Q
Class A Foam
- How it works - How it’s applied - How king it lasts
A
- consists of hydrocarbon surfactant molecules reducing surface tension of the water allowed better absorption of water into fuels. Becomes carbon-loving and emulsifying solution allowing better absorption and wetting.
- standard combination nozzle and low-expansion foam nozzle (used to pre-treat structures for Wildland firefighting.
- 1 hour hot weather, 4 hours cool weather
25
Foam Percentages (Wildland)

26
Foam Pumps We Have
HALE FoamPro 2001 E134,
PIERCE Huskey 12 (E135, KME)
HALE FoamMaster
-Automatic proportioning, direct injected
27
How Foam Pump Works
- Flow meter measure water flow and sends info to control module.
- Flow meter is compared to foam pump output to maintain desired percentage regardless of pump intake or discharge pressures.
- Foam is injected directly into stream on DISCHARGE side.
28
4 elements of good foam production
Foam Concentrate
Water
Air
Mechanical Agitation
29
In-Line Foam Eductors
- eductor and nozzle hydraulically matched
- foam concentrate matches setting on eductor
- use properly sized supply line for eductor avoiding kinks
- avoid elbows when connecting eductor and never gate down
- Intake for eductor is 150 psi. Nozzle and eductor GPM must match.
- Angus FD450H Eductor rated flow 120 GPM at 100psi
30
Foam Application Rate
Determines GPM flow needed to extinguish certain size flammable liquid spill
.10 GPM x fire per square foot (FSF)
.10 GPM = gallons per minute of foam solution needed per 1 square foot of fire
Ex: 1200 square foot spill on fire
.10 x 1200 = 120 GPM to extinguish fire
31
Determining total amount of foam concentrate needed (FCN)
Foam percentage x eductor GPM (number from FAR) x time (min of 10 minutes)
- example: 3% foam concentrate x 120 GPM= 3.6 gallons of foam concentrate needed
3. 6 gallons x 10 minutes = 36 total gallons
***maximum size for one eductor is 1200 sq. Ft.
***one 5-gallon jug at 3% covers about 1200 sq ft. One time
32
Estimating Spill Size for Foam Application
1 Gallon = 32 square feet (4x8’)
5 Gallon = 144 square feet (12’x12’)
55 Gallon = 1200 sq. Feet
-Clean gutter takes 30 feet per gallon
Dirt/Unclean surface
- 1 square foot = 1 gallon
- 5 square feet = 25 square feet
- 55 gallon 490 square feet
33

48
How a turbocharger works
Exhaust exiting the exhaust manifold spins a turbine that is connected by a rod to compressor turbine wheel. The compressor wheel spins, drawing in and compressing air. Air is then drawn through an inter cooler to cool the air (more available O2) before entering the intake manifold.
49
5 main things needed by fuel injection system
1. Meter correct quantity of fuel injected
2. Time start and finish if fuel injection correctly
3. Control rate of fuel injection

Low Air: 55-75 PSI
Emergency: 20-45 PSI
Static - 2 PSI in 1 minute
Applied: 3 PSI in 1 minute
```
62
Brake chamber function
Service side: when pedal is depressed, air is forced behind a diaphragm which in turn pushes the push rod. The push rod moves the slack adjuster rotating the S-cam in drum brakes or a “power screw” in disc brakes.
Parking/Emergency side: a large spring is held back by air in the parking side of the chamber. When the yellow knob is pulled, it allows air to escape the chamber and the large spring extends, mechanically pushing the push rod and holding the brakes.

69
Rotary Vane Pump

Determining Discharge in GPM formula (smooth bore and difference for open butt)
Discharge = 30 x diameter (squared) x square root of NP
Open butt is same but multiply by 0.9 cause of 90% efficiency
85
Discharge from sprinklers GPM equation
Discharge = (1/2pressure + 15) x number of flowing heads
86
Net Pump Discharge Pressure
Actual amount of pressure being produced by the pump; difference between the intake pressure and the discharge pressure.
NPDP= Pressure Discharge Pressure - Intake Reading
87
Pump Discharge Pressure
Actual pressure of the water as it leaves the pump and enters the hose line; total amount of pressure being discharged by a pump. In mathematical terms, it is the pump intake pressure plus the net pump discharge pressure. Measured in PSI.
PDP=NP + Total Pressure Loss
88
Equation for relay pumping (determine number of pumpers)

89
Reasons for relay pumping
1. Water supply inadequate
2. pressure requirements too much for one pumper
3. pressure greater than hoselines can handle
4. Distance between fire and supply is excessive
90
