High-volume pumping via remote control

摘要

The mobile water transport system known as Hytrans Fire System (HFS) was developed to be set up in no time and with a minimum of manpower. It is capable of supplying water from any open water source at large volumes (up to 30,000 lpm at 12 bar) and over long distances of several kilometres. The system is used worldwide and has proven performance during large scale incidents, including Fukushima in 2011. Here, a HFS HydroSub 150 unit from Tokyo Fire Brigade was brought to the scene to provide water for cooling the reactor. The SuperPumper - as the HFS HydroSub 150 is called in Japan - played a major role in cooling the crippled reactor.
