Foam System

Foam suppression is comprised of three parts foam concentrate ,water and air when mixed correctly, these parts from homogeneous foam blanket that extinguishes flames by the combined mechanism of cooling separating the flame source from the product service.

FOAM-WATER SPRINKLER SYSTEM

A special system that is pipe connected to a source of foam concentrate and to a water supply. The system equipped with appropriate discharge devices for extinguishing agent discharge and for distribution over the area to be protected. Systems can be used for discharge of water first, followed by discharge of foam for a specified period, and then followed by water until manually shut off. Existing deluge sprinkler systems that have been converted to the use of aqueous film-forming foam or film-forming fluoroprotein foam are classified as foam-water sprinkler systems. The piping system is connected to the water supply through a control valve that usually is actuated by operation of automatic detection equipment that is installed in the same areas as the sprinklers. When this valve opens, water flows into the piping system, foam concentrate is injected to the water, and resulting foam solution discharging through the discharge devices generates and distributes foam. Upon exhaustion of the foam concentrate supply, water discharge follows and continio us until shut off manually.

FOAM-WATER DELUGE SYSTEM

A foam-water sprinkler system employing open discharge devices, which are attached to a piping system that is connected to a water supply through a valve that is opened by the operation of a detection system, which is installed in the same areas as the discharge devices. When this valve opens, water flows into the piping system and discharges from all discharge devices attached thereto.

FOAM-WATER DRY PIPE SYSTEM

A sprinkler system employing automatic sprinklers or nozzles that are attached to a piping system that contains air or nitrogen under pressure, the release of which (as from the opening of a sprinkler) permits the water pressure to open a valve known as a dry pipe valve. The water then flows into the piping system and out the opened sprinklers.
