AWG FIRE EXTINGUISHER – HIPRESS AND HICAFS
Posted by erindomegahprima on November 2, 2009
The extinguishing principle
By far the most of all fire fighting operations are against small fires. Extinguishing procedures used so far, involved lots of equipment and personnel and caused often devastating damage from extinguishing water.
The HiPress extinguisher eject water in microdrops and fight the fires without water damage. Small and handy, the HiPress 01/006 and 02/010 can carried everywhere, even by firemen wearing breathing apparatus. Thus they are quickly at the site of the fire and this means high efficiency with a minimum of personnel. Even burning liquids can be extinguished with special extinguishing additives.
Application for CAFS technology
By adding supplementary air the CAFS technology produces heavy foam with a homogeneous structure of bubbles, providing a very good adhesive power on burning substances. Mainly on vertical surfaces and on the ceiling the foam adheres long time and extinguishes thereby much more efficiently than water. The longer adherence binds more energy and at the same time an effect of asphyxiation is obtained by cutting off the supply of oxygen. Because of the low surface tension the extinguishing agent penetrates very quickly into the burning material and extinguishes thereby also glow’s nests. This reduces substantially the formation of smoke and the risk of re-ignition. HiCafs can be applied for fires of the classes A and B. Up to now this technique was realizable only in stationary installations. Now the technology is transformed into a portable high pressure extinguishing system. Thus now the same effect as ini steady CAFS-installations is obtained. Due to the high pressure the foam is applied uniformly and adheres even on window panes.
Advantages
Quick, easy and efficient fighting of fires without water damage. Fire classes A and B. Ideal for first attack, no time consuming positioning of fire hoses. Very high lancing distance allowing and excellent security distance to the burning object. Extinguishing jet can be dosed without back-stroke with extinguishing pistol compact and uncomplicated. Can be recharged very quickly and as often as necessary by the trained operator. It can be used as replacement for the stirrup pump on all vehicles. Minimal maintenance. All parts in non-corrosive or specialcoated materials allowing even the appliance with sea-water. Robust and long-life devices because of quality materials.
