RTP – round the pump foam system RTP Foam System All current Hale Products Europe World Series, GM, GV, Diesel 5300 and 6500 L/min ranges of pumps can be fitted with a“Round–the-pump” Foam System (RTP) capable of inducing up to 120 litres per minute of foam compound into the pump. The system is compact and self-contained and is mounted on the pump suction tube andvolute. The system is suitable for all commercially-available Protein, Fluoroprotein and Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) compounds. The induction rate is controlled by an infinitely variable control knob with calibrated incremental markings from 0 to 120 litres per minute. To minimise any potential corrosion problems, the foam system is available in materials compatible with that of the main pump. For light alloy pumps, the pipework and inductor are produced from aluminium alloy – the inductor itself is hard-anodised and for bronze pumps, gunmetal components are available throughout. World Series pump with RTP system Driving water control valve Foam flow regulation control Connection for foam supply RTP “Round-the-pump” foam system The RTP system is suitable for use when the pump is operating from a vehicle tank, free-standing tank, open water or a pressure fed source. Foam compound can be supplied to the inductor from two main sources – a free-standing tank or a vehicle-mounted tank. The system is very simple to operate. By opening the driving water valve and selecting the required foam flow on the inductor foam flow-regulation knob, the correct volume of foam is introduced into the water stream entering the pump at the suction eye. The system operates satisfactorily with main pump pressure between 5 – 15 bar.
