The Around-the-Pump Inductor is a foam concentrate proportioning unit designed for connection in a by-pass between the pressure and suction side of the fire water pump. This system diverts a small part of the feed water flow through the PI, with a negligible effect on the fire water line pressure. The proportioner inducts a rich solution which becomes the required proportion in the main stream.
Commonly used in marine applications, Around-the-Pump Inductors are also used on specialised foam trucks or fixed systems where a dedicated water pump is available.
The water suction line shall not be connected to a pressur ized source, such as a municipal water line. If so, a buffer tank must be installed between the pressurized source and the pump.
