What Is the Role of Co2 Cartridges in Firefighting?

1. Basic introduction of CO2 Cartridges

CO2 Cartridges are a common firefighting equipment, usually used in hot work. The cylinder consists of a high-pressure steel cylinder, a valve, a gas release device, a pipeline, etc. The carbon dioxide cylinder has the function of extinguishing fire and suppressing oxygen, which can effectively prevent the spread of fire and protect the safety of workers.

2. The fire extinguishing principle of CO2 Cartridges

Carbon dioxide gas has the function of suppressing oxygen. Therefore, during the fire extinguishing process, CO2 Cartridges will quickly release gas to reduce the oxygen concentration around the fire source, thereby achieving the effect of extinguishing fire. At the same time, carbon dioxide gas will not leave residues, nor will it cause damage to electrical appliances and other equipment, so it is very safe and reliable during the fire extinguishing process.

3. Precautions for the use of CO2 Cartridges

When using CO2 Cartridges, you need to pay attention to the following points:

The cylinder should be stored in a dry, ventilated place away from direct sunlight.

Before use, check whether the pressure of the cylinder is normal to ensure that the CO2 Cartridges can work properly.

When in use, the gas cylinder should be placed near the fire source, and the valve of the gas cylinder should be opened quickly to release the carbon dioxide gas.

After use, the valve of the gas cylinder should be closed in time to avoid gas waste and danger.

In firefighting work, CO2 Cartridges, as one of the common firefighting equipment, has the function of extinguishing fire and suppressing oxygen, which can effectively prevent the spread of fire and protect the safety of workers. When using carbon dioxide gas cylinders, it is necessary to pay attention to the storage, inspection, use and closing of the gas cylinder to ensure that the gas cylinder can work normally and ensure the safety of personnel.
