What type of fire extinguisher is best for cars?
1 Answers
Dry powder fire extinguishers or water-based fire extinguishers are recommended for cars. Below is an introduction to these two types of fire extinguishers: 1. Dry powder fire extinguishers extinguish fires quickly and are cost-effective, but they are polluting and corrosive. The fire extinguishing mechanism of dry powder fire extinguishers is chemical inhibition, which interrupts the chain reaction of combustion. They have a high fire extinguishing rating, are multifunctional, extinguish fires rapidly, and possess electrical insulation properties and good low-temperature performance. 2. Water-based fire extinguishers cannot extinguish Class D metal fires but can extinguish other types of flames. They are non-polluting, harmless to humans, and most effective at extinguishing Class B liquid fires, making them particularly suitable for engine and car fires. However, they are difficult to store and expensive.
