Fire Extinguisher CO2 5kg
A 5-kilogram carbon dioxide fire extinguisher is a small, hand-held, safety tool designed to hold 5 kilograms of pressurized carbon dioxide gas, which will extinguish fires by reducing oxygen levels in the area surrounding the fire and also cooling down that same area.
Fire Extinguisher CO2 5kg Features & How It Works
Clean Agent (No Residue): CO₂ is a gas that does not leave any residue such as water, dust, etc. behind. Therefore, you can use CO₂ to clean electronic devices that are either very expensive or fragile.
Unlike dry powder or water extinguishers, CO₂ extinguishers use high-pressure internally. They do not have a standard pressure gauge. The only way to tell if the extinguisher is ready for use is to weigh the cylinder.
The appearance of these devices is typically red with either a black label or band, and instead of a thin flexible hose/nozzle, they have a thick, solid black discharge horn.
What Fires It Is Used For
Class B Fires: Flammable liquids like petrol, diesel, paints, and solvents.
Electrical/Class E fires involve live electrical equipment, such as computers, servers, generators, switchboards, and laboratory machinery. These types of fires are also referred to as Class E fires. The reason why electrical/Class E fires are fought using CO₂ is because it is non-conductive.
Note: Do not use on Class A fires (wood, paper, textiles) or Class F (cooking oil), because the gas will probably not be cold enough to prevent the fire from starting up again.
Where It Is Commonly Used
Server rooms and data centers
Offices and commercial buildings
Laboratories and workshops
Electrical switch rooms and generator rooms
Important Safety Tips
Cold Burn: During operation, the discharge horn will become very cold. Do not make direct contact with the discharge horn to prevent cold burn/frostbite.
Asphyxiation Risk: Releasing CO₂ in closed spaces such as small rooms, tight spaces, or poorly ventilated spaces will cause the breathable oxygen to be displaced. You must leave the room immediately after using.
FAQs
What is a CO2 fire extinguisher?A CO2 fire extinguisher is a device which uses carbon dioxide (CO2) gas to extinguish fires. Carbon Dioxide extinguishes fires by removing the oxygen from the air around the flame. CO2 fire extinguishers are typically used for electrical and flammable liquid fires.
What does a 5 kg fire extinguisher cost?The cost of a 5 kg CO2 fire extinguisher can vary based upon the brand, quality and where you purchase it from. Please call Sensato Trade for the most current price.
What does a 2 kg CO2 fire extinguisher weigh? A 2 kg CO2 extinguisher contains 2 kilograms of CO2. However, its total weight will be greater than 2 kilograms due to the weight of the cylinder and valve.
What exactly is a CO2-type fire extinguisher? A CO2-type fire extinguisher uses carbon dioxide (CO2) to suppress fires and leave behind no residue from either powders or liquids.
What is CO2 in full name?CO2 stands for Carbon Dioxide.
What are the advantages of using an ABC fire extinguisher versus a CO2 fire extinguisher?ABC extinguishers can be used for most types of fires, such as those caused by wood, paper, liquid and electric sources. CO2 extinguishers are preferred for extinguishing electrical equipment and flammable liquid fires because they will not produce residue.
