  2. Carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide

    Carbon dioxide extinguishers work well on small flammable liquid and electrical fires, but not on ordinary combustible fires, because they do not cool the burning substances significantly, and when the carbon dioxide disperses, they can catch fire upon exposure to atmospheric oxygen. They are mainly used in server rooms.

  3. Combustibility and flammability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustibility_and...

    The burning of a solid material may appear to lose weight if the mass of combustion gases (such as carbon dioxide and water vapor) are not taken into account. The original mass of flammable material and the mass of the oxygen consumed (typically from the surrounding air) equals the mass of the flame products (ash, water, carbon dioxide, and ...

  4. Fire class - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_class

    A carbon dioxide fire extinguisher rated for flammable liquids and gasses. Class B fires are those where the fuel is flammable or combustible liquid. The US system includes flammable gases in their "Class B". [3] In the European/Australian system, flammable liquids are designated "Class B" having flash point less than 100 °C (212 °F). [4]

    Is determined to be flammable in accordance with ASTM E681-85, Standard Test Method for Concentration Limits of Flammability of Chemicals; The following applies to aerosols: An aerosol must be assigned to Division 2.1 if the contents include 85% by mass or more flammable components and the chemical heat of combustion is 30 kJ/g or more;

  6. Combustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Combustion

    The flames caused as a result of a fuel undergoing combustion (burning) Air pollution abatement equipment provides combustion control for industrial processes.. Combustion, or burning, [1] is a high-temperature exothermic redox chemical reaction between a fuel (the reductant) and an oxidant, usually atmospheric oxygen, that produces oxidized, often gaseous products, in a mixture termed as smoke.

  9. Liquid carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_carbon_dioxide

    Liquid carbon dioxide is the liquid state of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), which cannot occur under atmospheric pressure. It can only exist at a pressure above 5.1 atm (5.2 bar; 75 psi), under 31.1 °C (88.0 °F) (temperature of critical point ) and above −56.6 °C (−69.9 °F) (temperature of triple point ). [ 1 ]
