Second carbon dioxide extinguisher 6 kilograms

Fire Extinguisher with Carbon Dioxide The carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is the preferred extinguisher for electrical fires. Let us explain everything you need to know in our simple guide. Summary: Carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is primarily used for electrical fires and is often paired with foam fire extinguishers. The CO2 fire extinguisher is also known as: Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher The CO2 fire extinguisher is used for: Fires involving equipment such as computers or generators (electrical fires) Fires involving some flammable liquids, such as gasoline, diesel, and paint (Class B fires) The carbon dioxide extinguisher is not used for: Cooking fires involving oils and fats, such as potato chip fires (Class F fires) How to identify a CO2 fire extinguisher: A colored black label indicating "CO2" The nozzle ends with a distinctive black "horn" It should be recognized by the fire extinguisher identification label placed nearby — "Carbon Dioxide Extinguisher" Available sizes of CO2 fire extinguisher: 2 kg (most commonly used) 5 kg How a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher works: The carbon dioxide gas produced by the fire extinguisher, also known as carbon dioxide, is stored in the extinguisher as a liquid, and gas is generated under pressure when the handle is pressed. This causes the rapid appearance of carbon dioxide gas, which is why CO2 fire extinguishers are not recommended for potato chip fires — it is very easy to extinguish the surrounding flames. Unlike water and foam extinguishers, CO2 fire extinguishers do not cool the fire and are therefore ineffective for fires involving combustible solid materials. Instead, a CO2 extinguisher works by replacing the oxygen around the flame with carbon dioxide, meaning the fire can no longer ignite. Advantages and disadvantages of CO2 fire extinguishers: Advantages: Highly effective for electrical fires. It leaves no residue after use. Disadvantages: Less environmentally friendly than other types of fire extinguishers; it replaces oxygen in the air with carbon dioxide, posing a suffocation risk if used in confined spaces. Please refer to the following link for a full article explaining the proper use of fire extinguishers in confined spaces. Who needs a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher? A CO2 fire extinguisher should be standard in buildings at risk of live electrical fires, such as: Offices Shops Schools Hospitals The CO2 fire extinguisher is particularly suitable for offices with a lot of electrical office equipment. It is often recommended to use CO2 and foam extinguishers for this type of environment, as they cover most of the fire risks likely to be present in such buildings.
