This program evaluated general quality and basic performance parameters of a dry chemical extinguishing system modification to the P-19 firefighting vehicle. In its standard configuration, the P-19 is equipped with a Halon 1211 fire suppression system and a 500 pound supply of Halon. Halon 1211 is a clean, effective extinguishing agent. However, Halon 1211 depletes stratospheric ozone, and its production will be banned before the year 2000 by the Montreal ...
This project evaluated the performance of a precision metering system for the P-19 firefighting vehicle and the effectiveness of 1 percent AFFF in fighting large hydrocarbon fires. The metering system was designed, manufactured, installed, and test assistance provided by the Hypro Corporation. This system replaces the around the-pump inductor foam metering system originally installed in the P-19, with a modern closed-loop computer-controlled system. The Hypro metering system is a well ...
