FOAM EXTINGUISHING SYSTEM

​

Foam extinguishing is a type of extinguishing when foam is used to extinguish a fire. This extinguishing agent has an enhanced wetting properties and makes it possible to combat specific fires effectively.

​

Advantages of foam extinguishing:

• Ensuring the extinguishing effect with less water. The foam forms the composition of the air bubbles. Air bubbles release oxygen from the burning surface. Depending on the multiplicity (multiplicity means the volume ratio of foam to emulsion), the amount of water can be reduced 4 to 1000 times to achieve the extinguishing effect.

• Cools the burning surface;

• Extinguishing fires on large areas. As the foam flows smoothly over the surface, there is no need for a large number of foam generators / drents.

• Possibility of bulk deletion. This is possible with the use of high quality foam.

• Foam extinguishing is especially effective in extinguishing petroleum products. There is a surface and subsurface foam extinguishing method.   

• Low density.

• High wetting feature.

​

Foaminess is an important key indicator. Multiplicity means how much

volume in liters occurs  foam from one  per liter of foam emulsion.

• Low foaming is up to 20;

• The average foam frequency is between 20 and 200;

• The high foam ratio is 200 to 1000;

​

Main components of foam extinguishing systems:

• Foam generators (nozzles, foam generators, foam monitors, etc.)

• Foam dispensers;

• Foam tanks;

• Fire pumps;
