CO2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER IN PAKISTAN

 

Introduction:

A fire extinguisher is an active fire protection device used to extinguish or control small fires, often in emergency situations. It is not intended for use on an out-of-control fire, such as one which has reached the ceiling, endangers the user (i.e., no escape route, smoke, explosion hazard, etc.), or otherwise requires the expertise of a fire brigade. Typically, a fire extinguisher consists of a hand-held cylindrical pressure vessel containing an agent that can be discharged to extinguish a fire. Fire extinguishers manufactured with non-cylindrical pressure vessels also exist but are less common.

Fire extinguisher Usage:

The following four-step technique can be memorized more easily with the acronym PASS:

1.   Pull: Pull the pin to break the tamper seal.

2.   Aim: Aim low, pointing the nozzle or hose at the base of the fire. (Do not touch the horn on a CO2 extinguisher since it becomes very cold and can damage the skin.

3.   Squeeze: Squeeze the handle to release the extinguishing agent.

4.   Sweep: Sweep from side to side at the base of the fire – the fuel source – until the fire is extinguished.

CO2 Fire extinguisher

CO2 Fire Extinguisher can be used to extinguish fires caused by electrical equipment such as fire on electric circuits, electric boards, switches, wires, and other electronic equipment. It is also used in extinguishing Liquid Combustible Matters such as Petrol, Oils, paraffin, Greases, Ether, Alcohol, etc. Co2 Fire Extinguisher on trolley protects industrial fires containing dangerous chemicals and gases. CO2 Trolley Extinguisher does not leave a residue when disperses carbon dioxide.
It is very easy to move the trolley fire extinguisher as the trolley has 2 wheels, this is one of the good points that people take interest and buy it. Even a 15 years old child can move it to the required area.

PORTABLE CO2

• Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers
• Fires involving equipment such as computers, or generators (‘electrical’ fires)
• Fires involving some flammable liquids, such as petrol, diesel, and paint (‘class B’ fires)

 Don’t use for:
• Cooking fires involving oil and grease, such as chip pan fires (‘class F’ fires)

 

HOW TO IDENTIFY A CO2 FIRE EXTINGUISHER:

 

• BLACK colored label stating ‘CO2’
• The nozzle ends in a distinctive black ‘horn’
• Should be identified by an extinguisher ID sign fixed nearby – ‘CO2 Extinguisher’

 

HOW CO2 FIRE EXTINGUISHERS WORK:

 

CO2 fire extinguishers discharge CO2 gas, also known as carbon dioxide.  This is stored in the extinguisher as a liquid, and the gas is created under pressure when the handle of the extinguisher is squeezed.

This causes the CO2 gas to emerge at great speed, which is why CO2 fire extinguishers are not recommended for chip pan fires – they could literally blast the flames into surrounding areas.

Unlike water and foam extinguishers, CO2 fire extinguishers do not work by cooling the fire and so are ineffective on fires involving flammable solids.

Instead, CO2 extinguisher work by replacing the oxygen surrounding the flames with carbon dioxide, meaning the fire can no longer burn.
