Products Description

Fire Equipment Foam Chamber

forede ® Fire equipment foam chamber is an essential tool used in firefighting to efficiently and effectively suppress fires caused by flammable liquids, such as oil and petrol. This device works by mixing foam concentrate with water to produce foam that suffocates the fire by excluding oxygen and cooling the fuel surface.

The foam chamber is typically installed on top of a tank or on a pipeline where flammable liquids are stored or transported. When a fire occurs, the foam chamber automatically activates to release foam and cover the liquid surface, thus forming a foam blanket that puts out the fire. This process is highly effective in preventing the spread of fire and minimizing damage to property and human lives.

One of the main advantages of using a foam chamber is its ability to quickly and efficiently suppress fires involving flammable liquids. Unlike traditional methods like water or dry chemical agents, foam creates a thick blanket that sticks to the fuel surface and extinguishes the fire rapidly. This not only helps in saving valuable time but also reduces the risk of re-ignition.

FAQ

1.What is a foam chamber?

Foam Chamber is designed to discharge expanded foam directly onto the surface of a flammable or combustible liquid for fire extinguishment. Classified as a Type II discharge device in accordance with NFPA Standard 11, foam chamber delivers low expansion foam directly onto the fuel surface.

2. How the foam chamber creates foam?

The Foam Chamber creates foam by mixing a foaming agent with water under pressure. When the mixture is released through the chamber, it expands and aerates, creating a thick layer of foam. This foam is effective in suppressing fire and reducing heat, making it a valuable tool for firefighting.

3. In which industries are foam chambers mainly used?

Foam chambers are mainly used in industries such as petrochemical, oil and gas, aviation, and firefighting. These industries utilize foam chambers to suppress flammable liquid fires efficiently and effectively. Foam chambers play a crucial role in ensuring safety and preventing disasters in these industries.

4. What is the role of a foam chamber in a fire protection system?

A foam chamber plays a crucial role in a fire protection system by producing a blanket of foam to suppress and extinguish fires quickly and efficiently. It helps prevent the spread of fire and minimizes damage to property and assets.
