Cameleon is an automatic foam concentrate proportioning system, designed and engineered in France by CTD. It is designed to inject foam (Class A or B, or both) precisely into water streams for firefighting. It gives firefighters control over flow rates and foam concentration via a user friendly, touchscreen, interface with an easy-to-navigate visual display and control mechanism.
Key Models & Configurations:
- CAMELEON A IQ BP – Low Pressure
- CAMELEON A IQ HP – High Pressure
- CAMELEON A IQ HF – High Flow
- For Class A foam (wetting agents).
- Low-volume, positive-pressure injection.
- User selects concentration; system adjusts automatically
- CAMELEON B IQ BP – Low Pressure
- CAMELEON B IQ HP – High Pressure
- CAMELEON B IQ HF – High Flow
- CAMELEON B IQ HV – High Viscosity
-
- Designed for small/medium vehicles using Class B foam.
- Handles varying flow rates and concentrations set via touchscreen
- CAMELEON AB IQ BP – Low Pressure
- CAMELEON AB IQ HP – High Pressure
- CAMELEON AB IQ HF – High Flow
- CAMELEON AB IQ HV – High Viscosity
-
- Dual-function: supports both Class A and Class B foams with alternating feed.
Available in BP/HP/HF/HV versions:
-
-
- BP (Low Pressure): 12 bar, up to 30 L/min
- HP (High Pressure): 45 bar, up to 24 L/min
- HF (High Flow): up to 36 L/min lpm
- HV (High Viscosity): < 400 Mpa.s at 20°c at 375 s-1 shear rate
-
All Cameleon models connect to CTD’s IQ touchscreen interface, allowing stable foam concentrations, automated priming, flushing, data logging, and remote servicing via wi-fi connectivity.
Technical Features & Benefits
- Automatic dosing: Maintains foam concentration accurately across changing pump flows.
- Touchscreen IQ interface:
- Real‑time adjustment of % concentration.
- Records logs of usage, GPS, Wi‑Fi access.
- Remote diagnostics & firmware updates
- Pressure versions:
- BP (Low Pressure) and HP (High Pressure) for diverse operational needs.
- Automated priming and flushing: Prevents clogs, cleans lines.
- Durability: Designed for harsh field conditions, compatible with multiple foam types
Why Choose Cameleon?
- Precise foam use saves water and concentrate, and accelerates intervention by 30–50% compared to manual systems
- Versatility across vehicle sizes and foam classes (A, B, or both).
- Smart integration: Connected interface enhances monitoring, serviceability, and record-keeping.
- Modular build to match any fleet requirement.
- Direct Injection System (as opposed to ‘Around the Pump’ system)
Why Choose Direct Injection?
How it works:
Foam concentrate is injected after the pump, directly into the discharge side, mixing with water as it exits toward the hose or nozzle.
Benefits:
- Accurate foam ratio: The system injects foam based on the exact water flow rate, so proportioning is precise even if flows change.
- No foam in the pump: Water-only goes through the pump, which avoids corrosion or cleanup issues associated with foam residue.
- Multi-line capability: You can run both foam and water-only lines simultaneously from the same pump.
- Easier pump maintenance: Since foam never enters the pump, there’s less risk of damage or buildup inside.
- Modern control systems: Typically integrated with digital controls, making them user-friendly and programmable.
