An extinguishing system for all applications

One Seven® is a highly efficient extinguishing system which can be used for the effective, safe and fast extinguishing of even problematic fires. Due to this efficiency, only a low quantity of extinguishing agent, which means water and foam concentrate, will be required.

What is One Seven®?

For years, the One Seven® extinguishing system has been used highly effectively within the field of mobile and stationary firefighting. The system is available for any application range and its size and capacity can be adjusted to the respective requirements. The leadership of the German market with the One Seven® system proves our competency. The handling and the special features of the extinguishing agent have proven itself. Furthermore, we managed to transfer the various possibilities of the One Seven® foam onto stationary extinguishing systems.

One drop of water

will be transformed into seven foam bubbles

With One Seven® you are able to save lives, protect property and everyone goes home safely.

The One Seven® foam features ideal flowing abilities

One Seven® extensively fights the fire. Due to the high energy, the extinguishing agent can deeply penetrate into the fuel. The temperature will quickly and effectively be reduced due to the 7-fold enlarged surface area of the bubbles and the subsequent heat absorption ability. The good adhesive abilities additionally provide an extended heat transmission. The fuel will be effectively subdued by the One Seven® compressed air foam and it will be separated from the oxygen. One Seven® is the only extinguishing agent which effectively fights all of the fire factors simultane-ously.

One Seven® compact foam generator of the Third Generation: Compact, high process reliability, higher efficiency

How is the One Seven® system designed?

For nearly all operations like

- room fires, - apartment fires, - house fires, - vehicle fires, - wildfires, - polar and non-polar liquid fires or - fires at electrical plants,

One Seven® has clearly proven that it works faster with less water and without the usual water damage. Simultaneously, less deconta-minated water requires disposal.

Car fire extinguished within 31 seconds!

Interior attack Test: liquid fire

Firefighting at wildfires

One Seven® is a combination of centrifugal pump, foam propor-tioner, compressor and patented compact foam generator with mixing chamber. An ideal extinguishing effect will be guaranteed by the harmonised components together with the highly efficient foam concentrate and the nozzles. Due to innovative measuring and regulation technology, manual adjustments by the operator are not necessary anymore. By a simple one-button operation it is possible to easily and safely operate the system even under pressure. The problem of the phase separation of compressed air and water / foam concentrate in the hose is a known phenomenon and can be avoided during the interior attack tactic known as „Pulse Technique”, with One Seven®. You will always get a homoge-neous and reproducible foam structure.

The One Seven® system is the most efficient firefighting system in the 21st century.

One system – many operation possibilities

The safety of firefighters will be considerably increased due to:

- the simple one-button operation for the operator

- the extremely fast cooling of the fire gases

- reduced burn and scald risk for the operating crew

- safe attack distance due to large throwing distances

- better sight due to reduced smoke

- reduced reignition danger

- safe operation in electrical plants

- better handling of the hose due to less weight

Advantages that save lifes!

One Seven® as mobile solution

The capacity will be determined by different compressor capacities depending on the require-ments:

• OSC1-100B 1x1.5“outlet

• OSC2-200B 2x1.5“outlet

• OSC2-110B 1x1.5“outlet+1x2.0“outlet

• OSC3-120B 1x1.5“outlet+2x2.0“outlet

Within the field of mobile systems, we can supply the right system for any application range. Size and capacity can be adjusted to your requirements.

Basically, we can provide:

• built-in systems for new firefighting vehicles

• retrofit systems which can be installed independent of the manufacturer

• self-sustaining systems which can be flexible applied and which can be transported with any vehicle

The flow rates of the outlets are aligned to the maximum capacity of the hose. Therefore we offer you solutions that correspond to your hose dimensions.

i.e.: 1.5“outlet = 1400lpm of One Seven® extinguishing agent

2.0“outlet = 2200lpm of One Seven® extinguishing agent

To protect heliports, industrial plants or cultural facilities, stationary extinguishing systems have been developed with the One Seven® system. The efficiency of One Seven® extinguishing systems had been proven by numerous application tests and various references, especially for the protection of industrial plants and public buildings.

STLF 5000 TAA „Luxembourg“Firefighting Vehicle “TLF 4000” with One Seven®

All system functions can be controlled via the control panel. This control panel can either be integrated into the pump con-trol panel or it can be separately mounted. The built-in systems correspond to the highest quality requirements and will have full electronic control via a PLC and they are connected to chassis and pump via innovative CAN bus technology. Through this, a “one-button operation” had been achieved: providing easy handling and a prevention of operating errors. The control panels can additionally be designed as touch screen.

All One Seven® systems are provided with a changeover between wet and dry foam. The water and air flows for those foams are factory preset and can be separately recalled per outlet.

Advantages:

· space-saving mounted · high reliability · no complex compressor drive · no additional couplings · low maintenance effort

Built-in systems for firefighting vehiclesOur One Seven® built-in systems are a modular design, easy to mount, offer the highest reliability with low maintenance effort, together with all the advantages of the One Seven® technology.

Our retrofit systems can be installed in any vehicle – independent of the manufacturer. When installing the One Seven® systems we are not dependent on the auxiliary drive. The installation will be individually realised according to your requirements. Due to the tense financial situation, many municipalities cannot purchase new firefighting vehicles at the moment. We developed these “retrofit systems” to enable the usage of One Seven® but also for fire brigades that cannot purchase new firefighting vehicles currently. With a retrofit system you are able to increase the value of your existing firefighting vehicle – without the purchase costs for a new vehicle. The retrofit system consists of a mounting frame containing a drive engine, our established C1 compressor package, a proportioner and the complete control and regulation technology incl. mixing line. This unit can be mounted in any accessible position on the vehicle. All we need is to make a connection to the centrifugal pump.

Retrofit systems

The mobile devices are self-sustaining One Seven® systems for mobile operation outside of the firefighting vehicle. They can be stored and transported in any vehicle.

Foam concentrate• One Seven® class A foam concentrate

- proportioning rate of only 0.3% - very high wetting ability

• One Seven® class B-AFFF foam concentrate - proportioning rate of only 0,5 % - waterfilm-forming

• One Seven® class B-AFFF-AR foam concentrate - proportioning rate of only 0,6 %

- waterfilm-forming/containing alcohol - Free of polymers!

One Seven® foam concentrates have very low proportioning rates and are therefore extremely economical. They are available in 20l, 25l, 60l canisters or 200l barrels.

Effects of the One Seven® foam concentrate

Draves-Test – ASTM E 2281

The One Seven® class A foam concentrate had been developed for having the best wetting ability availableataproportioningrateofonly0.3%.

This is confirmed by the so-called Draves-Test:

Under same test conditions and with the same test time conventional foam concentrates first start penetrating the fuel and the sinking started after approximately128seconds,One Seven® achieved thisin28seconds!

The low surface tension and the high wetting ability at a low proportioning rate of the One Seven® foam causes a fast and deep penetration into the fuel of the fire class A. Through this, the inside of the fuel will be cooled and a reignition will be avoided.

Due to the high kinetic energy, the One Seven® extinguishing agent can directly reach the fuel, adhere to it and therefore extinguish the fire. An extended heat transfer from the fuel onto the extinguishing agent occurs.

The One Seven® foam concentrate:

• sanitaryharmless

• environmentallycompatible

• biodegradable
