CoolFire: a portable, modular ultrahigh pressure abrasive cutting and fire suppression system

磨料水射流切割和灭火系统是现代消防的有力工具。对于某些类型的火灾--使用传统的水或泡沫技术难以处理--它们可以提供惊人的快速效果，同时保护消防员免受重大危险，并将财产和建筑损失降至最低。BHR是磨料水射流切割和灭火系统领域的领先创新者；BHR开发的技术通过技术许可协议在全球500多个系统中投入使用。目前的系统规模很大。在消防和救援服务应用中，它们通常被集成到消防车中，需要进行大量的结构和车身修改。这增加了成本(实际、维护和停机时间)，并限制了灵活性。英国的消防和救援服务面临着削减成本和提高安全性的巨大压力。新技术是实现这些目标的关键手段。BHR建议开发Coolfire，这是一种模块化的超高压磨料切割和灭火系统，具有许多独特的优势：低成本、快速安装；低初始和整个生命周期成本；轻松、清洁和安全的磨料处理；高可靠性；BHR寻求资金来开发、测试和演示Coolfire系统的原型。

Abrasive waterjet cutting and fire suppression systems are a potent tool for the modern fireservice. For certain fires types - difficult to tackle using traditional water or foam techniques -they can offer astonishingly rapid effects while simultaneously protecting firefighters fromsignificant hazards and minimising property & building damage.BHR is a leading innovator in the area of abrasive water jet cutting & fire suppressionsystems; technology developed by BHR is in service via technology licensing agreements inover 500 systems worldwide.Current systems are large. In Fire & Rescue Service applications they are generally integratedinto fire appliances, requiring substantial structural & bodywork modification. This increasescosts (actual, maintenance and downtime) and limits flexibility.Fire & Rescue Services in the UK are under considerable pressure to cut costs and improvesafety. Novel technologies are a key means for achieving these goals. BHR proposes todevelop CoolFire, a modular ultrahigh pressure abrasive cutting and fire suppression systemwith a number of unique advantages:Low cost, rapid installation;Low initial and through life costs;Easy, clean & safe abrasive handling;High reliability;BHR seeks funding to develop, test and demonstrate a prototype CoolFire system.
