Overview

Hot Foam systems supplied by Tyco Fire & Integrated Solutions are especially convenient for use within Power & Transmission plant equipment rooms where a an existing system is also a requirement as it reduces overall cost of both systems while simplifying maintenance and operator training.

The Tyco Hot Foam system uses hot air from inside the plant machinery rooms to generate high expansion foam for smothering the fire and in addition offers the temperature reduction effects of water fog. The foam extinguishes the fire as it fills all void spaces, effectively starving the fire of oxygen while cooling down the surrounding areas.

Hot foam generators operate by induce hot air from inside the plant equipment rooms to create Hot Foam with an expansion ratio of 1 - 666.

The system can be operated automatically or manually from the main control room, or if required, remotely from control stations around the power plant. In its simplest form the system can be operated by opening the valves and starting the fire pump; followed by the foam pump after a short delay.
