FoamLogix
The FoamLogix 2.1 foam proportioning system consists of three main components:
1) Foam Pump / Motor Assembly, mounted on top of the unit.
2) Control Panel, mounted on the side of the unit.
3) Flow measurement and injection manifold, mounted on top of the unit.
All three parts work together to provide accurate and reliable foam proportioning. From the
control panel, the operator can turn the system on, adjust the foam injection percentage,
read real time water flowrate and record total water and foam usage.
The FoamLogix system is powered up when the engine is started. Foam agent is only
injected when the red
ON
control button is depressed
Hale FoamLogix foam proportioning systems are completely engineered; factory matched
foam-proportioning systems that provide reliable, consistent foam concentrate injection for
Class A foam operations. Hale FoamLogix systems accurately deliver from 0.1% to 9.9%
foam concentrate directly into the water discharge stream. It is then fed as foam to the mixing
chamber and discharge piping.
Manifold
The manifold incorporates an air ratio control valve at which varying wet or dry foam mixtures
can be selected. Compressed air is then injected and the resulting foam/water/air mixture is
mixed by passing through the X-mixer section before being fed to a discharge connection.
CAFS units are best suited for use with Fresh Water. For compatibility of foams in salt water
conditions advice should be sought from the foam agent manufacturers.
The unit is provided with several drain taps located at the bottom of the frame that can be
opened to drain water from the manifold and compressor cooling system. This should be
done whenever the unit is not intended to be used for a prolonged period (1 week+).
