Fire Extinguisher based on Graphite powder for Extinguishing Fire in Fire Work Industry
Downloads
This study discusses about the issue of security of workers safety in fire work industries and the surroundings of fire work industries. It is intended to aid in the security of the fire work industries by bringing new and alternate type of fire extinguishers. These fire extinguishers developed are not just the normal extinguishers, because in this study graphite is used as an inlet for the fire extinguishing equipment, which has 3600ºC as boiling point and the only component which have more possibility to extinguish the metal fire. Graphite based fire extinguishers specially made for fire work industries. Graphite based fire extinguisher cannot be used for electricity fire because of graphite is an electricity. It is the connecting component for pressure of the cylinder nitrogen gas which use the graphite. Nitrogen gas with 13 bar pressure is used in this extinguisher. Also some other extinguishers contain foam, dry chemical powder, carbon dioxide and water. Here graphite is used for the better performance, change of pressure and gas also helps to improve the quality of fire extinguishers. This project brings to limelight an alternative safety system for firework work industries fire extinguisher.
