A Carbon Dioxide (\text{CO}_2) fire extinguisher is a high-pressure fire suppression unit designed primarily for electrical fires and liquid fuel fires. It discharges non-conductive, non-corrosive \text{CO}_2 gas under high pressure, cooling the fuel and starving the fire of oxygen without leaving behind chemical residue or damaging delicate electronic equipment.
