9L Red Cylinder Water Based Fire Extinguisher Portable Machine

Water extinguishers are one of the most cost-effective ways to fight Class A fires, those fuelled by solid materials such as paper, wood, and textiles.There are four different types of water extinguishers: water jet, water spray, water with additives, and water mist or fog.

Working Principle:

Water extinguishers with additives are water extinguishers with foaming chemicals added. The water loses its natural surface tension meaning that it can soak into the burning materials more effectively. Adding the chemicals to the water means that a smaller extinguisher can produce the same fire rating as a larger, water-only, extinguisher.

Water mist, or fog, extinguishers apply water in the form of mist, or fog, the droplets are much smaller than those from the water spray extinguisher. The smaller the droplet, the larger it's surface area in relation to its size, and the quicker the droplet evaporates which absorbs the heat energy faster. The downside is the smaller the droplet the less it weighs and therefore the less powerful the cloud of water.

Classes of Fire:

Class A – fires involving solid materials such as wood, paper, or textiles.

Class B – fires involving flammable liquids such as petrol, diesel, or oils.

Class C – fires involving gases.

Class D – fires involving metals.

Class E – fires involving live electrical apparatus. (Technically ‘Class E’ doesn’t exist however this is used for convenience here)

Class F – fires involving cooking oils such as in deep-fat fryers.
