Question 1

Why is CO2 extinguisher preferred for electrical fires?

Accepted Answer

CO2 is a non-conductive gas that displaces oxygen to suppress fire without leaving any residue on electrical equipment. Unlike dry powder which can damage circuit boards and contacts, CO2 evaporates completely after use. This makes it the preferred choice near computers, servers, switchboards, and sensitive medical equipment.

Question 3

Can CO2 extinguisher be used in confined spaces?

Accepted Answer

CO2 works by displacing oxygen, which can create a suffocation hazard in small, enclosed spaces. In confined areas, evacuate all people before using a CO2 extinguisher. For small server rooms and enclosed spaces, consider a clean agent extinguisher (HFC-based) which is safer for occupied spaces.

Question 4

How do I check if my CO2 extinguisher is still charged?

Accepted Answer

Unlike ABC extinguishers which have a pressure gauge, CO2 extinguishers must be checked by weighing them. The full weight and net CO2 weight are stamped on the cylinder. If the actual weight is more than 10% below the full weight, the extinguisher needs refilling. We recommend monthly weighing checks.

Question 5

What is the shelf life of a CO2 fire extinguisher?

Accepted Answer

The CO2 gas inside has an indefinite shelf life as long as the cylinder seal is intact and it has not leaked. The steel cylinder itself has a lifespan of 15 years, with mandatory hydrostatic testing every 5 years as per IS 2878. If the cylinder passes the pressure test, it can continue in service.
