The Coolfire Method
Coolfire is the solution for advanced firefighting. Thanks to this system, fighting indoor fires will be more effective, safer, easier and cleaner. Discover the power of Coolfire.
UHP System
Coolfire is an Ultra High Pressure (UHP) system with the ability to penetrate materials. This makes it possible for you, as a fire professional, to very effectively cool flue gases from outside the fire compartment, without having to go inside. Cooling will cause the temperature to fall to approximately 100°C (or far below!) and the humidity becomes so high that there is temporarily less risk of a backdraft or flashover.
How does Coolfire work
Coolfire utilises a two-phase technology (except in situations where soft materials need to be penetrated and the use of abrasives is unnecessary) to fight fires safely and efficiently.
Phase 1: Penetrating
An abrasive can be added to the water in the Coolfire system. This makes it possible to first penetrated objects with an ultra-powerful jet of water of up to 300 bar. When the surface is penetrated and phase 2 can be started, you will automatically notice this to the system: less back pressure and a different water picture.
Phase 2: Misting
In this phase, the water jet enters the compartment at very high speed. Once inside, the misting phase begins, causing the fire gases to condense and cool down quickly. This phase lasts only 1 to 1.5 minutes (depending on the size of the compartment), after which it is safe to enter the compartment. In short: powerful, safe and fast.
The power of Coolfire
More effective
Flue gases can be cooled from outside the fire compartment using Coolfire. Because the humidity becomes so high as a result, you give the fire a knockdown. The fine water mist inertizes the space. The fire compartment thus remains closed and the absorption of heat is optimal. In short: more effective fire fighting.
safer
As a fire department, you are no longer exposed to the dangers of backdraft, flashover and extremely high temperatures because the fire compartment is not entered. A certain feeling.
simpler
Cooling flue gases no longer requires hand held nozzles — a complex technique that requires a lot of training and practice. The Coolfire lance is easy to use, so it can be used by all professionals after training.
cleaner
The fire is first brought under control from outside, which means considerably less pollution. The fine mist captures smoke and soot particles, making the environment cleaner when you enter. As a result, firefighters are less exposed to pollution and benefits health.
