HIGH EXPANSION FOAM SYSTEM FOR THE ENGINE ROOM AND PUMP ROOM
MODEL: KASHIWA COMPANY LIMITED
High expansion Foam System makes full use of its extinguishing ability and has following effects:
a) Isolating Effect: the system will generate a large quantity of foam, isolate the area on fire fromother areas to prevent fire from expanding and extinguish in short time.
b) Cooling Effect: Water included in generated foam liquid can cool the heat in the area on fire anddecrease the atmospheric temperature for better extinguishment.
This system consists of following parts:
a) Foam GENERATOR:This consists of a spraynozzle, body andgenerating net. Whenthe system is runningseawater and foam mixgoes to the generatorand is sprayed towardthe net. Air is drawn infrom the generator inlet
and foam is produced atexpansion ratio of 1:600.
F
b) MIXING UNIT: The foam liquid ismixed with the seawater in aneductor. The foam liquid is drawnthrough a Diaphragm Control valveplaced in the piping of the foamliquid. This valve is used to obtain aconstant flow and mixing ratio.
