Lance with Dual Nozzle
The Firexpress lance with its dual nozzle makes it possible to use two different methods of extinguishing fires. One, by spraying the fire with water micro-drops to absorb the heat, and two, by spraying a concentrated jet of foam to extinguish embers in fibrous materials and to seal burning liquids. By operating the selector handle, the firefighter can immediately change between water spraying micro-drops and a concentrated jet of foam.
With the selector handle in the forward position, a concentrated jet of low expansion foam is produced, which is highly effective on embers in fibrous materials and fires in flammable liquids. The volume can reach 150 litres per minute (pump driven units).
With the selector handle in the backward position, a long-range cloud of micro-drops is produced. The micro-drops are highly efficient on most classes of fires. The volume can reach 30 litres per minute (pump driven units).
The patented Firexpress dual nozzle produces micro-drops that are so small and light, that they will hang in the air for a relatively long time and easily are drawn into the combustion area of the fire. They are in fact so small that 1 litre of water produces a surface area of more than 100 m2. Due to the large surface of the micro-drops, they are instantly converted into steam, thereby absorbing the heat of the fire very fast.
