Breathing Air Filtration System is vital for ensuring that workers exposed to hazardous environments breathe clean and safe air. These systems not only provide reliable protection but also meet stringent safety standards, offering peace of mind in the workplace. In this article, we will explore the key features and technical specifications of a High-Performance Portable Grade-D Breathing Air Filtration System, which ensures both worker safety and compliance with air quality standards.
Key Features of Breathing Air Filtration Systems
1. High-Performance Portable Grade-D Breathing Air Filtration System
The Grade-D Breathing Air Filtration Systems are designed to deliver high performance, guaranteeing workers a continuous supply of clean air. Since the systems are portable, they are ideal for use in various work environments, including industrial settings or confined spaces. Furthermore, their portability allows for easy relocation to different work sites without sacrificing performance.
2. Clear View Windows
One of the standout features is the inclusion of clear view windows. These windows allow operators to visually monitor the filtration system’s performance. This feature provides transparency, enabling users to quickly assess system status and ensure optimal air quality. Therefore, it helps users maintain operational efficiency and detect potential issues early.
3. Independent Regulators for Multiple Respirators
Another important feature is the inclusion of independent regulators. These regulators enable multiple respirators to be used simultaneously, which is particularly beneficial in larger teams or industrial environments. Moreover, the system accommodates different hose lengths, offering increased flexibility. This ensures that workers have access to safe air, regardless of their specific needs.
4. Fully Automated Reserve Air Systems
The filtration system comes equipped with fully automated reserve air systems. These systems ensure that workers always have access to breathable air, even if the primary air supply fails. As a result, workers can remain safe and focused on their tasks without worrying about air shortages.
5. Low Pressure Alarms for Enhanced Safety
In addition to the reserve air systems, the filtration unit includes low pressure alarms. These alarms activate when the air pressure drops below the required level, alerting users immediately. Consequently, workers can take swift action to address any issues and ensure continuous access to safe air.
6. Compliance with Industry Standards
Our systems meet or exceed several critical industry standards, including:
- OSHA 1910.134 (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
- Canadian Z180.1 Breathing Air Standards
- British Standard BS-EN 12021:1999 for Respiratory Protective Devices
This compliance ensures that the air filtration system offers the highest level of safety and quality, adhering to both national and international standards.
7. NIOSH Certified Airflow
Furthermore, all filtration units are designed to provide airflow that meets the NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) maximum capacity per worker. This design ensures that every worker receives the required airflow for safe respiratory protection, enhancing overall safety in the workplace.
8. Free Certified Air Quality Test
To provide further reassurance, Air Systems offers a free certified air quality test with the purchase of a new filtration device. This test helps confirm that the system delivers air that complies with necessary safety standards, starting from the moment it’s put into operation.
9. 2-Year Warranty on Sensors & Monitors
To demonstrate our commitment to quality, we offer a 2-year warranty on the sensors and monitors in our filtration units. This warranty ensures that customers can rely on the system’s performance over time, protecting their investment and ensuring peace of mind.
Technical Specifications of Breathing Air Filtration Systems
1. 1st Stage Filter with Filter Change Indicator
- Function: The 1st stage filter removes bulk water and particulate matter.
- Size: 5.0 micron
- Feature: A filter change indicator is included to assist users in determining when the filter needs to be replaced, ensuring continued system performance.
2. 2nd Stage Filter with Filter Change Indicator
- Function: This stage filters out coalescing oil and ultra-fine particulates.
- Size: 0.01 micron
- Feature: Like the first stage, this filter is equipped with a filter change indicator, making maintenance easier and ensuring the system operates at peak efficiency.
3. 3rd Stage Filter with Filter Change Indicator
- Function: The 3rd stage uses a charcoal filter to remove organic vapors and objectionable odors.
- Size: 0.03 micron
- Feature: A filter change indicator is included to alert users when the charcoal filter needs replacing.
4. Automatic Drains in 1st and 2nd Stage Filter Assemblies
The system incorporates automatic drains in the 1st and 2nd stage filter assemblies. These drains ensure that water and particulates are efficiently removed, preventing system blockage and extending the life of the filters.
5. Optional Carbon Monoxide Monitor (CO/O2)
An optional carbon monoxide monitor is available for enhanced air safety. This monitor detects harmful gases, ensuring the air remains free from dangerous contaminants. If any carbon monoxide is detected, the system will immediately alert users, allowing them to take swift corrective action.
6. AC Power Supply
The system runs on AC power, which makes it suitable for use in environments with stable electricity sources. This power setup ensures that the filtration system remains operational even during extended shifts.
7. Incoming Air Plug and Compatibility
Equipped with a 1/2” industrial interchange incoming air plug, the system can be easily connected to standard industrial air sources, facilitating seamless integration into existing setups.
8. Visual Air Flow Meter
A visual air flow meter is included to monitor airflow in real-time. This feature allows users to confirm that the system is operating correctly and that airflow remains within safe parameters.
9. External Warning Lights and Alarm
In addition to the visual indicators, the system features external warning lights and alarms. These notifications provide immediate alerts if any issues with air quality or system pressure arise, allowing workers to respond promptly.
10. Safety Relief Valve
The system includes a safety relief valve, which protects against overpressure situations. This feature adds an extra layer of safety, ensuring the system remains operational and secure under all circumstances.
11. User-Specified Respirator Couplings
To ensure a proper fit, the system offers user-specified respirator couplings, which come with protective dust caps. This customization ensures that the respirators are securely connected and safe to use.
12. Remote Alarm Jack for Enhanced Monitoring
Finally, the system includes a remote alarm jack, allowing users to connect the filtration unit to external monitoring systems. This feature helps ensure that any alarm or issue is promptly addressed.
