    摘要: A system supplies compressed air and foam to produce a fire stream comprising an aerated foam. The system includes a fire pump, an air compressor, a mixer, and a controller for automatically maintaining a desired ratio of air and water delivered from the mixer to a fire stream delivery device. An electronic control unit is arranged to sense both the flow rate of the water delivered by the fire pump and the air flow rate delivered by the air compressor, and modulates an air pressure signal used to vary the flow of air to the inlet of the air compressor so as to hold the air flow rate and the water flow rate at the desired ratio.

    摘要: The present invention provides new compressed air foam systems for use as firefighting equipment. One compressed air foam system has a water inlet connected to a water flow path through the compressed air foam system. A water and foam chemical mixer is flow connected to the water inlet and has a foam chemical inlet and a water/foam chemical outlet. An air compressor is provided which has an air inlet, an air outlet, and an air flow controller at the air inlet. A foam mixer is flow connected to the water/foam chemical outlet of the water and foam chemical mixer and to the air outlet of the air compressor. The foam mixer has a foam outlet which provides firefighting foam to a fireman's hose for application to a fire. A control system has a sensor in sensing relationship with the water flow path through the compressed air foam system for sensing water flow. The control system is operatively connected to the air flow controller of the air inlet to the air compressor to the amount of air provided to the water/foam chemical mixture by restricting inflowing air into the air compressor.

    摘要: A fire suppression system having a plumbing assembly, an engine, a hose, an air-bleed valve, and a controller is provided. The controller includes a one-touch activation control. The controller is also configured to automatically activate the air-bleed valve to remove air within the hose to prevent user injury and damage to the fire suppression system. A fire suppression system that automatically configures the fire suppression system to output a predetermined fire suppression fluid composition upon actuation of a one-touch activation control is also provided. In addition, an integrated control system is provided to automatically configure a fire truck's interlock and shift pump operation.

    摘要: An improved ball valve assembly is provided for use on firefighting equipment and other applications. The ball valve assembly includes an improved seal assembly which includes both a load bearing seal element and a soft elastomeric seal element. Both seal elements are held in place by a seat member which is accommodated in a recess provided on the inside surface of the seat housing or valve body. The load bearing seal member provides support for the ball element and serves to wipe or remove debris from the ball element before the ball element engages the soft elastomer seal. As a result, the load bearing seal member removes the stress normally imparted to soft elastomer seals utilized in ball valve assemblies. Further, a lubrication fitting and passageways are provided which enable lubricant to be communicated through the housing and through the seal assembly to the ball element. The ball valve assembly may also be connected in-line between conduits using circular clamps thereby enabling the ball valve to be rotated about the central axis of the conduit for versatility in installation and positioning. The lubricant fitting may be incorporated into an overall lubrication system for lubricating other ball valves on the firefighting equipment. The ball valve assembly may also be connected to a relief valve and disposed between a firefighting pump and behind a protective panel or housing thereby disposing both the ball valve and relief valve behind a protective housing as opposed to outside of the housing or the truck body in an exposed position.
