Commercial Passenger and Cargo Ship Applications
Commercial ships are now larger and crew numbers remain unchanged or are being reduced due to automation. Unlike the Navy, which has crew ranging from 50 to 4,500 per
vessel, trying to extinguish a Class B fire with old fashion in-line eductors,
portable foam applicators with a bucket of foam or waiting 5 +/- minutes for the fixed AFFF system to discharge foam is no longer an effective solutions towards saving passengers, crew and ship.
Fire doubles in size every 11 seconds! Not a pleasing prospect
especially when you are sailing short and you have not had much sleep. Also, mustering a fire-fighting crew in the dead of night takes time and time is against you!
The PFA-95 is a force multi-plier, operates between 35 psi to 150 psi thereby; just 1 crew member can
operate & apply AFFF solution in seconds to the seat of the fire
using existing maintained fire main pressure. The ratio controller allows the fire-fighter to set the foam concentrate (1% or 3% or 6%).Most portable foam applicators and in-
line eductors requires a minimum of 75 psi to
operate which do not comply with SOLAS. These old fahion
types of equipment are not force multipliers, are cumbersome to operate requiring 3 or more crew members to operate causing unneccessary delay of 5 +/- minutes before AFFF is applied to fight the fire.Per SOLAS & FSS Code, PFA’s must produce 53 cubic feet of low expansion foam (10:1) per minute and operate at a minimum of 36 psi. The PFA must be Type Approved by the
maritime administration and/or classification societies to these minimum testing standards.
