Abstract: This invention is directed to a portable foaming apparatus for a handheld fire suppression system having a container holding a foaming agent, water and a pressurized gas, a foam generating assembly having a snorkel, a gas re-directional opening defined in the foam generating assembly allowing gas to enter the re-directional opening from the container; a nozzle in fluid communication with the gas re-directional opening and included in the foam generating assembly downstream of the snorkel so that gas entering the re-directional opening is inserted in the foam generating assembly downstream the snorkel; and, an outlet defined in the housing ejecting foam produced from the foaming agent and the gas when a foam nozzle attached to the foam generating assembly is actuated.

Abstract: A fire suppression apparatus and method of generating foam are provided in which a foam-forming liquid is introduced under high velocity and pressure into a mixing manifold through a plurality of jets, and a non-combustible gas is introduced under high velocity and pressure into the center of the mixing manifold, downstream of the jets and in the direction of flow of the foam-forming liquid. The foam generated in the mixing manifold is discharged through a hose and nozzle connected to the mixing manifold. The apparatus may be a self-contained unit, supported on a frame, with its own supply of foam-forming liquid and non-combustible gas.
