It is-designed to hold 450 pounds of dry chemical agent at 220-240 psi operating pressure. The unit has no moving parts
and is rigidly bolted to the fire extinguisher frame. A four-inch fill opening is provided. The fill cap has long, built-in
handles for easy removal and replacement without tools. A non-adjustable pressure relief valve, preset to 250 psig at the
factory, is installed in the tank plumbing to protect the tank from excessive pressure in the unlikely event of complete
pressure regulator failure.
NOTE
Both the dry chemical tank and the AMPP tank are provided further overpressure protection
by the additional feature of the N2 pressure regulators. Each regulator is equipped with a non-
adjustable pressure relief valve which is pre-set for 400 psig.
b.
AFFF Tank. The AFFF container (2, figure 1-2) is a horizontal mounted cylindrical tank constructed of steel and
lined for corrosion protection against the AFFT. All joints and connections are welded. It is designed to hold 94 gallons
of water and six gallons of AFFF concentrate at 220-240 psi operating pressure. An electric heater is installed on the
outside of the tank, and covered with insulation. This allows the AFFF mixture to be maintained at operating fluidity in
ambient temperatures to -40°F. The unit has no moving parts and is rigidly bolted to the fire extinguisher frame. A fill
opening and cap, identical to those on the dry chemical tank, are provided. A temperature relief plug, fusible at 203° F,
is installed in the bottom of the tank where it is always in contact with the AFFT. The plug is a safety device, guarding
against over-heating of the AFFF in case of AFFF tank heater thermostat
