4 What is One Seven? One Seven is a highly efficient extinguishing system which can be used for the effective, safe and fast extinguishing of even problematic fires. Due to this efficiency, only a low quantity of extinguishing agent, which means water and foam concentrate, will be required. One Seven extensively fights the fire. Due to the high energy, the extinguishing agent can deeply penetrate into the fuel. The temperature will quickly and effectively be reduced due to the 7-fold enlarged surface area of the bubbles and the subsequent heat absorption ability. The good adhesive abilities additionally provide an extended heat transmission. The fuel will be effectively subdued by the One Seven compressed air foam and it will be separated from the oxygen. One Seven is the only extinguishing agent which effectively fights all of the fire factors simultaneously. An extinguishing system for all applications One drop of water will be transformed into seven foam bubbles With One Seven you are able to save lives, protect property and everyone goes home safely. For years, the One Seven extinguishing system has been used highly effectively within the field of mobile and stationary firefighting. The system is available for any application range and its size and capacity can be adjusted to the respective requirements. The leadership of the German market with the One Seven system proves our competency. The handling and the special features of the extinguishing agent have proven itself. Furthermore, we managed to transfer the various possibilities of the One Seven foam onto stationary extinguishing systems.

How is the One Seven system designed? One Seven is a combination of centrifugal pump, foam proportioner, compressor and patented compact foam generator with mixing chamber. An ideal extinguishing effect will be guaranteed by the harmonised components together with the highly efficient foam concentrate and the nozzles. Due to innovative measuring and regulation technology, manual adjustments by the operator are not necessary anymore. By a simple one-button operation it is possible to easily and safely operate the system even under pressure. The problem of the phase separation of compressed air and water / foam concentrate in the hose is a known phenomenon and can be avoided during the interior attack tactic known as Pulse Technique, with One Seven. You will always get a homogeneous and reproducible foam structure. One Seven compact foam generator of the Third Generation: Compact, high process reliability, higher efficiency The One Seven system is the most efficient firefighting system in the 21 st century. One system many operation possibilities For nearly all operations like - room fires, - apartment fires, - house fires, - vehicle fires, - wildfires, - polar and non-polar liquid fires or - fires at electrical plants, One Seven has clearly proven that it works faster with less water and without the usual water damage. Simultaneously, less decontaminated water requires disposal. Firefighting at wildfires 5 Car fire extinguished within 31 seconds! Interior attack Test: liquid fire
Safety is our number one priority The safety of firefighters will be considerably increased due to: - the simple one-button operation for the operator - the extremely fast cooling of the fire gases - reduced burn and scald risk for the operating crew - safe attack distance due to large throwing distances - better sight due to reduced smoke - reduced reignition danger - safe operation in electrical plants - better handling of the hose due to less weight Advantages that save lifes! 4 m 35.000 V One Seven had been tested in electrical plants according to international standards 6 The features and advantages of One Seven are remarkable: can be applied at fires of any kind in the fire classes A and B large, efficient surface strong cooling ability high energy content very good adhesive properties high discharge speed and penetration depth adheres to the fuel strong moisture penetration ability extinguishing agent penetrates deep into the fuel and avoids reignitions low water consumption less storage, nearly no water damages and nearly no contaminated water for disposal low proportioning rates (0.1%-0.6%) smaller foam concentrate tanks and therefore a larger weight reserve for other equipment low failure probability one-button operation of the operator foam concentrate is biodegradable minimum maintenance safe and simple operation even under pressure high environment protection
