as it leaves no residue and does not conduct electricity.
Uses
- Class B Fires: Effective against flammable liquids such as gasoline, oil, and paints.
- Class C Fires: Safe for use on electrical fires involving appliances, wiring, and circuit breakers.
- Laboratories and Workshops: Ideal for use in environments with sensitive equipment, as it does not leave any harmful residue.
- Commercial Kitchens: Useful for extinguishing fires caused by cooking oils and fats.
- Data Centers: Protects critical electronic equipment without causing damage.
