Balanced pressure proportioner: The use of a separate pump for transporting and pressurizing foam concentrate to be delivered in the correct proportions to a flowing water stream offers the greatest advantage for reliable and accurate operation of a foam concentrate proportioning system which must function at varying rates of volume or pressure during its use. ... The balanced pressure system ... relies on: (1) a hydraulically monitored pressure control valve in a bypass foam concentrate line from a pump, and (2) a correctly sized venturi-type proportioning controller in the water line for correct and automatic proportioning over wide ranges of flow. 4, record 1, English, - balanced%2Dpressure%20proportioner
