A 2kg Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Fire Extinguisher is designed to control Class B and Class C fires. These extinguishers use non-flammable carbon dioxide gas, compressed under high pressure. When activated, the high-pressure CO₂ discharges forcefully, and small particles of dry ice may emerge from the horn.
Key Features:
- Capacity: Holds 2 kilograms of CO₂, making it ideal for small to medium-sized fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment.
- Discharge Time: Releases CO₂ for approximately 8 to 10 seconds, enabling quick fire suppression.
- Discharge Range: Effective for up to 4 meters, ensuring sufficient coverage.
- Temperature Range: Operates efficiently in environments ranging from -20°C to 60°C.
- Design: Features a rigid horn and lacks a pressure gauge. The horn releases the CO₂ forcefully, displacing oxygen and suppressing the fire
How It Works:
The 2kg Carbon Dioxide extinguisher suppresses fires by displacing oxygen, which removes one element of the fire triangle. The gas cools the fuel, helping to put out the fire. However, CO₂ extinguishers are more effective on Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires. They do not perform as well on Class A (ordinary combustibles) because they may not displace enough oxygen to fully smother the fire, allowing materials to potentially reignite.
Applications:
The 2kg CO₂ extinguisher is perfect for environments such as offices, mechanical rooms, kitchens, and laboratories, where flammable liquids or electrical fires may occur. Its compact design and powerful discharge make it effective in confined spaces.
Morison Engineering ensures all CO₂ extinguishers undergo hydrostatic testing and recharging every five years, so they remain fully functional.
