Description

3 .1

Function

The AWG Inductors are used to feed liquid foam concentrates into a hose
line. The inductors are intended for connection to foam branch pipes that
are used to generate low or medium expansion foam in accordance with
DIN EN 16712-3.
The main amount of the water entering at high speed through the suc-
tion chamber generates through the Venturi principle a negative pres-
sure, which causes the foam concentrate to be aspirated via a Storz
D-coupling. The required admixing rate is chosen by rotating the rate
setting sleeve.
A spring-loaded check valve in the suction inlet prevents the ingress of
water into the foam line when the foam nozzle is closed.
