WATER DRIVEN VOLUMETRIC PROPORTIONER - WITH PISTON PUMP FOR MOBILE USE
0,5%-1%-3% % selectable dosing system for fire- In-house designed multi-vane water motor giving early
fighting – for mobile use. Extinguishing water drives volumetric function, without using moving elastomer
the volumetric water motor, which in its turn drives the sealings. Correct dosing at system pressures from 2 to
single positive displacement piston pump that doses the 16 bar and from min flow* up to 1000 lpm.

Connections water motor G (ISO 228-1) male: G 2 1/2” - DN 65 - Hose couplings in customers choice
Connection pump G (ISO 228-1) female: 1” Cam-lock – DN 25 - Equipped with Suction pipe

*Notes on minimum flow:

Minimum flow rate is the flow where dosing reaches reaches 2,55% (3% settings)
Minimum flow changes depending on system pressure and viscosity properties of the concentrate and design
of the suction line. See Instruction Manual.
Below min flow, there is still dosing if the unit is rotating.
Once min flow is reached in a typical installation, usually dosing is no longer pressure sensitive at higher flows.
**Consult with Firemiks AB for higher viscosities.
*** Version with dosing tolerance nominal to +30% over nominal according EN 13565, NFPA 11 and FM 5130 also available,
technical data for minflow and pressure drop is different to this version.

MAIN PARTS OVERVIEW

FIREMIKS makes it easy to build a

flexible system, quickly adapting
to different fire-fighting scenarios.

To just one FIREMIKS you may

connect several nozzles and
handle them independently.

OPTIONAL FEATURES / ITEMS

Features / Items Description

Reversed water flow direction (right to left) Standard flow direction is from left to right seen from pump
side.

Dosing return valve (DRV) Valve for returning the concentrate to the tank, making it
possible to check the functioning of the unit and to measure
the admixture rate with suitable equipment’s (see below),
without generating water/foam solution. Including pressure
relief valve (PRV) to avoid over-pressure, in case the return line
is blocked for discharge for any reason.

DRV dosing rate measuring equipment Measuring equipment’s consisting of one Mag flow meter for
water flow, one Mag flow meter for pumped concentrate and
a Pressure regulating valve for simulating working pressure in
return line, plus a damped Pressure gauge.

Handheld Tachometer for RPM measurement Used to give an estimate of the water flow through the water
motor and to compare with max flow rpm stated on this Data
sheet, to ensure that unit is not over-speeding.
Note: RPM cannot be used to correctly verify the dosing rate
as the actual unit flow performance is not fully verified with
this method.

High temperature application above 55°C (131°F). Unit adapted with materials for usage up to 80°C (176°F).
Relevant low temperature performance may be affected.

Alternative Water motor connections/Couplings Flanges (ANSI, DIN), Storz couplings, etc.
