Patent ID: 11795667

Abstract:
A mobile water/fluid collection, recirculation management apparatus and system for the promotion of best and safest practices by firefighting engineers, candidates fire departments, agencies, colleges and academies as well as for the NFPA (National Pire Protection Agency) recommended annual testing of other apparatuses, pumps, and appliances, which allows for engineers and candidates to train and practice their requisite evolutions and drills using full-flow water/fluids at full and various pressures including, but not limited to, drafting, flowing hand lines, deck guns, ground monitors, aerials and ladder pipes, nozzles and appliances while returning the water/fluid to the apparatus via direct and indirect connections. All returning water/fluids encounter the diffuser screen that is internal and integral to the unit and/or via the roof target and associated diffuser. Included is a removable, portable training fire hydrant which allows for the engineers and candidates to get real world driver training including spotting the hydrant and the race for water training elements, requiring the engineer/candidate to stop in the right spot, hook up the correct hoses from their engine to the hydrant directly to the invention apparatus, to pump and flow water safely, accurately and efficiently, and, once filled with the requisite water/fluid, it is ready for continuous recirculation, training or testing evolutions without overheating the water/fluid, because it is continuously cooled passively with the diffusers in an open loop design.
