Carbon Dioxide Extinguishers. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a compressed gas agent. Though intended for use on Class B and C fires, it may be used on Class A fires ... Carbon dioxide prevents combustion by displacing the oxygen in the air surrounding a fire. ... carbon dioxide extinguishers have a relatively short range because the agent is expelled in the form of a gas/snow cloud ... the agent is retained as a liquid at 800 to 900 psi at temperatures below 88 °F, and it is self-expelling. 6, record 2, English, - carbon%20dioxide%20fire%20extinguisher
