What are the requirements for the storage environment of portable C02 fire extinguisher

In fire safety management, fire extinguishers are key firefighting equipment, and the stability of their performance is directly related to the effectiveness of fire fighting. Ningbo Kaituo Valve Co., Ltd. focuses on the design and manufacture of portable CO2 fire extinguishers, and is well aware of the important impact of environmental factors on the performance of fire extinguishers.

Temperature control: ensuring the performance of fire extinguishers
Temperature is a key factor affecting the internal pressure and material properties of fire extinguishers. Ningbo Kaituo Valve Co., Ltd.'s portable CO2 fire extinguishers fully consider the impact of temperature on their structure during the design process. To ensure the best performance of the fire extinguisher during use, it is recommended that the storage environment should be kept between 0°C and 50°C. This temperature range can not only maintain the stability of the internal pressure, but also avoid material aging or deformation caused by temperature fluctuations.
In actual applications, fire extinguishers should be avoided from being placed in direct sunlight or near heat sources. High temperature environments may cause internal pressure to rise and increase the risk of leakage; while low temperatures may slow down the release rate of CO2 gas and affect the fire extinguishing effect. Therefore, reasonable temperature management is the basis for ensuring the reliability of fire extinguishers.

Humidity control: prevent corrosion and deliquescence
Humidity is also an important factor affecting the performance of fire extinguishers. A high humidity environment may cause corrosion of the fire extinguisher shell and internal components, shorten its service life and reduce reliability. Especially for fire extinguishers with certain chemical components, high humidity may also cause deliquescence of the components, significantly reducing the efficiency of fire extinguishing.
Although Ningbo Kaituo Valve Co., Ltd.'s portable CO2 fire extinguishers have little direct impact on humidity, it is still recommended to store them in a relatively dry environment. If the storage environment humidity is high, it is recommended to use a dehumidifier or desiccant to control the humidity to protect the internal structure and performance of the fire extinguisher.

Avoid vibration and shock: protect the internal structure
Vibration and shock may cause the internal components of the fire extinguisher to loosen, damage or deform, thereby affecting its use effect. Ningbo Kaituo Valve Co., Ltd. emphasizes that fire extinguishers should be stored on a stable and solid surface and avoid being placed in an environment with frequent vibration or shock. At the same time, for fire extinguishers that need to be moved or transported frequently, it is recommended to use a special transport box or fixed rack to ensure its safety during transportation.

Regular inspection and maintenance: ensure stable performance
In addition to a reasonable storage environment, regular inspection and maintenance are the key to ensuring the stable performance of fire extinguishers. Ningbo Kaituo Valve Co., Ltd. recommends that users regularly check the appearance, pressure indicator, nozzle, valve and other key components of the fire extinguisher to ensure that they are intact. At the same time, it is necessary to check the adequacy of the fire extinguishing agent to prevent problems at critical moments.
