Strengthening Extinguishing Water
Foam Fire Extinguishing System Groups
There are basically three different application methods of foam extinguishing systems. Which method to choose depends on the type of hazard, application period, regulations, and technical characteristics of the substance or equipment to be protected.
Foam extinguishing systems are preferred when water extinguishing alone is not sufficient.
Detection – Activation – Application
Fully Automatic Foam Extinguishing System Types
While medium-expansion applications are used by firefighting teams, low and high-expansion applications are carried out by human-independent systems.
Basic System Components
Extinguishing Liquids
Foam Concentrates
Concentrated chemicals are used to cover burning surfaces, push oxygen and cool the fuel.

Fluorinated Synthetic Water Film Forming Foams
It is an aqueous film-forming foam concentrate consisting of a mixture of fluorocarbon, hydrocarbon surfactants and various solvents and stabilizers. Only C6 Pure fluorosurfactants are used in AFFF formulations. AFFF 3% uses the unique film forming effect to cut off the oxygen supply to the fire.
Alcohol Resistant Fluorinated Synthetic Water Film Forming Foams
It is an alcohol-resistant aqueous film-forming foam concentrate consisting of a mixture of fluorocarbon, hydrocarbon surfactants and polymers, various solvents and stabilizers. All AFFF-ARC foam concentrates are formulated with 100% C6 Pure fluoro-surfactants and fluoro-polymers.
High Expansion foam Concentrate
Viking 3% XMAX is a new generation high performance and multi-purpose foam concentrate. HIt can be used on hydrocarbon and solvent fires. This special foam, which does not contain fluorine, can be preferred in medium and low expansion applications. It is suitable for use with sea water and fresh water. With its 3% mixture ratio, it is extremely effective in extinguishing large-scale fires.
Foam Concentrates without synthetic fluoride
Due to environmental concerns and new legislation around the world, fluorine-free foam concentrates have become widespread. These new foam concentrates, which have PFAS1-free foams and can perform at the levels of traditional fluorinated (AFFF2) systems, can be used safely on both hydrocarbon and solvent fires.
Storage Units
Foam Tanks & Pumps
The dense foam concentrate is kept in a pressurized or atmospheric tank. In systems with a foam pump, dosing is provided at the correct rate with the pressure of the water.

Dosing & Mixing
Foam Proportioners
The concentrate is mixed in line with pressurized water at a predetermined rate, flow rate, and pressure.

Wide Range Proportioner
Wide-range proportions are connected to atmospheric or membrane foam tanks via an external, corrosion-resistant deluge valve. These proportioners are produced in the factory with fixed ratios of 1%, 3% and 6%. Since the friction loss is low during the passage of water and foam concentrate, it can operate at low pump pressure.
Venturi Type / Proportional Proportioners
This equipment ensures that a certain amount of foam concentrate is mixed into the water passing through it. Since the amount of foam to be mixed is proportional to the pressure and flow rate at that point, the calculation must be made very carefully. The pressure loss in these products is high due to the internal structure of the material.
Foaming Outlets
Discharge Units
The foam and water solution mixed in the proportioner is expanded with air at the injection point.

About System Approvals
All equipment that makes up the foam extinguishing system has a single system approval.
Activation of Foam Extinguishing Systems
Fire Detection System
Fire Detection Panel
Triggering of foam extinguishing systems occurs via a conventional panel.
Detectors
Two different independent detection lines are used using smoke, heat, or flame detectors.
Warning and Alarm Devices
Sirens and flashers are used inside and outside to evacuate the volume before extinguishing.
Supervisory Connections
The central detection system remotely monitors error and alarm information on the extinguishing panel.
Strengthening Extinguishing Water
CAF – Pressurized
Air Foam System
The amount of water used in this new technology, where a mixture in a different form is obtained by adding compressed air to the classical foam extinguishing mixing unit, has been significantly reduced. The most prominent feature of this system is that it eliminates the need for large water tanks and fire pumps. Drainage of the foam-water mixture is no longer a problem. This makes it easier to reactivate the protected equipment and site.
