Features And Benefits:
A 45kg CO2 fire extinguisher is a larger variant compared to the more common 25kg extinguisher. Here are some features and benefits:
1. Capacity: Holds 45 kilograms of CO2 (carbon dioxide), making it suitable for tackling larger fires or for use in high-risk areas where a larger volume of extinguishing agent is required.
2. Material: Usually constructed from robust materials such as steel to withstand high pressures and provide durability.
3. Dimensions: The dimensions can vary depending on the manufacturer, but generally, it’s larger in size compared to a 25kg extinguisher. It might have a diameter of around 250-350mm and a height of 1500-1800mm.
4. Pressure: Designed to withstand high pressures to contain the compressed CO2 gas efficiently.
5. Valve: Equipped with a valve mechanism for controlled discharge of the CO2 when the extinguisher is activated.
6. Safety Features: Includes safety features like pressure relief valves to prevent over-pressurization, ensuring safe handling and operation.
7. Weight: The weight of the entire extinguisher, including the CO2 and the cylinder itself, typically around 100-120 kilograms, though this can vary.
8. Color Coding: Likely to have a distinct color coding, often with a black body and a band of color (usually red) around the top, to indicate it as a CO2 extinguisher.
Given its larger size and capacity, a 45kg CO2 fire extinguisher is suitable for use in industrial settings, large commercial spaces, or areas with high fire risk where a significant amount of CO2 is needed to suppress fires effectively.
