1. Product Overview & Core Advantages

1.1 Product Overview

The PY Series Semi-Fixed Portable Foam Fire Extinguishing Device is an innovative, flexible fire suppression solution designed as a supplement to fixed fire extinguishing systems. Its working principle is straightforward: when pressurized water flows through the proportioner, a negative pressure is formed in the mixing chamber, drawing foam concentrate from the tank via the suction pipe. The concentrate mixes with water at a preset ratio to form a foam mixture, which is then discharged as foam through the foam gun to extinguish fires. It is specifically engineered to combat Class A (solid substances, fusible solids) and Class B (flammable liquids) fires, and can be easily connected to water supply equipment such as fire hydrants via built-in hoses. With its portable design, it can be placed in optimal fire-fighting positions to protect multiple pieces of equipment in the protected area, making it widely applicable in oil depots, petrochemical enterprises, oil pump rooms, offshore platforms, gas garages, airports, ports, and other high-risk locations.

1.2 Core Advantages

Portable & Flexible: Lightweight and easy to move, it can be quickly deployed to fire sources in diverse locations, overcoming the limitations of fixed fire-fighting systems.

Quick Startup & Simple Operation: No complex installation required-just connect to fire hydrants and foam guns, and start extinguishing fires immediately, saving critical response time.

Adjustable Mixing Ratio: Supports a foam mixing ratio of 1-6%, adaptable to different foam concentrate types and fire scenarios for optimal extinguishing efficiency.

Superior Performance: Boasts an expansion ratio of ≥5 and a foam range of ≥18m, ensuring wide coverage and effective fire suppression from a safe distance.

Low Maintenance & Reusable: Easy to clean and maintain; leftover foam concentrate can be reused after use, reducing waste and operational costs.

Broad Compatibility: Compatible with standard fire hydrants and matching foam guns provided by CA-FIRE, ensuring seamless integration with existing fire protection infrastructure.

3. Installation & Maintenance Instructions

3.1 Preparation & Operation Steps

Foam Concentrate Filling: Open the foam concentrate filling cap, pour the concentrate into the storage tank using a hand pump or electric pump, and close the cap once the specified volume is reached.

Deployment: Move the device to a suitable position near the fire source and water supply (e.g., fire hydrant).

Hose Connection: Connect one end of the hose to the fire hydrant and the other end to the proportioner's inlet. Connect another hose between the proportioner's outlet and the foam gun.

Fire Extinguishing: Fully unroll the hoses, aim the foam gun at the fire source, open the fire hydrant, and turn on the control valve for the foam concentrate suction pipe. The foam gun will spray foam to suppress the fire.

Post-Fire Shutdown: After extinguishing the fire, close the fire hydrant and disconnect the hoses.

3.2 Maintenance Tips

Cleaning After Use: Thoroughly rinse the proportioner, foam gun, and hoses with clean water to remove foam residue and prevent clogging or corrosion.

Storage: Once hoses are dry, fold them and store in the hose box; place the foam gun back in its original position, and move the entire device to the designated storage location.

Foam Concentrate Management: Reuse leftover foam concentrate after use; when refilling, use the same brand and type of concentrate from the same manufacturer. Replace the concentrate before it exceeds its service life.

Regular Inspection: Periodically check that all components (proportioner, hoses, foam gun, tank) are complete, intact, and free from damage or leaks.

3.3 Important Notes

Ensure the selected foam concentrate's mixing ratio matches the proportioner's specified range (1-6%)-mismatched ratios will reduce foaming effect and fire-extinguishing performance.

Use only the matching foam gun provided by CA-FIRE, ensuring its flow rate is compatible with the device's flow rate (4 L/s for PY4/XX, 8 L/s for PY8/XX).

Do not mix different types of foam concentrates in the tank; fill only one type of concentrate at a time.

4. Packaging & Transportation

Our products are carefully packaged using export-standard wooden crates or wooden pallets to ensure safe transportation. This packaging method provides stability, prevents damage during handling, and guarantees that all items arrive at the customer's location in excellent condition.

5. Application Scenarios

Oil & Gas Industry: Oil depots, oil pump rooms, fuel storage facilities, gas garages, and offshore platforms.

Petrochemical Enterprises: Chemical plants, refineries, and flammable liquid processing workshops.

Transportation & Infrastructure: Airports (aircraft maintenance areas, fuel depots), ports, and shipping terminals.

Industrial Facilities: Manufacturing plants, workshops, and storage areas for fusible solids or flammable liquids.

Commercial & Public Areas: Large warehouses, logistics centers, and industrial parks with mobile fire protection needs.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can this device be used with any fire hydrant?A: Yes, it is compatible with standard fire hydrants. Ensure the hydrant's water pressure (0.6-1.0MPa) matches the device's working pressure requirements for optimal performance.

Q: How often should the foam concentrate be replaced?A: The replacement cycle depends on the concentrate's shelf life (consult the concentrate manufacturer). We recommend inspecting the concentrate annually and replacing it if it deteriorates (e.g., discoloration, stratification) or exceeds its service life.

Q: Is the device suitable for outdoor use in low temperatures?A: The storage temperature range is 2℃-49℃. For outdoor use in temperatures below 2℃, take antifreeze measures (e.g., storing the device in a heated area when not in use) to prevent damage to components or foam concentrate.

Q: Can I use a non-CA-FIRE foam gun with this device?A: We do not recommend it. Only use the matching foam gun provided by CA-FIRE to ensure flow rate compatibility and optimal foaming effect-non-matching guns may reduce fire-extinguishing performance.

Q: How many people are needed to operate this device?A: It can be operated by 1-2 people. One person can connect the hoses and control the fire hydrant, while the other aims the foam gun at the fire source, ensuring efficient and quick deployment.
