A COโ‚‚ (carbon dioxide) fire extinguisher (view)uses pressurized carbon dioxide gas as its extinguishing agent. These extinguishers are specifically rated for Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires. Carbon dioxide gas is nonflammable and non-conductive, making it suitable for safely extinguishing electrical fires without the risk of electrical shock.

When discharged, carbon dioxide gas is released from the extinguisher at high speed, displacing the oxygen around the fire. This action smothers the flames, effectively cutting off the fire’s oxygen supply. Additionally, the gas is extremely cold when it discharges, which helps to cool the fuel source of the fire.

One of the significant advantages of COโ‚‚ fire extinguishers is that they leave behind no residue. This makes them an excellent choice for use in places where clean-up is a concern, such as in offices, laboratories, or other with sensitive electronic equipment.
