Line Type Foam Liquid Proportioner

A Line Type Foam Liquid Proportioner is a device used in firefighting to mix foam concentrate with water in the correct proportion to produce foam for extinguishing fires. It is typically installed in a fire suppression system and is designed to deliver a consistent and accurate mixture of foam concentrate and water.

The proportioner works by using the water flow from the fire suppression system to draw in the foam concentrate and mix it with the water. The foam concentrate is usually stored in a separate tank and is connected to the proportioner through a foam concentrate line.

The proportioner is equipped with adjustable valves or controls that allow the user to set the desired foam concentrate-to-water ratio. This ratio is typically expressed as a percentage, such as 1%, 3%, or 6%, depending on the type of foam concentrate being used and the specific fire suppression requirements.

Once the foam concentrate and water are mixed in the proportioner, the resulting foam solution is then delivered to the fire suppression system, which can include foam generators, sprinkler heads, or other foam application devices.

Line Type Foam Liquid Proportioners are commonly used in industrial settings, such as oil refineries, chemical plants, and storage facilities, where there is a higher risk of flammable liquid fires. They are also used in airports, hangars, and other locations where aircraft firefighting is required.

It is important to regularly inspect and maintain Line Type Foam Liquid Proportioners to ensure they are functioning properly and delivering the correct foam concentrate-to-water ratio. This helps to ensure the effectiveness of the foam system in suppressing fires and protecting life and property.
