These results are particularly noteworthy considering that the International Space Station employs CO2 as fire extinguishers; our results suggest that helium may be a better suppressant agent on both mass and mole bases at microgravity even though CO2 is much better on a mole basis at earth gravity.
Can helium extinguish fire?
Extinguish fire using an agent suitable for type of surrounding fire. Helium itself does not burn. CONTAINERS MAY RUPTURE OR BURST IN FIRE. Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.
What are fire extinguishers filled with?
"ABC" fire extinguishers are filled with a fine yellow powder. The greatest portion of this powder is composed of monoammonium phosphate. Nitrogen is used to pressurize the extinguishers. It is extremely important to identify which types of dry chemical extinguishers are located in your area.
