CAFS (compressed air foam) has superior foam quality and highest extinguishing power with small quantities.
Under the influence of compressed air, a simple water-foam mixture will be mixed in the FLASH CAFS central unit into highly efficient CAF foam. The mixing chamber is protected against environmental influences, thus fire fumes cannot influence foam building.
The air required for foam expansion will be provided by compressed air bottles. In this way the system requires no external energy - it is completely self-sufficient.
Benefits
CAFS enables fast and safe extinguishing for optimum plant protection.
- Consistently stable foam quality
- Foam sticks to hot surfaces - also vertically
- Rapid smothering of the flames through oxygen deprivation
- Deep penetration into the burning material by reducing the surface tension of water
- Increased safety against back-burning and sustainable cooling through compact CAFS foam structure
- Lower application rates for efficient fire fighting and limiting water damage
- Extensive extinguishing agent quantity through active foam expansion to CAFS
