Characteristic
The ROSENBAUER CLASS-A proportioning system is designed to admix foam agent to extinguish class-A fire in a better way. Apart from the well-known facts of the fire extinguishing performances of foam, in fact the cooling effect and separation of oxygen and the burning material, is the reduction of the surface tension of water a further advantage of class-A foam. This low surface tension allows a high penetration of the burning material by the water of the foam. Another great feature of class-A foam is the very high affinity to the carbon-atoms of the burning material. The ROSENBAUER CLASS-A proportioning system is conceived to admix the class-A specific foam proportioning rate form about 1%. Proportioning rates below 1% (e.g. 0,1%, 0,2%....) can also be admixed with the ROSENBAUER CLASS-A proportioning system.

The ROSENBAUER CLASS A- proportioning system benefits:

  • Alternatively mounted at a NP-, HP- outlet or at the monitor line.
  • High throwing rate in case of using HP class-A or -B foam agent.
  • Simply operation
  • Class-A or -B foam agents can be used
The result of using the ROSENBAUER CLASS-A proportioning system is a reduction of extinguishing time and extinguishing agent volume at all class-A fires.
 
Technical data

The continuous measurement of the volumetric flow of the extinguishing water at the class-A foam outlet is an integrated component of the ROSENBAUER CLASS-A proportioning system. An electronic control unit works out the volume of the admixed foam agent cyclically, depending on the adjusted admixing rate and the delivery rate of extinguishing water. The speed of the driving engine and in the following the delivery rate of the foam agent pump is controlled by the electronic control unit. The foam agent pump delivers the foam concentrate to the class-A outlet and ensures the differential pressure to inject the foam agent into the extinguishing water.

The ROSENBAUER CLASS-A proportioning system enables to generate foam on the NP and HP level. In case of using foam on the HP level the whole output rate of pure extinguishing water can be taken off at the NP level for other fire- fighting operations.
