Water Fire Extinguisher

The Poseidon Water Fire Extinguisher is designed for rapid and effective fire suppression, particularly in environments where lithium-ion batteries are a concern. Utilizing a specialized water-based formula, this extinguisher effectively cools and prevents thermal runaway, a key issue in lithium-ion battery fires. Its cooling, soaking, and penetrating effects enable it to rapidly reduce the temperature, suppress flames, and prevent re-ignition. Unlike traditional extinguishers, it is safe for use around electrical equipment and electrical fires, without the risk of conductive damage.

Certified to meet rigorous safety standards, this water fire extinguisher is ideal for high-risk areas such as lithium-ion battery manufacturing, electric vehicle (EV) charging stations, and battery storage facilities. It is also effective in class A fires, making it suitable for everyday applications in wood, paper, and cloth trash scenarios. With a discharge range of 45-55 ft, it is highly effective, even for inexperienced operators, offering peace of mind during critical moments.

Detail

The Poseidon Water Fire Extinguisher leverages a cutting-edge water-based extinguishing agent, specially designed to address the unique challenges posed by lithium-ion battery fires. The agent is formulated with fluorinated surfactants, carbon surfactants, and other additives to create a solution that not only cools the fire but also prevents the chemical reactions that can lead to thermal runaway. This formulation ensures that the extinguisher provides superior performance in high-temperature, high-risk environments.

  • Stream of Water: The extinguisher delivers a strong, consistent stream of water that can cover a wide area, ensuring that even large fires are quickly brought under control.
  • Electrical Equipment Safety: Since the extinguisher uses a non-conductive solution, it is safe to use around electrical fires without the risk of electrical shock.
  • Discharge Time: With a discharge time optimized for maximum effectiveness, the extinguisher ensures rapid fire suppression without unnecessary delays. The agent covers the fire surface in seconds, minimizing damage.

This extinguisher comes with a Merex model design that enhances durability and ease of use. Its stainless steel cylinder provides long-lasting strength, while its ergonomic handle makes it easy for operators—whether experienced or not—to use effectively. Additionally, the extinguisher is shipped empty, providing more flexibility during storage and transportation.

The Poseidon Water Fire Extinguisher offers cutting-edge technology for rapidly controlling fires, especially those involving lithium-ion batteries. With advanced features like cooling, soaking, and penetrating effects, non-conductivity, and an easy-to-use design, it ensures safety in both industrial and residential settings. Its high-quality materials, including stainless steel, and compliance with industry certifications, make it a trusted choice for modern fire suppression needs.

  • Specialized Extinguishing Agent: The PS-450 water-based formula effectively cools fires and suppresses thermal runaway, essential for lithium-ion battery fires.
  • Non-Toxic and Eco-Friendly: Biodegradable, non-polluting, and safe for various environments.
  • Non-Conductive: Safe for use around electrical equipment and electrical fires.
  • Fast Suppression: Quickly absorbs heat to reduce fire temperature, preventing re-ignition.
  • Effective for Inexperienced Operators: Simple design ensures ease of use for any operator.
  • Wide Discharge Range: Discharges a powerful stream of water up to 45-55 ft (13.7–16.7 meters).

Applications

The Poseidon Water Fire Extinguisher is designed for a wide range of applications, especially in high-risk areas where traditional extinguishing methods may fall short. It’s particularly effective in industries dealing with lithium-ion battery storage and usage, including:

  • Lithium-ion Battery Manufacturing and Storage Facilities.
  • Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Stations.
  • Battery Storage Areas and Research Laboratories.
  • Commercial and Residential Spaces with battery-powered devices and equipment.

Real-world cases have demonstrated the Poseidon Water Fire Extinguisher‘s effectiveness in controlling fire escalation, minimizing property damage, and providing reliable protection in various high-risk environments.
