Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining the accuracy of a foam addition system on a firefighting vehicle are disclosed. The methods may include measuring the amount of a test water stream flowing through a foam metering device.

Claim (Index 13):
A firefighting vehicle comprising:\n a water tank for storing water; a mixing loop; a pump operably connected to the mixing loop; an eductor operably connected to the mixing loop; a first water line fluidly connecting the water tank to the mixing loop; a second water line fluidly connecting the water tank to a junction; a water valve operably connected to the second water line; a flow meter operably connected to the second water line; a foam tank for storing a liquid foam concentrate; a foam line fluidly connecting the foam tank to the junction; a foam valve operably connected to the foam line; a fluid metering device for metering fluid flow to the eductor; one or more discharge outlets for discharging liquid from the firefighting vehicle; and a flow control system shiftable between a normal mode and a test mode,\n wherein, during the normal mode, the flow control system closes the water valve and opens the foam valve such that the liquid foam concentrate flows, via the foam line, through the junction, through the fluid metering device, and to the eductor, and such that water flows, via the first water line, through the mixing loop to the eductor such that the water and liquid foam concentrate mixes at the eductor, and \n wherein, during the test mode, the flow control system opens the water valve and closes the foam valve such that water flows, via the second water line, through the flow meter, through the junction, through the fluid metering device, and to the eductor, and water flows, via the first water line, through the mixing loop to the eductor such that the water from the first water line and the water from the second water line mixes at the eductor.
