Abstract

This paper discusses the production and functionality of bladder tanks used in fire protection systems. These tanks, comprising a tank, membrane, and proportioner pressurized through a single line, are designed to mix water and foam concentrate in a controlled manner to create an effective extinguishing medium. The bladder tank technology is renowned for its reliability and precision, making it a popular choice in fixed fire protection systems.
