FIRE EXTINGUISHERS (C02)
CO2Portable Fire Extinguisher
Construction
The body is made of solid drawn steel which is hydraulically tested to 227 bar (22.7 MN/m2) and it is coated internally and externally with zinc, the external surface being finally painted.
A solid brass pressing forms the head assembly and this is screwed into the neck of the steel bottle. The head assembly incorporates a lever-operated valve, copper dip tube, bursting disc and a discharge horn made of non-conducting (electrically) material that can be swivelled in one plane only into the desired position.
Contents
The body is charged with 4.5 kg of liquid C02at a pressure of 53 bar (5.3 MN/m2) approximately.
Operation
A safety pin (not shown in sketch) would first be removed and then the valve operating lever would be depressed. The liquid CO2 would pass into the discharge horn and emerge as a cloud of C02.
Performance
Range about 3 to 4 m in still air, duration of discharge about 20 s, about 2.5 m3 of gas is produced.
Note: СО2extinguishes a fire by cooling and smothering, the gas has the advantage that it can get into inaccessible places. CO2extinguisher contents, can be checked by regular weighing, this should be done about every four months.
C02 and Water Portable Fire Extinguisher.
Construction
The body of the extinguisher is of welded steel zinc coated, with the external surface painted. A brass neck ring is silver soldered to the top of the steel body and the brass head assembly, which incorporates plunger, handle and swivel safety guard, is screwed into it and seals on a thick rubber washer. Small radial vent holes are drilled in the head assembly which serve to relieve internal pressure when the head is being unscrewed in the event of the nozzle being blocked.
A brass double purpose nozzle is fitted to the delivery end of the reinforced rubber hose and the nozzle can be operated to give water jet or spray as desired.
When the swivel guard is in the protective position the spring loaded piercer is slightly depressed, this serves to keep the extinguisher vented when not in use and prevents water overflow due to change in atmospheric conditions.
Contents
The body contains 9 litres of fresh water, usually a wetting agent is added to the water which enables the water to spread more readily. The inner container is welded steel, zinc coated, and is charged with 74 mg of СО2at a pressure of approximately 36 bar (3.6 MN/m2).
Operation
The hose is first uncoiled from the body and the swivel guard is swung to uncover the plunger. The plunger is then depressed, this releases the СО2which then drives the water out of the extinguisher via the dip tube and hose.
Performance
Length of jet 10.6 m approximately, spray6.06 m with about 36 m2 of cover. Duration of discharge approximately 60 seconds. Body tested hydraulically to 25 bar (2.5 MN/m2).
