Advantages

Kanex water mist cum compressed air foam system (CAFS) is used in firefighting to deliver fire retardant foam for the purpose of extinguishing a fire or protecting unburned areas.
A compressed air foam system is defined as a system that has an entry point where compressed air can be added to a foam solution to generate foam. The air cylinder also provides force which propels compressed air foam mixture farther distance than standard extinguisher.
It is proven that CAFS attacks all three sides of the fire triangle simultaneously.
During active foam expansion, a single water drop is distributed across multiple foam bubbles, which results in a larger surface area for heat absorption.
The CAFS solution adheres to burning surfaces , more readily aiding in rapid reduction in heat. As a result, a large part of the water bound in the CAF is able to evaporate, thus providing maximum cooling at the seat of the fire.
The oxygen is displaced from the flammable material through evaporation of the water.
A natural separating layer is created between the flammable material and the oxygen as a result of the CAF foam. Thus the oxygen supply to the seat of the fire is interrupted in the best possible way.
Also a major advantage of using CAFS is having the unique ability to produce a wide range of foam qualities or foam types to provide the most appropriate foam response to individual fire situations.
