GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbon dioxide extinguishes work by displacing oxygen, or taking away the oxygen element of the fire triangle . The carbon dioxide is also very cold as it comes out of the extinguisher, so it cools the fuel as well.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon dioxide is used in extinguishing a fire because it neither burns nor does it help in burning.It is also heavier than air, it insulates the burning substance by cutting off the supply of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon Dioxide (CO2) fire extinguishers are most commonly used for Class E fires involving electrical equipment. As Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is a non-conductive & non-corrosive gas, it is the perfect solution for protecting computer & electrical equipment in the event of a fire.

Detailed explanation-4: -CO2 fire extinguishers are mainly aimed at electrical fires but are also suitable for Class B liquid fires and are used in different ways depending on the type of fire they are being used on. Do not use CO2 extinguishers in small rooms as CO2 gas is poisonous at only 4% concentration and can kill at just 8%.
