Will a fire extinguisher explode in a car during hot weather?
1 Answers
Whether a car fire extinguisher will explode in high summer temperatures depends on local temperature conditions and maintenance. Generally, it will not explode. Here are the relevant details: 1. Types: There are many types of fire extinguishers. Most car fire extinguishers are dry powder extinguishers, which theoretically can be stored at temperatures between -20°C and 55°C. Normally, they will not explode when placed in a car. 2. Precautions: This does not mean fire extinguishers can be placed in the car without caution. Although the steel cylinder will not explode, excessively high temperatures can accelerate the aging of related components, leading to leaks and rendering the extinguisher ineffective.
