High energy foam production expands a given volume of water up to and over 20 times. Additionally, National Bureau of Standards testing indicates that a given volume of high-energy foam has up to 20 times the effective wetting capability of the same volume of plain water. Consider the potential effectiveness multiplier inherent in converting water to high-energy foam. The TRI-MAX KOLD CAF systems inject stored compressed air, both to propel the foam solution and to produce the high energy foam. All compressor systems are subject to mechanical failure, and require extensive maintenance.
Air coming directly out of a compressor is hot.
Therefore, the foam produces is hot. Since compressed air foam consists mostly of air, shooting hot foam at a fire which can lower the temperature so dramatically, that combustion is no longer possible. Technology is patented Stanley Manufacturing 4401 Indian Ave.
