Why bother?

slide-42
SLIDE 42

Why aren’t more people using CAFS?

Does it work? It´s to good to be true!

  • Aspirated foam works why change?
  • CAFS is often misunderstood. It´s not only for structural and class A fires.
  • Change is hard: Aspirated and non aspirated foam is in ARFF fire-fighters’ DNA
  • The Environmental issues!

Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS) Testing Information

  • Aim
  • The aim of the testing is to evaluate the use of CAFS on an aviation fire to influence future rules

(ICAO and EASA).

  • Objectives
  • To measure the fire fighting performance of an AFFF in an 80m2 fire test;
  • To measure the fire fighting performance of CAFS in a number of 80m2 fire tests;
  • Method
  • 5 tests will be carried out on an 80m2 fire containing a replica fuselage using CAFS
  • The test programme, systems for testing and foam concentrates will be finalised on the Monday.

  • UK CAA works with leading operators to carry out Compressed

Air Foam System fire tests.

  • The UK Civil Aviation Authority, along with specialist safety experts and a number
  • f airport operators have taken part in tests to determine the effectiveness of

Compressed Air Foam Systems (CAFS) on aviation fires. The trials, carried out at the test facility of the risk-control company, CNPP, in Vernon, France in May 2012, will feed into the current ICAO and EASA work on CAFS.

  • The tests were based on an 80m² fire tray with a replica fuselage in the middle of a

pool of 1,500 liters of fuel. The results of the tests were captured by CNPP research staff and once collated will be made available to the wider industry.

  • Simon Webb who is leading the project for the CAA, said: “This testing was an

excellent example of the regulator, operators and manufacturers working together for the common aim of improving safety in aviation. The results of this research have delivered a key objective of the CAA Safety Plan to encourage the use of new technology in fire fighting and will direct us on the way forward with the CAFS technology.”

  • The tests also found that the new generation fire fighting foams, which do not

contain fluorinated products associated with the problem of environmental persistence, performed as well as the currently used film-forming foams. Thus the results identify those types of products and systems which satisfy both fire-fighting and environmental objectives.

  • Industry partners in the tests included the UK Airport Operators Association,

Copenhagen airport and Changi Airport Group, Singapore.
