Description
Potable Fire Extinguisher CO2 is a specialized and highly effective fire suppression device designed for tackling specific fire classes, primarily those involving flammable liquids) and energized electrical equipment . Unlike water or powder extinguishers, (Carbon Dioxide) extinguishes fires by displacing oxygen and cooling, without leaving any residue.
Features:
- Extinguishing Agent: Stored as a liquid under high pressure, it rapidly expands into a cold, non-combustible gas upon discharge.
- Residue-Free Operation: The primary advantage of is that it leaves absolutely no residue after use. This is vital for protecting sensitive equipment, minimizing cleanup time, and preventing corrosion or damage.
- Class B: Highly effective on fires involving flammable liquids like petrol, oils, solvents, and paints. It smothers the flames by cutting off the oxygen supply.
- Class C (Electrical): Perfect for fires involving live electrical equipment such as computers, servers, motors, appliances, and switchgear, as is a non-conductive gas.
- Sizes: Commonly available in portable sizes ranging from 2 kg to 5 kg, with 2 kg being popular for offices and small workshops, and 5 kg for larger offices, server rooms, and industrial areas.
- Operating Mechanism: A stored pressure unit. Operation involves pulling a safety pin and squeezing a lever. The agent is discharged through a specialized “horn” nozzle, which helps to focus and direct the gas cloud.
