VGH10000 High Expansion Generator
UL Listed High expansion foam generator
The model VGH10000 High Expansion Generator (HEG) is intended for use in risks where total volume flooding is required such as aircraft hangars, warehouses, cable tunnels or engine rooms. High expansion foam can be a suitable protection method for ignitable liquids, ordinary combustibles and liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The VGH10000 is an aspirated type generator (#aspiratedgenerator) using the velocity of the foam solution flow to draw large amounts of air into the generator and onto a mesh screen along with the foam solution to create highly expanded and stable foam bubbles.
This principle means no outside power requirements and no moving parts thereby eliminating possible failure points and minimising costly maintenance.
