Water and foam extinguishers are typically propelled with compressed air.
Dry chemical extinguishers with stored pressure are typically pressurized with nitrogen; cartridge operated extinguishers are typically pressurized with carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide extinguishers are self-propelling and the gas is self-explanatory. Likewise with halon and other clean agents.
The gas becomes a liquid inside the extinguisher. When the extinguisher is operated, the liquid changes back to a gas when released.
Nytrogen gas
There is equipment that connects from the gas tank to the fire extinguisher, and is deigned to keep from overpressurizing the extinguisher. Do NOT try this without the equipment.
Nitrogen or Argon depending on the type.
Carbon dioxide
Carbon Dioxide
A self-contained fire extinguisher includes an extinguishing agent and usually a pressurized gas. In a CO2 extinguisher, the pressurized gas is also the agent.
Foam, dry powder or CO2 gas- a Class B extinguisher
N2, you know nitrogen gas
Hello all, As far as I know that we are using halon 1301 for our extinguisher. But if you have any damaged extinguisher then you can sell it on halon.us.
If you remove the siphon tube from a CO2 fire extinguisher, the extinguisher will not work properly. The siphon tube is responsible for drawing and releasing the CO2 gas from the extinguisher. Without it, the CO2 gas will not be able to flow out effectively, rendering the extinguisher ineffective in suppressing fires.
