The Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) Type Fire Extinguisher from Krunal Engineering Works is a premium fire safety solution specifically designed for high-risk electrical and flammable liquid environments. Since CO₂ is a non-conductive and non-corrosive gas, it is the preferred choice for protecting sensitive electronic equipment, server rooms, and laboratory settings. Its ability to extinguish fires without physical contact makes it indispensable for modern industrial infrastructure. Built with a high-pressure mild steel body and engineered to meet rigorous ISI standards (IS 15683), this extinguisher works by displacing the oxygen that a fire needs to burn while simultaneously cooling the fuel source. This dual-action approach ensures rapid suppression of flames. The heavy-duty construction is designed to contain the gas under high pressure safely, ensuring the unit is ready for immediate deployment during an emergency.
One of its greatest advantages is that it leaves zero residue, eliminating the need for extensive cleanup and preventing secondary damage to the delicate internal components of machinery or computers. Unlike powder-based extinguishers, which can ruin circuitry, the CO₂ gas simply dissipates into the air after use. This "clean" characteristic is vital for businesses that cannot afford the downtime associated with equipment contamination or water damage. The unit operates efficiently even in extreme temperatures, ranging from -20°C to +55°C, ensuring total reliability in both cold storage facilities and high-heat industrial zones. Available in standard portable capacities like 2 kg and 4.5 kg, these extinguishers provide a minimum 85% effective discharge efficiency. This makes them a powerful and dependable tool for rapid fire suppression in specialized environments where precision and cleanliness are top priorities.

The extinguisher operates at a service pressure of 15 kgf/cm² and is tested at a hydraulic pressure of 35 kgf/cm².
Yes. Extinguishers like the Carbon Dioxide Gas Type are engineered to meet ISI standards (IS 15683), ensuring they meet national safety and performance benchmarks for industrial use.
Yes, it is the preferred choice. Because it is non-conductive and leaves zero residue, it won't short-circuit neighboring servers or leave a messy powder that ruins expensive hardware.
Unlike water or powder units, the internal pressure of CO₂ depends entirely on the surrounding temperature. A gauge would constantly fluctuate, making it unreliable. The only way to check the content is by weight.
