Product Description
The innovatively designed HL120 Mobile Foam Unit is a fully self-contained mobile unit, which has been specifically developed for the rapid deployment of foam extinguishing agent to fires and chemical spills. Further refinement has been achieved through a detailed ergonomic review and lower centre of gravity design, resulting in improved handling and mobility.
Requiring only connection to a suitable water supply, the standard unit comprises a 120 litre foam concentrate tank AWG Z2 Foam inductor and AWG S2 low expansion foam branch pipe. Also 15 m length of coiled 45 mm diameter Firecheck fire hose, fitted with light alloy 2.5 inch instantaneous couplings to BS336 (other connections available to special order. A shut off ball valve is also fitted to the branch pipe as standard to facilitate swift operation by just one person.
This improved performance, combined with an effective firefighting capability, makes the HL 120 ideal for the protection of flammable liquid hazards such as boiler rooms, oil storage and loading terminals, paint or spirit stores, airfields, industrial sites, generator rooms and similar high risk areas. The HL 120 provides a compact and highly efficient fighting unit on hand for a fast response with minimum manpower requirements.
This highly versatile unit is suitable for use with any type of foam concentrate, but is particularly effective when used with Sthamex Moussol APS foams where it effectively becomes an AF240 due to the induction rate, doubling the operating time on Polar Solvent fires.
The ability to use AWG M2 and AWG M4 medium expansion foam branch pipes with this unit, makes it particularly suitable for rapid intervention in cases where vapour suppression of chemical spills is a necessity.
OPERATING TIME
Using RLF4, Sthamex AFFF, Fluorofoam or Sthamex Moussol APS concentrates and HI-COMBAT F225/HU branchpipes at 3% induction rates, the HL 120 Mobile Foam Unit provides a typical operating time of 16 – 22 minutes, dependent on operating pressure.
