Foam Fire Suppression System Design

Low expansion where the bubble expansion ratio is small less than 20 to 1 and the bubble contains a high water content.

Foam fire suppression system design.

Medium and high expansion where the expansion ratios are greater from 20 to 1 up to 1 000 to 1 at these expansion ratios the bubble water content is low and the bubble is relatively light. We design and install foam systems for new facilities and repair and inspect them in existing buildings. Foam pump design information. We make sure the fire suppression systems are designed so that the foam chemical is delivered to the target area in a controlled manner.

Chemguard foam systems can be designed and engineered for specific application requirements such as use in harsh environments. The foam adheres to the walls and ceilings to prevent the fire from spreading and shields the flammable liquid from any other heat sources. Storage tank protection with high flow monitors. Fixed or semi fixed fire protection systems for storage tanks.

Technical information and illustrations. For detailed information see chemguard s design manual. Dike and spill. Foam systems come in two types as follows.

Foam systems work by blanketing the fire and cutting off all oxygen. The foam blanket efficiently transports small amounts of water to the fire encapsulating the flammable vapors and causing suppression and extinguishment. Converting existing water sprinklers to foam.
