Elevated streams are particularly useful and effective when operated on large open-type fires. A good general rule is that you have written off the building(or portion) when you initiate elevated stream operations and you are essentially in a defensive mode. Ground crews should be advised before elevated streams go into operation.

foam proportioner: A device using any of several means for mixing correct proportions of foam concentrate with water to generate air foam.

DEF

foam eductor; foam inductor; induction device: A venturi type device for drawing foam concentrate from a container in correct proportions and introducing it into a water stream.

CONT

Foam Concentrate Proportioners. In order that a predetermined volume of liquid foam concentrate may be taken from its source and placed into a water stream to form a foam solution of fixed concentration, the following two general method classifications are made : 1. Methods which utilize the pressure energy of the water stream by venturi action and orifices to induct concentrate.... Methods which utilize external pumps or pressure heads to inject concentrate into the water stream at a fixed ratio to flow.

A machine used by the dairy industry to make powdered milk. The general principle of operation is that a stream of milk is very finely atomized and blown into a stream of heated air. The extremely large amount of surface presented by the droplets of milk causes evaporation of moisture, the fluids being left in the form of a dry powder.

CONT

There are three different types of foam proportioners commonly used in the fire service: line eductors, balanced pressure proportioners, and around-the-pump proportioners. The line eductor is the simplest and least expensive proportioning device. It has no moving parts in the water way, which makes it durable and dependable. The line eductor may be attached to the hoseline or may be part of the nozzle. There are two different types of line eductors: the in-line eductor and the self-educting nozzle. Both types of eductors use the venturi principle to draft foam concentrate into the water stream. As water at high pressure passes over a reduced opening, it creates a low-pressure area near the outlet side of the eductor. This low-pressure area creates a suction effect. The eductor pickup tube is connected to the eductor at this low-pressure point. The pickup tube submerged in the foam concentrate draws concentrate into the water stream, creating a foam water solution.

The ejector lift principle, as developed by de Havilland Canada and used by General Dynamics in the E-7 design, also ducts forwards but to a specially-designed chamber where ambient air is entrained by the fan stream and a thrust-augmentation effect is obtained. The main engine nozzle swivels for lift thrust and, in forward flight, the fan stream has its own separate exhaust with afterburner.
