what is fire extinguisher .write the role of carbon dioxide in fire extinguisher
Answers
Answer:
For this property, CO2 is widely used as a fire extinguisher. It covers the substance on which it is sprayed, making a thin protective film and cuts the oxygen supply which is necessary for any combustion reaction.
The Extinguisher Cannisters contain the carbon dioxide in liquid form.
◾These are used to overcome electrical fire risks and are usually the main fire extinguisher type that is provided in computer server rooms.
◾Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Extinguishers contain co2 in liquid form and when it relased the co2 gets neutralized by the oxygen present in the air and
thus it reduces the intensity of the flame by blocking the flow of oxygen which supports fire/flame
◾It disables the fires ability to spread and due to this blocking of oxygen the fire gets stops.