One Seven - stationary extinguishing systems To protect heliports, industrial plants or cultural facilities, stationary extinguishing systems have been developed with the One Seven system. The efficiency of One Seven extinguishing systems had been proven by numerous application tests and various references, especially for the protection of industrial plants and public buildings. Application ranges: petrochemical plants heliports industrial plants electrical plants tunnel systems buildings car parks and parking garages wind energy plants ships Throwing distance of the monitors of more than 30 m Spray pattern of rotor Request detailed information regarding this topic! One Seven as mobile solution Within the field of mobile systems, we can supply the right system for any application range. Size and capacity can be adjusted to your requirements. Basically, we can provide: built-in systems for new firefighting vehicles retrofit systems which can be installed independent of the manufacturer self-sustaining systems which can be flexible applied and which can be transported with any vehicle 7 The capacity will be determined by different compressor capacities depending on the requirements: OS C1-100 B 1 x 1.5 outlet OS C2-200 B 2 x 1.5 outlet OS C2-110 B 1 x 1.5 outlet + 1 x 2.0 outlet OS C3-120 B 1 x 1.5 outlet + 2 x 2.0 outlet The flow rates of the outlets are aligned to the maximum capacity of the hose. Therefore we offer you solutions that correspond to your hose dimensions. i. e.: 1.5 outlet = 1400 lpm of One Seven extinguishing agent 2.0 outlet = 2200 lpm of One Seven extinguishing agent Firefighting vehicle with One Seven system
Built-in systems for firefighting vehicles Our One Seven built-in systems are a modular design, easy to mount, offer the highest reliability with low maintenance effort, together with all the advantages of the One Seven technology. An installation can be realised on any firefighting vehicle: standard firefighting vehicles, industrial firefighting vehicles, forest firefighting vehicles, air-crash tenders and other specialist firefighting vehicles. All system functions can be controlled via the control panel. This control panel can either be integrated into the pump control panel or it can be separately mounted. The built-in systems correspond to the highest quality requirements and will have full electronic control via a PLC and they are connected to chassis and pump via innovative CAN bus technology. Through this, a one-button operation had been achieved: providing easy handling and a prevention of operating errors. The control panels can additionally be designed as touch screen. 8 Advantages: space-saving mounted high reliability no complex compressor drive no additional couplings low maintenance effort Mobile systems Display of the innovative touch screen technology All One Seven systems are provided with a changeover between wet and dry foam. The water and air flows for those foams are factory preset and can be separately recalled per outlet. Firefighting Vehicle TLF 4000 with One Seven STLF 5000 TAA Luxembourg
Retrofit systems Our retrofit systems can be installed in any vehicle independent of the manufacturer. When installing the One Seven systems we are not dependent on the auxiliary drive. The installation will be individually realised according to your requirements. Due to the tense financial situation, many municipalities cannot purchase new firefighting vehicles at the moment. We developed these retrofit systems to enable the usage of One Seven but also for fire brigades that cannot purchase new firefighting vehicles currently. With a retrofit system you are able to increase the value of your existing firefighting vehicle without the purchase costs for a new vehicle. The retrofit system consists of a mounting frame containing a drive engine, our established C1 compressor package, a proportioner and the complete control and regulation technology incl. mixing line. This unit can be mounted in any accessible position on the vehicle. All we need is to make a connection to the centrifugal pump. Self-sustaining systems The mobile devices are self-sustaining One Seven systems for mobile operation outside of the firefighting vehicle. They can be stored and transported in any vehicle. Mobile Sysrem OS 300 T OS C1-100 S Mobile System OS C1-100 S Powerbox 9 The compressed air driven compact system OS 300 T can also be operated within explosive areas.

Effects of the One Seven foam concentrate The One Seven foam concentrate: sanitary harmless environmentally compatible biodegradable Due to the high kinetic energy, the One Seven extinguishing agent can directly reach the fuel, adhere to it and therefore extinguish the fire. An extended heat transfer from the fuel onto the extinguishing agent occurs. 10 The low surface tension and the high wetting ability at a low proportioning rate of the One Seven foam causes a fast and deep penetration into the fuel of the fire class A. Through this, the inside of the fuel will be cooled and a reignition will be avoided. Foam concentrate Draves-Test ASTM E 2281 The One Seven class A foam concentrate had been developed for having the best wetting ability available at a proportioning rate of only 0.3%. This is confirmed by the so-called Draves-Test: Under same test conditions and with the same test time conventional foam concentrates first start penetrating the fuel and the sinking started after approximately 128 seconds, One Seven achieved this in 28 seconds! One Seven class A foam concentrate - proportioning rate of only 0.3% - very high wetting ability One Seven class B-AFFF foam concentrate - proportioning rate of only 0,5 % - waterfilm-forming One Seven class B-AFFF-AR foam concentrate - proportioning rate of only 0,6 % - waterfilm-forming/containing alcohol - Free of polymers! One Seven foam concentrates have very low proportioning rates and are therefore extremely economical. They are available in 20l, 25l, 60l canisters or 200l barrels.
