onto many industrial purposes,
the Co2 fire extinguishers are often used in class B and C fires involving flammable liquids and electrical circuits. (one of the chemicals that cannot cause electric shock or can suppress flammable liquids).

∙ 10y agoIt's a piece of fire-fighting equipment, containing liquid carbon-dioxide under pressure. When the device is triggered, the carbon-dioxide is released as a white vapour. Being heavier than air, it creates a 'blanket' over the fire, pushing out the air the fire needs to carry on burning. Without air, the fire is extinguished.

∙ 14y agoIt's what you can use to extinguish Class B--flammable liquid--and Class C--electrical--fires. They're not good for Class A--flammable solids like wood--fires because when the CO2 evaporates from the fire the fire can restart, and they're not approved for Class D--combustible metal--because some burning metals react with CO2 to make bigger fires! They're not really all that good in a commercial kitchen fire because they don't hold enough agent to completely blanket the fire, which is what you need to be able to do to put out a grease fire.

∙ 11y agoA CO2 extinguisher contains compressed CO2 gas.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoThis is because CO2 gas does not support combustion like O2(oxygen gas) does.
Kofi Boamah's law
CO2 + O2 = C

What fire extinguisher puts out a generator fire?
We are use the co2 as fire extinguisher
What fire extinguisher would you use on a petrol fire?
Foam, dry powder or CO2 gas- a Class B extinguisher
Proper fire extinguisher for a electrical fire?
ABC, BC or C. It is often best to disconnect the electrical power and use an extinguisher appropriate for whatever type of fuel happens to be burning (A or B). Do NOT use a water-type A fire extinguisher on an energized electrical fire.
How do you fight a electrical transformer fire?
Use either a dry powder extinguisher or CO2. NEVER use water !
Is co2 fire extinguisher still legal?
Yes.
Is CO2 flamable?
no it is not flammable. Its actually an fire extinguisher
What type of fire extinguisher should you use for an electrical fire?
It is the Class C fires that invlove electrically energized equipments, and they are suppressed using CO2 extinguishers or dry chemical extinguishers. Certainly the use of water or water-based extinguishers or other water-based suppression equipment is not to be considered.
What fire do use a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher on?
A CO2 fire extinguisher will work on flammable liquid and electrical fires only. If used on any other type of fire they will just give it more oxygen and it will spread.
How much ppm are there in co2 fire extinguisher?
It should be at least 99.5 percent CO2.
The best tool to extinguish a small gasoline or diesel fire?
A nice working fire extinguisher. Ussually they are red and hanging some where in the house. The ABC rated or the CO2 fire extinguisher works. DO NOT USE WATER!!
What fire extinguisher to use when a person is on fire?
Yes. But there are different kinds of fire extinguishers. If the person's clothing is on fire, you would use a water-type (Class A extinguisher). If they were covered in flammable liquid or gas (e.g., propane), you may need to use CO2. Do not spray CO2 near a person's face, to avoid them inhaling it and damaging their lungs. If you use CO2 on them for a prolonged period of time they may suffocate due to the lack of oxygen or if you are too close to them you may freeze their skin. Commonly known as CO2 burn, because it will feel like the skin is on fire when it is actually just the capillaries freezing, like frostbite.
What does this mean 95 percent CO2?
it means you are reading a fire extinguisher
