The way they work is to trap hot burning gasses until the cool to a level that reduces the cuncosion of hot gas hitting cool or room temprature air.
Suppressors have nothing to do with temperature.

They reduce the amplitude of the pressure that comes from the barrel by stretching the pulse out.

Firing any gun in an environment with flammable vapors (acetone, ether, gasoline, etc.) can set of an explosion you may not survive.
