Compressed air foam system
Compressed air foam (CAF) is generated by the combination of compressed air, water and foam concentrate in the right proportions, to create a homogeneous foam solution similar to shaving cream.
Benefits of the CAF system
The CAF generation skid includes all hydraulic and electrical devices required for proper operation. The skids are of the freestanding type and made of stainless steel SS316 to meet the industry standard.
Industry recognition, worldwide acceptance
The CAF SYSTEM is a deluge-type system that uses a balanced piping network and can be activated by electric, pneumatic or manual release. The system can be configured with multiple mixing chambers and can have multiple zones.
- Significant reduction in foam and water requirements
- Reduced infrastructure requirements for fire protection
- Enhanced system performance
- Improved visibility in the hazard
- Engineered system
The CAF generation skid
The CAF generation skid includes all hydraulic and electrical devices required for proper operation. The skids are of the freestanding type and made of stainless steel SS316 to meet the industry standard.
Improved visibility in the hazard
In comparison to water-based systems, CAF’s unique physical properties significantly reduce steam production and thereby improve visibility during and after a fire.
The CAF blankets the fuel surface and therefore does not cause visual impairment often associated with high-expansion, total flooding foam systems.
