Description
What is a CO2 Extinguisher?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) extinguishers are designed to combat:
Class B Fires (Flammable Liquids): Fires involving fuels, solvents, oils, and paints.
Class E Fires (Electrical Equipment): Electrical fires caused by appliances, wiring, or server rooms.
Unlike powder or foam extinguishers, CO2 extinguishers leave no residue, making them ideal for areas where clean-up needs to be minimal and equipment must remain unharmed.
Key Features:
Residue-Free Fire Suppression: CO2 extinguishers release carbon dioxide gas that quickly suffocates the fire by displacing oxygen. The gas evaporates without leaving any residue, ensuring no damage to sensitive equipment or surfaces.
High-Pressure Discharge: The extinguisher releases CO2 under high pressure, providing immediate cooling and fire suppression. The cold discharge also helps prevent re-ignition of flames.
Non-Conductive and Safe for Electrical Fires: CO2 is non-conductive, making it safe for use on live electrical fires without the risk of electrocution.
Lightweight and Portable: Designed for easy handling, the portable CO2 extinguisher is lightweight and can be easily carried to different locations for quick fire response.
Durable, Corrosion-Resistant Cylinder: Built to last, the extinguisher features a durable, corrosion-resistant cylinder that ensures long-term reliability and performance in various environments.
Horn Nozzle for Targeted Discharge: Equipped with a specialized horn nozzle, the extinguisher delivers focused, precise CO2 discharge for effective control and suppression of the fire.
Applications:
Offices and Commercial Spaces: Ideal for protecting electrical equipment such as computers, servers, and appliances from fire without causing damage.
IT Rooms and Data Centers: Suitable for use in areas with delicate electronic devices, providing rapid fire suppression without harming sensitive components.
Industrial and Manufacturing Facilities: Essential for workshops and areas with machinery, electrical panels, and flammable liquids.
Marine Environments: CO2 extinguishers are also effective for use on boats or in marine settings where flammable liquid fires are a risk.
Why Choose a CO2 Extinguisher?
Clean and Effective: No powder, foam, or water mess to clean up, making it ideal for environments where cleanliness is crucial.
Safe for Electrical Fires: Non-conductive CO2 gas is safe to use on live electrical equipment, making it an essential fire safety tool in offices and industrial environments.
Instant Cooling and Suppression: The cold discharge and oxygen displacement rapidly suppress fires, providing quick and effective fire control.
