CO₂ Fire Extinguisher
Poseidon’s CO₂ Fire Extinguisher is intended for Class B flammable-liquid fires and Class C energized electrical-equipment fires. Carbon dioxide reduces the oxygen concentration around the flame and leaves no extinguishing agent residue.
The PSR-C range includes 2.5 lb, 5 lb, 10 lb, and 20 lb agent capacities. For fire extinguisher wholesale and OEM orders, send the required model, quantity, destination market, and product documentation requirements.
The Poseidon CO₂ Fire Extinguisher uses an electrically non-conductive agent for appropriate flammable-liquid and electrical hazards. The gas disperses after discharge without leaving powder or liquid agent residue.
Cylinder options include CK45 steel or aluminum, depending on the configuration. The PSR-C models listed below have agent capacities of 2.5 lb (1.13 kg), 5 lb (2.27 kg), 10 lb (4.54 kg), and 20 lb (9.07 kg).
Poseidon offers customization options for color, capacity, cylinder material, and valve configuration. For an OEM order, identify the required model and configuration along with branding and destination-market requirements.
Fire Suppression: CO₂ is used for Class B flammable-liquid and Class C electrical hazards.
Residue-Free Agent: CO₂ disperses without leaving powder or liquid extinguishing agent residue.
Non-Conductive: The agent is electrically non-conductive.
Customization Options: Options include colors, capacities, cylinder materials, and valve configurations.
Cylinder Options: CK45 steel or aluminum, depending on configuration.
Multiple Size Options: Available in 2.5 lb (1.13 kg), 5 lb (2.27 kg), 10 lb (4.54 kg), and 20 lb (9.07 kg) models.
Portable CO₂ fire extinguishers are commonly considered where the fire hazard involves flammable liquids or energized electrical equipment and extinguishing agent residue is a concern. Selection depends on the hazard, the extinguisher’s marked rating, and the conditions at the installation site.
Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Areas: For suitable electrical or flammable-liquid hazards.
Laboratories: For applicable flammable-liquid and electrical-equipment hazards.
Industrial Facilities: For localized Class B or electrical hazards identified in the site’s fire risk assessment.
CO₂ is not recommended for Class A ordinary combustibles, which can smolder and re-ignite after the gas disperses. In confined or poorly ventilated spaces, CO₂ can create a dangerous breathing atmosphere; follow the site’s emergency procedures and respiratory protection requirements.
