HIGH EXPANSION FOAM GENERATOR

 

          Foam generator

GENERAL SPECIFICATION

The Excel 2000 is a lightweight High Expansion Foam Generator powered by a water turbine and capable of producing very large volumes of High Expansion Foam.  The Excel 2000 has its own built in foam induction system and thus only requires a pressurised water supply and synthetic foam concentrate supply to operate.  An additional feature is a water by pass system which permits control of the expansion rate allowing performance to be maintained at high back pressures.  The Excel 2000 is capable of ducting foam to heights in excess of 15 metres.

APPLICATIONS

Total flood applications such as found in warehouses, ships holds etc.  Replacing Halon Gas in certain specialist installations including computer suites and electronic data processing areas.  Hazardous areas such as found in chemical process plants and mines, (the Excel 2000 is powered by a water driven turbine).  Specialised applications also exist such as the vapour suppression of Hazardous Material spills, blanketing LNG spill fires and tank inerting.
