This type of extinguisher does not cool the fire very well and you need to watch that the fire does not start up again. Gas from C02 extinguishers can be harmful if used in confined spaces as it displaces oxygen in the air. Ventilate the area as soon as the fire has been extinguished. The discharge horn should be directed at the base of the fire Carbon dioxide (CO2) extinguishers are suitable for use on small fires involving flammable liquids and electrical equipment, particularly where it is necessary to avoid damage or contamination by foam or powder deposits. Carbon dioxide does not conduct electricity, it is clean and it is easy to operate. Limitations Carbon dioxide is an asphyxiant and has freezing capabilities. Care should be taken when using the extinguishers in basements or enclosed spaces as the gas can be an asphyxiant. The extinguishers are very noisy when operated. Carbon dioxide is unsuitable for extinguishing fires outdoors since the gas disperses on release. Carbon dioxide extinguishers are pressure vessels and so strict legal requirements cover their manufacture and use. Bodies are manufactured to BS 5045 and must incorporate a bursting disc or bursting valve. The disc is so designed that in the event of increased pressure from either overfilling or a temperature rise, it will safely vent the contents to the atmosphere. Care must be taken not to hold the horn as it gets VERY cold and can cause skin damage if touched.
Carbon Dioxide C02 The traditional fire extinguisher used for electrical fires it is Clean, effective and safe on live electrical equipment. It is usually identified by a black band or some of the older models will have totally black body. CO2 will extinguish most types of fire, but care must be taken that the pressure of the jet does not cause the fire to spread.
Carbon Dioxide C02 It can be used on most fires but care must be taken to ensure that the high pressure does not cause the fire to spread.
