What is compressed air form system?
- May 10, 2024
A water-mist cum Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) is a firefighting system that delivers fire retardant foam to extinguish fires or protect unburned areas. It combines water, foam compounds, and compressed air to create foam, which is more effective than traditional water-based firefighting methods. In a CAFS, compressed air is added to a foam solution in a mixing chamber, actively expanding the foam. This expansion increases the foam’s surface area, allowing for better heat absorption and the ability to stick to flammable materials. As a result, CAF provides maximum cooling at the fire’s source...
