What type of solution does an aspirator transport?

An aspirator is a device specifically designed to transport foam solution, which is a mixture of water and foam concentrate used in firefighting applications. This type of solution is critical in fire protection systems, particularly in scenarios where flammable liquids are involved. The foam helps to suppress fire by smothering it, reducing the oxygen supply and cooling the burning material.

The formulation and delivery method of foam solutions are critical in a firefighting context, as they allow for both effective application and rejection of direct water use in certain fires. This versatility makes the foam solution particularly advantageous for specific hazards that water alone may not combat effectively. Therefore, the capability of the aspirator to successfully transport foam concentrate mixed with water underlines its importance in fire safety equipment.
