ALERTA® Foam Chamber is designed to introduce expanded foam directly onto the surface of a flammable or combustible liquid for fire extinguishment and/or vapor suppression. Foam chambers deliver low expansion foam directly onto the fuel surface with a minimum of foam submergence and fuel agitation.

Minimizing submergence and agitation, increases the effectiveness of the foam blanket, resulting in more efficient operation, and superior extinguishing capabilities. Foam chambers have the added advantage of directing all their flow directly onto the product surface regardless of weather conditions, for the most effective utilization of foam resources. Foam chambers have a long history of timely and safe control of numerous incidents.

Foam chambers are compatible with all types of foam concentrate; protein, fluoro-protein, AFFF, and AR-AFFF.

They are generally installed on the side wall of vertical storage tanks above the maximum product level. Piping coupled to the unit can be linked to a fixed foam proportioning system, or terminated a safe distance from the tank, where foam solution can be delivered via mobile fire apparatus or portable foam proportioning equipment.

ALERTA® Foam Chamber is used in one of the most common application to protect vertical fixed roof (cone) liquid storage tanks, with or without internal floating roof with the low expansion foam system. The application of foam is on the basis that the risk comprises the total surface area of the fuel
