I love co2

R they good to have at home please

co2 will work on grease but as said it will spread the oil around, and the grese will reflash into a fire

True. Knowing this, modulate your CO2 according to the flames, and chill the hot-spots and do not use-up your CO2 in the first quenching action. Go back in to chill the remaining ignition points and hopefully have some CO2 left over in the end.

Can you use bit at a time or have to use it all in one go please

A bit at a time is the best way ever - any empty CO2 fire extinguisher means that you have lost the battle because of over reaction and misguided chilling and smothering actions. A tiny 1 second squirt can put out most grease/fuel fires instantly at the base of the flames.

When using the co2 fire extinguisher do not hold the discharge horn as it is cold give you frostbite

Frostbite is the least of anyone's risk in a fire situation. The flow of freezing gas will be under 10 seconds until it is empty!

It has a coldsafe handle. Like almost all new CO2 extinguishers. It's insulated from the hose so your hand will not freeze to the horn. Regardless, I have a pair of insulated gloves bungee corded to the unit so when I have to use it I can quickly put on gloves to act as a backup means of ensuring my hand does not freeze to the horn and give me frost burns.

would this stop a run away diesel?

Point the CO2 at a gentle flow rate into the Diesel Air Intake = Instant deceleration. Cover the air intake if you run out of CO2.

Hi... I'm from Suadi Arab.. Please teach me Fire Extinguisher.🙂

Can you use on electricity then please

Yes it's rated C so it's a non conducter. You will NOT become the ground if you discharge this on something that has live electricity running through it.

Do you use at home too

Yes, but hopefully never have to use it. CO2 is way cleaner than dry-powder in the kitchen for any size fire. After a small Toaster-Oven+Cheese fire a normal dry-powder extinguisher was used and the entire kitchen had to be cleaned, the Toaster-Oven thrown out, AND the dry-powder extinguisher replaced. I was not home at the time, but I would have simply un-plugged the toaster oven (flaming inside) and thrown it out the back kitchen door and used a water hose on it. If we had CO2 back then then a short blip of gas, and closing the lid the fire would be out, and we would not have had to clean the entire kitchen from the dry-powder residue overspray.

Why used nozzle in co2 fire extinguisher

@joeteejoetee

3 жыл бұрын

The nozzle is to allow the CO2 to expand and not BLAST the flammable liquid onto other surfaces while they are still on-fire - you don't have to use the CO2 at full blast for small fires and you can modulate via the lever how much you are going to expend according to how the flames are dyeing down. Save some of your CO2 in case flames return.

Wear gloves? Who has time for that in case of an oil/fuel fire! !!

I have a question. When using co2 extinguisher, do co2 coming out effects the environment?

@joeteejoetee

The entire building burning down will release 100,000-2Million fold more CO2 than that tiny bottle of cold liquid CO2, so PLEASE put out the starting fire FIRST!

No it does not negatively effect the environment because the co2 that is in the extinguisher was taken from the air and put in the extinguisher, therefore all you are doing is returning it to the air from whence it came. NO new co2 is created I'm order to fill an extinguisher.

I wonder if there has ever been a study that compares CO2 to DryChemical powder on the basis of total environmental impact. #1 is a bottle of pure CO2, which evaporates back into the air. #2 is a bottle of powder that blankets and melts onto hot surfaces (emitting what then?) and solidifies. How was the powder made. How damaging is the excess powder? How long does it take for the powder to bio-decompose. How recyclable/refillable is it?
