Traditional fire extinguishers can only have a significant effect on the initial fire, but in some cases, such as gas station fires, bus fires, building fires, etc., these fires are large and spread rapidly at first, and traditional fire extinguishers cannot approach and extinguish fires at all. However, CAFS can spray dozens of meters, and can spray for 2 to 20 minutes or longer to extinguish fire. Before the fire truck arrives, CAFS can directly extinguish the fire or control the spread of fire.
In addition, CAFS is easy to operate and can be operated by ordinary personnel without the need for professional firefighters. In some narrow places, fire trucks are difficult to enter, but CAFS is small and mobile, and it is easy to enter. In addition, there are no fire hydrants, electricity, etc. in many places, so CAFS is also a good choice.

Principles of Systems
The compressed air fire extinguishing system uses a high-pressure gas cylinder as the power source, which drives the fire extinguishing agent to have a stable pressure and rapid injection during the duration. The high-pressure gas cylinder reaches the medicament tank after decompression, and drives the medicament to spray through the spray pipeline and the spray gun. High-pressure gases and medicaments can be filled multiple times. Air or nitrogen both can be chosen. According to the class of fire, foam, dry powder, water mist, FM200, FE-36, Novec1230, and other agents can be selected.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is a Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS)?A1: CAFS is a fire suppression system that uses high-pressure gas as a power source to drive extinguishing agents (like foam or dry powder) over long distances with stable pressure.
Q2: What types of fire extinguishing agents can be used with this system?A2: Depending on the fire class, you can choose foam, dry powder, water mist, FM200, FE-36, or Novec1230.
Q3: How far can the CAFS system spray?A3: The standard spray distance ranges from 20 to 25 meters, depending on the capacity and configuration of the system.
Q4: Is the CAFS system easy to transport?A4: Yes, the system features a cart design with wheels that can be disassembled for easy transportation. It can also be mounted on motorbikes or pickups.
Q5: What is the benefit of using CAFS over traditional fire extinguishers?A5: CAFS provides a much longer discharge time (up to 400s or more) and significantly greater spray distance, allowing users to fight larger fires from a safe distance.
Q6: Can the high-pressure cylinders be refilled?A6: Yes, both the high-pressure gas cylinders (air or nitrogen) and the agent tanks can be refilled multiple times for repeated use.
