Ceasefire Cafs (Watermist Compressed Air Foam System - Low Pressure)

Water is fire’s oldest enemy. The best extinguishing agent known to man. It has a theoretical cooling ability of 2.6 MW per litre per second. But in a real fire situation, such tremendous cooling power can only be achieved with hundreds of litres of water. Because nearly 80% of the water escapes the fire zone without evaporating. Water’s immense firefighting power can be optimally utilised only by complete vaporisation in a fire environment. To achieve this, water must be broken down into microscopic molecules that have a surface area coverage many times higher than water. These droplets (about 150 micrometres in size) must then be delivered to the fire with a kinetic force strong enough to overcome fire’s own convection currents. The result: a powerful, reliable and efficient extinguisher. Ceasefire now brings together all these features and creates the Water mist based Compressed Air Foam System; the best firefighting weapon ever designed. Ceasefire's Water mist based Compressed Air Foam System features a high technology gun which breaks water up into miniscule droplets. These droplets are then delivered through micro nozzles with a high degree of dispersion onto the flames, allowing you to fight even very large fires successfully. Features: - Application: Works on Class A, B, and electrically started fires - Works on large fire: The gun in Ceasefire's Watermist Compressed Air Foam System breaks water up into minuscule droplets which are delivered through specialised nozzles dousing fire effectively - Increased protection: The mist also acts as the perfect barrier against thermal radiation - Thermal shock-proof: Does not cause cracks to structural elements, steel casings and power line ceramics, due to the nonexistence of thermal shock damage - Safe to use: No hazard to humans or damage to property due to low-pressure water mist of approx. 150 micron size, generated using plain water - Maximum efficiency: The mist's miniscule droplets of water 50 microns cover a larger surface - Controllable discharge: A simple squeeze grip activation mechanism allows you to control the discharge and optimise use of the extinguishing agent - EPDM rubber hose pipe: Superior grade EPDM rubber is far more flexible than the normal rubber used in most hosepipes. It is also far less prone to cracks - World-class quality: Comprehensive Helium Tests and Leak Tests also guarantee that the products you buy are manufactured according to the world's most stringent quality standards - 6 year Warranty: The 6 year Warranty means Ceasefire is looking out for the health of your fire safety products - Certifications: BSI Kitemark, and PED certified Specifications: GLOSSARY: FIRE EXT CAFS LOW PRESSURE FOAM MIST 9L SS CT RED PRODUCT CODES: CF-000781P AGENT: AFFF FOAM 6% STORED PRESSURE/CARTRIDGE: CARTRIDGE TYPE CERTIFICATION OR VERIFING BODY: EUROCERT, ERDA, AFTRL CERTIFICATION TYPE: PED,FIRE RATING CE MARKING/UK CA CE: YES CARTRIDGE SIZE: 2LTR ALLUMINIUM CYLINDER CYLINDER - 200BAR MINIMUM THROW DISTANCE: 12 METERS GROSS WEIGHT (APPROX): 23.80 TO 26.20 KG NET MASS: 8.55 TO 9.00 LTR DISCHARGE MECHANISM: SQUEEZE GRIP APPLICABLE ON FIRES: A, B & ELECTRICAL STARTED FIRE.
