Q&A

1. Which types of fires can this product be used for?
✅ Answer: This product is suitable for B-type (liquid fires, such as oil, gasoline, etc.) and C-type (electrical fires). The CO2 fire extinguisher extinguishes fires through suffocation and cooling, leaving no residue. It is particularly suitable for places like electrical equipment, laboratories, and kitchens.

2. Can it be used for solid fires (such as wood, paper)?
❌ Answer: Not recommended. It has limited effectiveness for Class A solid fires (such as wood, fabric, paper), and it is recommended to use dry powder or water-based fire extinguishers instead.

3. Why is this suitable for electrical fires?
✅ Answer: CO2 is an insulating fire extinguishing agent that will not damage electronic equipment. After extinguishing the fire, there will be no residue and no secondary pollution, making it suitable for use in server rooms, distribution boxes and other places.

4. The spraying time is only 10 seconds. Is that enough?
✅ Answer: It is designed for rapid and efficient fire suppression. A 10-second spraying time is sufficient to control small fires. When using it, aim at the base of the flames and spray quickly to avoid waste.

5. How to check if the fire extinguisher is functioning properly?
✅ Answer:
Pressure gauge inspection: The pointer should be within the green zone (indicating normal pressure).
Visual inspection: Ensure that the safety latch is in good condition and that the nozzle is undamaged.
Regular maintenance: It is recommended that a professional inspection be conducted once a year.

6. What are the precautions when using it?
⚠️ Answer:
Maintain a distance: It is recommended to spray within a range of 3 to 8 meters to avoid frostbite (due to the extremely low temperature of CO2).
Avoid enclosed spaces: A large amount of CO2 release may reduce the oxygen concentration. After use, ventilation should be carried out.
Don't invert: The CO2 fire extinguisher doesn't need to be shaken or inverted. Just press it and it will spray.

7. What are the differences between chrome-plated bottle bodies and ordinary carbon steel bottle bodies?
✅ Answer:
Chrome plated bottle body: More aesthetically pleasing, with enhanced rust prevention properties, suitable for places that require long term storage or have decorative requirements (such as hotels, exhibition halls).
Common carbon steel cylinder: High in cost-effectiveness, suitable for industrial or general household use.

8. Can it be installed on a vehicle?
✅ Answer: Yes! This product is suitable for vehicles, campers, yachts, etc., to prevent it from falling off during.

9. How long is the service life?
✅ Answer: Under normal maintenance, it can be used for 10 years. However, it is recommended to conduct a professional inspection every 5-6 years to ensure the pressure is normal.

10. How to refill after use?
✅ Answer: It needs to be refilled by a professional fire equipment supplier. Self-operation is not allowed.
