General information
THE NAFFCO CAFS 400G Compressed Air Foam Fire
Suppression System uses compressed air to propel fire fighting foam.
Thousands of tight radius bubbles quickly cool and smother a fire by
providing a thick vapor-sealing blanket of foam that virtually
eliminates re-ignition. The foam will adhere to horizontal and
vertical surfaces. This system allows the operator to seal a fuel spill
and flammable vapors with foam thus reducing or eliminating a
potential fire. The system will discharge the foam approximately 25-30
meters. in a no wind condition allowing fire fighting personnel without
protective clothing to avoid thermal injuries. Trained personnel can
accomplish all maintenance except the hydrostatic pressure testing of
the Air Cylinders, Premix Tank, and the Discharge Hose.

Transporting :
The NAFFCO CAF400 Gallons / 500 Gallons should be thoroughly
secured when transporting in trailers and vehicle. The lifting eye was
fixed on the top of the Skid exclusively to handle and external lift
operations. Other sections of the system should not be use for these
purposes.
System components :
- PRESSURE GAUGE for air cylinder indicates
the pressure in the high pressure air cylinder when the cylinder valve
is opened prior to operation of the unit.
- PRESSURE GAUGE for foam tank indicates the
pressure inside the foam tank.
- SELECTOR KNOB is used to select the foam
discharge mode of two options namely, Dry Foam & Wet Foam
- AIR CYLINDERS are high pressure air
cylinders tested at 250 Bar. The system has 6 Air Cylinders.
- AIR CYLINDER VALVE is used to adjust the
air flow from the Air Cylinder for the unit. It has a special adapter
to make it convenient for easy dismantling and refilling of the
cylinder with compressed air.
- FOAM DISCHARGE GUN is 1” & 1-1/2”
suitable for wet or dry foam flow.
- PRESSURE RELEASE CONTROLLER is located on
the control panel, used to depressurize the premix tank after use of
the unit.
- DISCHARGE CONTROLLER is opened by operating
lever in the control panel for flow of the foam towards the discharge
gun.
- FOAM DISCHARGE HOSE is 1” & 1-1/2”X30
meter lay flat fire hose with storz coupling
- LEVEL INDICATOR IS LOCATED in the control
panel for low or high level indication of foam solution in the tank.
