FOAMPRO 2001 / 2002 System Description

The FoamPro system 2001 / 2002 is an electric motor driven, flow based proportioning system. The system will accurately deliver foam concentrate to the injection point from 0.1 to 3.0%. A flow meter measures the water flow and sends a signal to the digital display control module.

Another sensor monitors the foam pump output.

Constant comparison of the two information signals ensures the selected proportioning ratio over flow rates of 20 2000 Lpm at all times.

Slide 2

FOAMPRO 2001 / 2002 System Description

Foam is injected directly into the discharge side of the appliance pump, check valves are used to prevent contamination of the appliance pump and first aid tank. Control and monitoring are achieved by two visual display units mounted on the pump panel.
