Yes, portable dry chemical fire extinguishers are pressurized by means of nitrogen (expellant gas used to discharge the extinguishing agent from its container). Carbon dioxide can also be used as expellant gas. Usually carbon dioxide is used for temperatures ranges of 0oC to +49oC, and nitrogen for extreme temperature ranges of -54oC to +99oC.
