Fire Extinguisher Co2 4.5 Kg

Product Description

fire extinguisher with a 4.5kg capacity is a specific type of fire extinguisher designed for certain types of fires. Here are some key details about CO2 fire extinguishers with a 4.5kg capacity:

1.           Type of Fire:

            CO2 fire extinguishers are primarily designed for use on Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires. They are not suitable for Class A fires (ordinary combustibles like wood or paper).

2.           Capacity:

            The 4.5kg capacity refers to the amount of carbon dioxide contained in the extinguisher. This capacity is sufficient for dealing with moderate-sized fires, and it provides a controlled discharge of CO2 to suppress the fire.

3.           Application:

            FIRETUFF CO2 fire extinguishers are commonly used in areas with electrical equipment, such as offices, server rooms, laboratories, and industrial settings. They are also suitable for flammable liquid fires involving substances like petrol, oil, and solvents.

4.           How it Works:

            When the FIRETUFF CO2 extinguisher is discharged, the carbon dioxide gas is released, displacing oxygen around the fire. This process helps to smother the flames and extinguish the fire. Additionally, CO2 does not leave a residue, making it suitable for use on electrical equipment.

5.           Features:

            FIRETUFF CO2 fire extinguishers typically have a horn or nozzle to direct the CO2 toward the fire. The extinguisher may also have a discharge horn designed to be frost-free to prevent the user's hands from freezing during operation.

6.           Safety Considerations:

            It's important to follow safety guidelines when using CO2 fire extinguishers. The discharge of CO2 can be extremely cold, and direct contact with the gas can cause frostbite or cold burns. Therefore, users should hold the extinguisher by the handle and avoid contact with the discharge horn during operation.

7.           Inspection and Maintenance:

            Regular inspections and maintenance are crucial to ensure that the FIRETUFF CO2 fire extinguisher is in good working condition. This includes checking the pressure gauge, ensuring the nozzle is clear, and confirming that the extinguisher has not been damaged.

8.           Training:

            Proper training in the use of fire extinguishers is essential. Users should understand the type of fires the extinguisher is suitable for and how to operate it safely.

Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines and local regulations for specific information about the CO2 fire extinguisher you are using.
