Breathing air filter

Aandemiddel

Air-Fed air from the air compressor can be used where there is a low oxygen concentration (less than 17% vol.) Or the ambient air is not suitable for breathing air.

The Danish working environment authority has prepared an AT-guidance regarding Compressed air breathing apparatus D. 5.1 by July 2000.

AT manual describes in requirements for breathing air quality. It also commands a check of this (should be at least 1 time per year).

System setup in breathing systems

1. Intake of fresh air zone with coarse filter.
2. Oil-lubricated compressor with integrated intake filter.
2a. Monitoring of the compressor temperature.
3. After cooler cyclone.
4. Particle filter 1µm.
Particle filter 0.01 µm.
6. Adsorption Dryer
7. Dust Filter 1 micron.
8. Storage Container ("dry air").
9. Temperature measurement.
10. Double-filter (0,01 µm particle filter and carbon filter).
11. Reducing Valve.

Product benefits

  • - The filter housing has automatic drain valve (filter SMF) we recommend Max. inlet temperature of 35°C.
  • - The particle filter removes solid particles larger> 0,01 µm, with life one of about 1 year.
  • - Carbon filter that removes oil and oil vapor down to 0,003 ppm, life is about 1000 hours.
  • - Reducing Valve w/pressure gauge that adjusts the working pressure manually.
  • - Max pressure 10 bar, normal working pressure 4-5 bar.
