Abstract
A system for providing a fire suppression gel spray, including: a water tank; a water pump in fluid communication with the water tank; a gel tank; a gel pump in fluid communication with the gel tank; a spray nozzle in fluid communication with the water pump and the gel pump; a water flow control mounted on the spray nozzle; a gel flow control mounted on the spray nozzle; and a gel recirculation line for directing gel flow from the gel pump back into the gel tank, wherein the water flow control and the gel flow control are independently controllable at the spray nozzle. In addition, an optional system for spraying gel directly over the cab of a fire truck to which the present system is mounted is also included.

A system for providing a fire suppression gel spray, comprising:
- a water tank;
- a water pump in fluid communication with the water tank;
- a gel tank;
- a gel pump in fluid communication with the gel tank;
- a spray nozzle in fluid communication with the water pump and the gel pump;
- a water flow control mounted on the spray nozzle;
- and
- a gel flow control mounted on the spray nozzle, wherein the water flow control and the gel flow control are independently controllable.
A system for providing a fire suppression gel spray to the driver's cab of the truck body, comprising:
- a pressurized gas tank;
- a gel tank in communication with the pressurized gas tank, and separated by a gel tank valve;
- at least one water tank in communication with the pressurized gas tank, and separated by a water tank valve;
- a plurality of gel spray nozzles in communication with the gas tank, the gel tank and the at least one water tank, wherein pressure from the pressurized gas tank forces gel from the gel tank and water from the at least one water tank out of the plurality of gel spray nozzles when the gel tank valve and the water tank valves are opened.
A system for providing a fire suppression gel spray to the driver's cab of the truck body, comprising:
- a pressurized gas tank;
- a combined gel and water tank in communication with the pressurized gas tank, and separated by a valve;
- and
- a plurality of gel spray nozzles in communication with the gas tank and the combined gel and water tank, wherein pressure from the pressurized gas tank forces a combined gel/water mixture from the combined gel and water tank out of the plurality of gel spray nozzles when the valve is opened.
