Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) fire extinguishers are designed to combat fires involving flammable liquids, gases, electrical equipment, and delicate machinery. They are highly effective in extinguishing transformer fires, switchgear fires, and fires in sophisticated electronic devices. CO₂ extinguishers work by displacing oxygen, thereby suffocating the fire without leaving any residue, making them ideal for environments where cleanliness is crucial.
