A CO2 (carbon dioxide) fire extinguisher with a 2 kg capacity is a compact, effective tool for handling small fires. Here’s a general description:

Design and Construction:

• Size and Weight: The extinguisher weighs around 2 kg (approximately 4.4 lbs), making it portable and easy to maneuver.
• Body: Typically made of aluminum or steel, it features a durable, pressure-resistant canister.
• Handle and Lever: It comes with a comfortable handle and a squeeze lever for easy operation.
• Hose: Equipped with a short, flexible hose or a horn nozzle that directs the CO2 discharge precisely.

Function:

• Agent: Contains carbon dioxide, which is stored in liquid form under pressure.
• Mechanism: When activated, the CO2 is released as a gas. It displaces oxygen around the fire, effectively suffocating it and putting it out.

Fire Classes:

• Primarily suitable for Class B (flammable liquids) and Class C (electrical) fires. Not recommended for Class A (ordinary combustibles like wood and paper) or Class D (metal) fires.

Advantages:

• Clean Agent: CO2 leaves no residue, making it ideal for use in environments with sensitive equipment like computer rooms or laboratories.
• Effective on Electrical Fires: CO2 is non-conductive, which makes it safe to use on live electrical fires.

Usage:

• Activation: Aim the hose or nozzle at the base of the fire, and squeeze the lever to release CO2. Sweep the extinguisher side to side until the fire is completely out.

Maintenance:

• Regularly check the pressure gauge to ensure it's in the green zone and have the extinguisher serviced periodically to ensure it's in working condition.

This type of extinguisher is a popular choice for areas where sensitive equipment is present or where a residue-free agent is needed.
