    1. 124 Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS)

    2. 125 Compressed Air Foam System

    3. 126 CAFS Components

    4. 127 Complete Systems Fire pump manufacturers offer full CAFS packages. Components are assembled, tested and calibrated as a complete system.

    5. 128 Capabilities Superior absorption of heat Quick knockdown Light hose lines: (per 100 length) 1-1/2 Hose: Water - 103 lbs. CAFS - 35 lbs 2-1/2 Hose: Water - 271 lbs. CAFS - 84 lbs Extended stream reach Ability to make wet or dry foam Limitations Tradition and knowledge base Compressed Air Foam Systems

    6. 129 CAFS Is A Versatile Tool Limited only by the users imagination Think outside of the box Be progressive Be safe

    7. 130 Nozzles For CAFS Straight bore CAFS bubble Variable pattern nozzle foam solution

    8. 131 High energy system Can be pumped higher and further than water at same psi due to lack of head pressure Lower foam concentrate % required 0.2% - 0.3% vs. 0.5% CAFS Characteristics

    9. 132 Small strong uniform bubbles Greater foam durability Low expansion system User can easily adjust Expansion ratio Drain time Foam type CAFS Characteristics

    10. 133 Light weight hose Less strain on firefighters Effect on hose No water hammer Reduced friction loss Hose kinks Effective hose stream with kink CAFS Safety Characteristics

    11. 134 High volume air compressor Air tools Air bags Tires Drain hose Additional CAFS Benefits

    12. 135 Aerial CAFS Discharge

    13. 136 Thinking outside the box Bumper Turret CAFS Discharge

    14. 137 CAFS 5" Handline

    15. 138 Concentrate Delivery Systems Many different levels of technology are used to deliver todays water additives Fully understand the capabilities and limitations of each before deciding on a system
