The research activity in 2006 was aimed at development of small and medium class forest fire extinguish appliances and equipments and seeking the suitable version for the best solution. During the research period was finish the technical documentation and one prototype of small forest fire extinguish equipment (VIZÖNTŐ) which built from box modules. The patenting process was start in the year of 2006.
The VIZÖNTŐ forest fire extinguish prototype is able to assemble on trailer, it has a 400 dm3 polyethene tank, the pump power is 4.2 kW driven by petrol engine (by the pressure of 40 bar able to spread 40 dm3/min) the system is double circled, range is 5-10 m equipped with sprinkle head. Extinguish performance is 2400 m3 forest volume with the 400 dm3 water during 10 minutes.
The 1000 dm3 water tank on the cargo hold of the pick up vehicle could be give more water supply leading by water pipe to extinguish equipment. The whole extinguish performance of the accessories like this VIZÖNTŐ+Pick up is 8400 m3 forest volume with 1400 dm3 water during 35 minutes.
We made a searching for the similar accessories on the world. We ascertain that the supply is quite poor and are planning to test the next equipments:
BUSH FIRE Top Line impulse water fog maker and water cannon trailer;
GUN 500 with axle fun sprayer equipment for vaporize;
DONDI DMR 55.B type one side sprinkle trench digger;
Prompt impact manual equipments;
Prompt impact water bombs.
