What is the advantage of carbon dioxide over soda acid extinguisher?
The primary advantage of carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers over soda acid extinguishers is their effectiveness in suppressing fires without leaving a residue. CO2 extinguishers displace oxygen, smothering the fire, while soda acid extinguishers can leave behind a corrosive substance that may damage sensitive equipment. Additionally, CO2 extinguishers are suitable for use on electrical fires, whereas soda acid extinguishers are not recommended for such situations. This makes CO2 extinguishers more versatile and safer for various fire types.
Do you use CO2 to extinguish Liquid Fire?
The CO2 or the dry Chemicals can be used to extinguish Liquid Fire, though other extinguishes can be used like halogen extinguishers, BUT the halogen is doesn't help as much as it harms, because it causes a toxic gas, and there is Foam extinguishers they come handy too.
What is MT when describing CO2 fire extinguisher?
It is just the nomenclature used in the models of fire extinguishers of certain Chinese company. MT is used to denote their CO2 fire extiguishers.
Is solid co2 used in fire extinguishers?
Yes, solid carbon dioxide (CO2), commonly known as dry ice, is used in some fire extinguishers, specifically those designed for electrical and flammable liquid fires. When the dry ice sublimates, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which displaces oxygen and helps to smother the fire. However, most fire extinguishers use liquid CO2, which is more effective for the intended purpose.
What is in fire extinguishers co2 hydrogen nitrogen or oxygen?
Usually CO2. Hydrogen and oxygen are fuels for fire. Nitrogen would work but is not usually used as it is too light.
Is there Any commercial use for liquid CO2?
Yes, hand held Fire Extinguishers for one.
Gas in fire extinguishers?
yes but it is depend on nature of gas whether it is flammable or not.... co2 is fire extinguisher gas widely used ....
How does a fire extinguishers stops a fire?
oxygen is a fuel necessary for flames to exist. when CO2 replaces the oxygen then the flame is unable to be present.
Why does carbon dioxide helps to make foam that firefighters use?
it is a non-flammable gas that is effective at starving a fire of oxygen. Like other fire extinguishers (foam and water) it is only recommended for fighting certain types of fire. more infromation and recommendations on their use should be available through the fire department.
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.
Can we use helium as Fire extinguisher?
No, helium is not used in fire extinguishers. We find carbon dioxide (CO2) in some extinguishers, but not helium.
On What common principle do all fire extinguishers work?
Depends of the type of fire extinguisher. Common CO2-extinguishers are filled with with compressed CO2. Once released it cooles down the fire below it's burning- or ignition-temperature and replaces the Air. The lack of oxigens will then suffocate the fire. No matter what type of extinguisher, it's always about cooling of suffocating the flame.
