Title Principles for the optimisation of medium-expansion foam generators
Original title Grundlagen für die Optimierung von Mittelschaumerzeugern [in German]
Bibliographic information wissenschaftlich-technische Beilage 6/1973, p.81-92. Illus. 21 ref.
Abstract An outline of the state-of-the-art and theoretical principles is followed by an account of experimental research on the production of the jet, air transport, etc. On the basis of the results obtained, it is possible to calculate the optimal characteristics of foam generators according to the type of fire to be contained and the requirements of the undertaking.
