Where to Place a Fire Extinguisher in a Car?
1 Answers
Onboard fire extinguishers should be placed near the driver's seat in a location that is easily accessible, such as under the driver's or passenger's seat. Below are relevant details: 1. Dry Powder Fire Extinguisher: The principle of this extinguisher is chemical suppression, which interrupts the chain reaction of combustion. It offers high firefighting capability, comprehensive functionality, rapid extinguishing, electrical insulation properties, and good low-temperature performance, making it particularly suitable for use in factories, warehouses, and outdoor settings. 2. Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher: The mechanism of this extinguisher is suffocation, achieved by reducing the oxygen concentration around the burning material. Carbon dioxide as an extinguishing agent has excellent insulation properties. However, its drawbacks include a high extinguishing concentration, resulting in lower firefighting capability, making it more suitable for relatively enclosed spaces. It has poor resistance to re-ignition, and carbon dioxide is a moderately toxic substance. When the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air reaches 2%, it can cause discomfort.
