MAUS Xtin Klein - Fire Extinguinsher

The technology behind MAUS Xtin Klein

The extinguishing effect of aerosols occurs partly by the particles absorbing heat from the flame and partly by breaking into the chemical reactions that make the flame possible, known as heterogeneous catalysis.

The solid consists mainly of a form of potassium compound and potassium radicals are very active, which then interrupt the chemical combustion reactions by neutralizing hydrogen, oxygen and hydroxide radicals in the flame. Since aerosols consist of very small particles in a gas, the result is a more effective extinguishing agent than conventional powders. The falling speed of the particles decreases with a smaller diameter as the surface area becomes large in relation to the mass, which means that the air resistance is relatively large in relation to the gravitational force. This results in the particles staying suspended for a longer time and thus contributes to a longer inertia time. This results in better re-ignition protection. Together these factors make PGA a very effective extinguishing agent. The extinguishing effect per unit weight is in the range of 3-10 times more effective than Halon.

Instructions

• Pull out the manual safety pin from the bottom of the unit (black round plastic ring).
• Take a starting position at a distance of one meter and point the device towards the base of the flame.
• Press the yellow start button once to activate the device. 
• Hold the fire extinguisher firmly and avoid sweeping movements. Approach the fire as it decreases in strength to extinguish it completely. It is important that all smoke (aerosol) lands on the fire.
