plunger Explanation: . -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2024-04-18 19:28:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This extinguisher type consists of two containers - the outer one is filled with water, whereas the central one has carbon dioxide charge and foam solution. The central container has a plunger mechanism at the top which when depressed releases the carbon dioxide and allows foam and water to mix. The foam and water comes out of the nozzle, creating mechanical foam. This extinguisher is operated in upright position -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2024-04-18 23:24:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The late 19th century saw the invention of the soda-acid extinguisher, where a cylinder contained 1 or 2 gallons of water that had sodium bicarbonate mixed in it. Suspended in the cylinder was a vial containing concentrated sulphuric acid. The vial of acid was broken by one of two means depending on the type of extinguisher. One involved the use of a plunger that broke the acid vial, while the second involved the release of a lead bung that held the vial closed. Once the acid was mixed with the bicarbonate solution, carbon dioxide gas would be expelled and this would in turn pressurise the water. The pressurised water was forced from the canister through a short length of hose and a nozzle. The acid was neutralised by the sodium bicarbonate. - https://www.firesafe.org.uk/history-of-fire-extinguishers/ -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 7 hrs (2024-04-20 00:40:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- |
