What type of fire extinguisher is used in cars?
1 Answers
Fire extinguishers used in cars include dry powder extinguishers, ultra-fine dry powder extinguishers, carbon dioxide extinguishers, and water-based extinguishers. Vehicle fire extinguishers are specifically designed for automotive use and fall into two main categories: non-pressurized hanging ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire suppression systems for vehicles, and miniature pressurized hanging ultra-fine dry powder automatic fire suppression systems for vehicles. Different extinguisher materials have varying lifespans, with vehicle fire extinguishers typically valid for two years. If there is no expiration mark, the pressure gauge's needle in the green zone indicates usability. When the needle enters the red zone, it means the extinguisher lacks sufficient pressure and must not be used further, as expired extinguishers pose significant risks.
