Positive DISPLACEMENT FOAM PROPORTIONER Minosse The King of the foam proportionersPOSITIVE DISPLACEMENT FOAM PROPORTIONER This is the most modern foam proportioner for large stationary plants, where it is required to stock large quantity of foaming agent to face the potential risk of a fre. These proportioners have been designed to overcome limits and disadvantages connected to the bladder tank systems, usual in the petrochemical industry: + Limited capacity, once the bladder tank is emplied, It takes a long time 10 refill it, offen in front of the fire. * Alimited range for accurate mixhg, typically not exceeding 1:5 * Expensive and complicated servicing, specially when it is necessary to replace the membrane In 1oofe¢ installations A postive displacement foam proportioner is made by coupling two positive displacement rolary machines through one shaft, where the larger one works as an hydraulic motor powered by the water flow, and the ) other is moved by the larger one and it supplies the J foam concentrate under pressure to the main d water line The mechanical coupling between the pumps grants that both machines turn at J ihe same speed, which means the percentage of the mixing Is known and J maintains a fixed value, given by the atic between the unit capacities of the two machines. This mixing ratio does not change with the water flow in a range well over 1:10, this baing a leading result among ail foam proportioners, ADVANTAGES: * Your fire fighting system can work for an indefinite time, as it can be refilled with foaming agent from any atmospheric tank, 8.9.: open drums delivered from a truck + The system maintains a precise mix value even with very small loads, as. In the case of only one monitor being used + One central foaming agent reservoir can be arranged fo supply different local systems, you are not obliged to keep large quantities of foaming agents in a variety of bladder fonks. *+ Your personnel is exposed to lower risk level since it can work and feed foaming agent at a longer distance from the fire, + A positive displacement mixer works with water pressure from 2to 16 bar, contrarily to the bladder tank, needing « minimum pressure of 65% of the nominal,ADJUSTABLE MIXING RATIO All models can be delivered on request with an adjustable mixing ratio (3% or 6%) which makes it possible to operate the system with any foaming agent available and can be a great advantage in a situation of danger.
