Operating Pressure for Eductors
  
These eductors are designed to achieve rated flow with an inlet pressure of 200 psi. They will operate at lower inlet pressures than this, but the flow rate and percentage rate will be affected. For more technical information on these eductors, call for our operating and maintenance instructions(Form No. EB-98069).
  
Check List if Eductor Fails to Pick Up Foam
  
These eductors are very basic in design and very easy to operate. However, there are many other conditions and situations that can cause the eductor to fail in picking up foam concentrate. If this happens check the following:
  • Mismatched nozzle
  • Partially closed nozzle
  • Clogged nozzle
  • Hose lay too long
  • Metering valve closed
  • Nozzle elevated too high
  • By-pass valve open
  • Ball check stuck
  • Metering valve clogged
  • Plugged pickup screen
  • Metering valve set improperly
  • Kink in hose

 
Foam Aeration Tubes
Foam Aeration Tube Group Photo
There are occasions in fire suppression when greater expansion rates of foam solution are needed; such as when polar solvent fuels are involved; when using protein or fluoroprotein foam; or when securing a spill. For these special situations a foam aeration tube can be quickly and easily attached to most of our combination fog nozzles in order to acheive a higher expansion rate of the foam solution; up to 15:1 in some cases.
