What else can I help you with?
Why should you not touch the horn or connecting pipe when using a carbon dioxide extinguisher?
You should not touch the horn or connecting pipe of a carbon dioxide extinguisher because they can become extremely cold during operation due to the rapid expansion of CO2 gas. This can cause frostbite or skin damage upon contact. Additionally, the horn can discharge CO2 at high velocity, posing a risk of injury if mishandled. Always handle the extinguisher by its body and use the handle to aim the nozzle safely.
What is a CO2 extinguisher discharge temperature?
CO2 is delivered at the horn output at approximately -130 degrees F.
Which type of extinguisher has a hard horn on the end of a flexible hose or metal arm?
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide)
What is the maximum effective range of a 15-pound Co2 extinguisher from the outer end of the horn?
The maximum effective range of a 15-pound CO2 extinguisher is typically around 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3 meters) from the outer end of the horn. This distance allows for effective application of the CO2 gas to smother fires. However, optimal performance is achieved closer to the fire source, as the extinguisher's effectiveness decreases with distance. Always ensure to aim the horn at the base of the fire for the best results.
What fire extinguisher puts out a generator fire?
We are use the co2 as fire extinguisher
Why does a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher have a hard horn at the hose?
A carbon dioxide fire extinguisher has a hard horn at the hose to direct the flow of CO2 effectively and prevent the user from getting too close to the fire. The hard horn helps to contain the high-pressure gas, allowing for a more precise application while minimizing the risk of frostbite from the cold CO2. Additionally, the design helps to focus the discharge on the base of the fire, where it can displace oxygen and extinguish the flames more efficiently.
What will happen if you remove syphon tube from the CO2 fire extinguisher?
If you remove the siphon tube from a CO2 fire extinguisher, the extinguisher will not work properly. The siphon tube is responsible for drawing and releasing the CO2 gas from the extinguisher. Without it, the CO2 gas will not be able to flow out effectively, rendering the extinguisher ineffective in suppressing fires.
How much ppm are there in co2 fire extinguisher?
It should be at least 99.5 percent CO2.
Is CO2 flamable?
no it is not flammable. Its actually an fire extinguisher
Is CO2 extinguisher used on electric fires?
Yes
Is co2 fire extinguisher still legal?
Yes.
What type of extinguisher should be avoided in confined space?
CO2
