What is a fire extinguisher ball?

A fire extinguisher ball is just as its name describes, with a spherical appearance. The automatic fire extinguisher ball consists of an internal drive unit, foam housing, mounting bracket, ABC dry powder extinguishing agent, etc. When the external fuse is ignited, the driving medium is activated and the shell is rapidly expanded and ruptured. The dry powder extinguishing agent is rapidly sprayed to the protected area and quickly diffused around to form a fully submerged fire extinguishing state, and the flame is extinguished under the dual physical and chemical action of the dry powder extinguishing agent. The principle of fire extinguisher ball to extinguish the flame is similar to the fire extinguisher, the difference is that the fire extinguisher requires a human operation, while the fire extinguisher ball does not need, as long as the fire extinguisher ball is thrown at the burning flame, the fire extinguisher ball will detonate itself. It is very simple to operate, even the elderly and children can also be easily used it.

Why are fire extinguisher balls not yet popular?

The fire extinguisher ball is not popular because it is expensive and produced by fewer manufacturers, so it is more difficult to see. On the Amazon platform, the price of a fire extinguisher ball can reach $ 40, while ordinary dry powder fire extinguishers are 70-80 yuan, compared to fire extinguishers, the fire extinguisher ball price is much more expensive, and in the use of still can be said to be disposable, so most places preferred fire extinguishing equipment or fire extinguishers.

However, the fire extinguisher ball compared to the fire extinguisher, in addition to the price being slightly expensive, has a great advantage. We know that the principle of dry powder fire extinguishing is to completely submerge the flame with dry powder, so as to achieve the effect of instantaneous fire extinguishing. The fire extinguisher ball contains a dry powder extinguishing agent, when heated will expand and explode, all the dry powder inside the spray released, can quickly cut off the chain reaction of combustion, to achieve the effect of rapid-fire extinguishing. When we use the traditional portable dry powder fire extinguisher pressure is small, the amount of dry powder is small, it is difficult to achieve the effect of full flooding, fire extinguishing performance is not as good as the fire extinguisher ball. In addition, the fire extinguishing effect of ordinary dry powder is general, the fire extinguishing efficiency of the ultra-fine dry powder      used in the fire extinguisher ball is 6 ~ 10 times that of ordinary dry powder.
