Can Water Based Fire Extinguisher Extinguish Electric Fire
Can water based fire extinguisher extinguish electric fire
Electrical equipment fire is a common type of fire, if not timely rescue, may cause serious casualties and property losses. So, how to put out electrical fires? Is there a fire extinguisher that can effectively extinguish the fire and protect the electrical equipment from damage? The answer is yes, that is, water-based (water mist) fire extinguishers.
Water-based water mist fire extinguisher is a high-tech environmental protection fire extinguisher, its fire extinguishing agent is mainly composed of pure water and surfactant, spray to form small droplets of water. These droplets have the following advantages:
Environmental protection and pollution-free: the surfactants in the water droplets can be 100% biodegradable, and will not pollute the surrounding equipment and space. High fire extinguishing efficiency: water droplets can quickly evaporate and absorb a lot of heat, reduce the temperature of the fire site, and inhibit thermal radiation. At the same time, the water droplets can be covered on the surface of the fuel, forming a layer of water film, cutting off oxygen, flame retardant and anti-reignition.
Wide range of application: water-based water mist fire extinguishers can be put out A class (solid), class B (liquid), class C (gas), class E (electrical) and class F (grease) and other types of fire, in addition to combustible metal fire, almost no fire can not be put out.
Good insulation performance: The reason why water-based water mist fire extinguishers can fight the fire of live equipment is that pure water and air are non-conductive, and only the impurities in them will conduct electricity to a certain density. The water droplets are small, the space is large, and the impurity density is very low, so they do not conduct electricity. Water-based water mist fire extinguisher can insulate 36kv electricity, which is the best choice for extinguishing electrical fires.
In summary, the water-based (water mist) fire extinguisher is an efficient, environmentally friendly, safe and universal fire extinguisher, which has a good effect on the fire of electrical equipment.
