Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers
Carbon Dioxide extinguishers are filled with non-flammable carbon
dioxide gas under extreme pressure. You can recognize a CO2
extinguisher by its hard horn and lack of pressure gauge. The
pressure in the cylinder is so great that when you use one of these
extinguishers, bits of dry ice may shoot out the horn.
CO2 cylinders are red and range in size from 5 lbs to 100 lbs or
larger. In the larger sizes, the hard horn will be located on the
end of a long, flexible hose.
CO2s are designed for Class B and C
(flammable liquid and electrical) fires only.
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. CO2s may be ineffective at extinguishing Class A
fires because they may not be able to displace enough oxygen to
successfully put the fire out. Class A materials may also smolder
and re-ignite.
CO2s will frequently be found in laboratories, mechanical rooms,
kitchens, and flammable liquid storage areas.
All CO2 extinguishers at USC undergo hydrostatic testing and
recharge every five years.
CO2 Fire Extinguishers and Electricity
CO2 fire extinguishers are safe to use on fires in, on or around
electrical equipment and live cables. CO2 gas is dry, inert in air,
and leaves behind no residue that will affect electrical
equipment’s future operation. So, you will often find a CO2 fire
extinguisher next to precious electrical equipment, from switchgear
to mobile discos.
In most office, workplace, factory or warehouse situations, the
best combination is to have a water additive or foam unit alongside
your CO2 extinguisher, for maximum fire fighting ability.
Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguishers and Other Fire Classes
CO2 fire extinguishers should not be used on Class D fires,
involving flammable metals. The CO2 gas reacts with many volatile
metals, and as with other non-D rated extinguishers, can also blow
burning metal over a wide area, making the situation worse. And it
is not affective on Class A fires such as paper, wood or cloth.
Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher Pressure Gauges
CO2 fire extinguishers do not have pressure gauges, as the gas is
condensed in the cylinder. The only way to assess if a CO2 fire
extinguisher is empty is to weigh it. The gross weight (G W) is
stamped into the meatl of the cylinder shoulder with other
information. To assess how full your CO2 fire extinguisher is,
weigh it (without the swivel horn) and compare this to the stamped
gross weight.
However, rather than take the risk of a part-used fire
extinguisher, or have the expense of a call-out visit and factory
refilling or service exchange, it is often more cost effective to
replace a used CO2 fire extinguisher with a new one. Expert firms
or your local Civic Amenity Centre (the local dump) will be happy
to recycle your old CO2 fire extinguisher.
