Description
This “Hybrid” nozzle has the unique capability to perform as an automatic pressure and fixed flow nozzle. During automatic operation, the nozzle will respond to varying flows to maintain a nearly constant tip pressure at 100 psi (6.9 bars) ± 10%, thus maximizing effective range for a given discharge flow. Once the nozzle reaches the fixed flow set point between 2,000 – 6,000 gpm (7,571 – 22,700 Lpm), it performs as a conventional fixed flow nozzle. This feature is desirable for foam proportioning operations on storage tank fires or other hazards requiring specific application rates. This nozzle is capable of Hydro-Foam™ proportioning at rates up to 6,000 gpm (22,700 Lpm) @1% or 3% (3,000 gpm or 11,356 Lpm @ 6%) using remote jet pump technology. The extensive “Ambassador” options list allows this nozzle to be Hydro-Chem™ capable with PKW flow rates from 25 lbs/sec (11.3 Kg/sec) to 100 lbs/sec (45.4 Kg/sec). The single 8” full flow stainless steel waterway construction provides minimum friction loss, maximum efficiency, and years of trouble-free service.
