Question

How does a fire extinguisher works ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Most fire extinguishers work by separating the fuel from the oxygen. The oxygen comes from the air. It is the same oxygen we breathe. Since the oxygen has to be in contact with the fuel, if you can coat the fuel with something that keeps the oxygen away, the fire will go out. Some ways of using fire extinguisher are:

• Water extinguishers work mainly by cooling (removing heat), but a dense spray of water droplets also helps to cut off oxygen.

• Dry powder extinguishers soak up heat, melt on the fuel, and cut off oxygen, but they also neutralize the fuel (cutting it off from the fire) .
