Foam systems for fire fighting

Why is foam used in fire fighting? What type of Fire Would you use a foam fire extinguisher? What is fire fighting system and its importance? How does firefighting foam work? Firefighting foam is a foam used for fire suppression.

Its role is to cool the fire and to coat the fuel, preventing its contact with oxygen, resulting in suppression of the combustion.

The surfactants used must produce foam in concentration of less than. Other components of fire-retardant foams are organic solvents, foam stabilizers, and corrosion inhibitors. National Foam has historically been at the forefront of foam fire fighting and fire control technology and is the acknowledged world leader in providing foam based solutions. Fighting fire with foam Hale has a variety of foam equipment options and CAFs foam systems that use flow-based foam concentrate proportioning systems with digital controls, making them simple to use for anyone on your firefighting crew. Concentration of the foam is automatically adjusted according to your desired presets.

It is important that the foam system is kept in a state of readiness at all times. For doing so, we must know how we are supposed to maintain these equipment and what tests we must perform. Fire Fighting Foam We offer a full range of high quality fire fighting foams of both synthetic and protein base.

While we produce different foam systems based on capacity and effectiveness there are multiple foam agents which are needed for different fire types and combustible material. The available foam types are Protein Foam, Fluroroprotein Foam, Aqueous Film Forming Foam ( AFFF ), Medium and High Expansion Foam, Sythetic Foam, Film Forming Fluroprotein (FFFP), Alcohol Resistant Foam and now also available are Eco-Friendly Foam. FOAA fire fighting foam is simply a stable mass of small air-filled bubbles, which have a lower density than oil, gasoline or water.

Foam is made up of three ingredients - water, foam concentrate and air. When mixed in the correct proportions, these three ingredients form a homogeneous foam blanket. NoFoam Systems NoFoam Systems is a “green technology” company focused on providing proprietary equipment for regulatory compliance testing of fire fighting foam systems. We provide certified ARFF testing without the use of foam , which dramatically decreases your environmental impact and while saving you the cost of clean up. The foam is used to help control damage in the event of a fire and.

Fire Protection Foam System, isolates the oxygen, from the fire or fuel. In case of fire the Quartzoid Bulb sprinkler shall burst due to heat which allow water in the detection pipe to drain out and in process allow the Deluge valve to open fully. By using foam you can extend the usefulness of a limited water supply and make your fire protection system 3-times more effective than with plain water alone!

Powerful CAFS firefighting equipment CAFS stands for Compressed Air Foam System and is a system for the production of high-quality CAF (Compressed Air Foam ), which is used to fight solid and liquid fires. The Waterous Around-The-Pump (RTP) Foam System is a simple and inexpensive way to add foam capability to all discharges of the fire pump. The Waterous RTP Foam System consists of an eductor (jet pump) and panel mounted foam proportioning valve.

ARCs are the most versatile of the fire fighting foam agents in that they are effective on fires involving polar solvents like methanol as well as hydrocarbon fires such as gasoline.

Mixing Foam Systems with Water. A foam system requires proportioning equipment to mix the foam with water in the required concentration.
