Carbon Dioxide Gas Extinguishing System
Carbon Dioxide as an extinguishing agent is swift and thorough. Within seconds, it smothers a fire and holds damage to a minimum. Stored under pressure as a liquid, carbon dioxide quickly expands to vapor and a state of fine particles of dry ice, much like snow. The “snow” absorbs heat rapidly changes to vapor under normal temperature conditions and even faster in the presence of fire. The carbon dioxide vapor chokes off combustion and the snow effect reduces the ambient temperature to help prevent re-ignition. Moreover, carbon dioxide is a three dimensional agent, enabling it to penetrate the entire hazard area, including electrical cabinets. Low-pressure and high-pressure carbon dioxide systems have equal extinguishing capabilities when each is designed to handle a specific hazard.
FM 200 / FE 227
FM-200 Fire Suppression agent was the first environmentally acceptable replacement for Halon 1301. FM-200 has zero ozone depleting potential and a short atmospheric lifetime. It is particularly useful where an environmentally acceptable agent is essential, where cleanup of other media presents a problem, where weight versus suppression potential is a factor, where electrically non-conductive medium is needed, and people compatibility and overriding factor.
Fire Extinguishers
Portable fire extinguisher is the critical first line of defense in the event of fire. But the wrong equipment can be harmful or deadly. That’s why we offer options for every application, including class A, B, C, D and K fires occurring in areas with Low, Moderate and High Hazard classification as well as FE36 clean agent and wet chemical K class types, to name a few. Our specialists are ready to help you choose the appropriate extinguishers for your situation.
In a fire, seconds count. Everything that is needed to properly operate extinguishers is clearly written and illustrated on the front panel. Simply remove the pin, aim the nozzle at the base of the flames, and squeeze the handle. It’s easy, fast and effective.
Types of Extinguishers
Different types of extinguishers are designed to fight different classes of fire. Three most common types of fire extinguishers are: Water (APW), Carbon Dioxide (Co2), Dry Chemical (ABD, BC & DC)
