2、 product
description
VOLER positive pressure air breathing
apparatus is composed of the following parts:
Air is compressed in the cylinder(pressure
of 30MPa).Compressed air is reduced to (0.75±0.15) MPa through
the pressure reducer, and led to medium pressure hose. Then it is reduced in
pressure again through the demand valve and provided to user through full mask.
The outside toxic gas or particles can not
get inside because the pressure inside the mask is always higher than the
atmospheric pressure. Thus the tightness of the face mask is guaranteed.
2.1 Full mask
Full mask is specially designed for Asian
face, ensuring comfort and good seal that provides an efficient tightness
2.2 Demand valve
The demand valve provides air to the wearer
depending on the air breathing need of the wearer. It ensures a higher air
pressure inside the face mask than outside pressure.
The demand valve can be manually switched
off thanks to the switcher(C) on the top of the valve, and then no air is
provide to the face mask. The demand valve is automatically switched on at the
first inhalation of the wearer.
At the central bottom of valve, there is a
manual control air supply button(D) to be used to:
-Switch on the demand valve manually;
-Gave an additional breath of air if the
wearer feels supply deficiency.
Besides, it can release the remaining air
inside the medium pressure hose which is more convenient for test and
disassembly of the quick connector.
2.3 Pressure reducer
The pressure reducer is made of brass with
anticorrosive coating. Compressed air is reduced in pressure by the pressure
reducer to (0.75±0.15)MPa. Pressure reducer delivers a constant and stable pressure during
the life time of the cylinder. Pressure reducer is connected to :
-Cylinder;
-Medium pressure hose which is connected to
demand valve and providing air;
-High pressure hose which is connected to
pressure gauge.
2.4 Safety valve
Safety valve locates on the pressure
reducer. When medium pressure is overhigh, the safety valve switches on
automatically to release air, and switches off after medium pressure reduces
too normal value.
It is regulated in the norm GA124-2004 “fire
fighting positive pressure air breathing apparatus ” that, opening pressure and
fully exhausting pressure of safety valve should be within 110% to 170% of
maximum designing output pressure of pressure reducer; and the closing pressure
of safety valve is no less than maximum designing output pressure. That is :
Safety valve opening pressure and fully exhausting
pressureL0.99-1.53)MPa
Safety valve closing pressure:≥0.09MPa.
2.5Pressure gauge and warning device
The scale of pressure gauge is (0-40)MPa. The
gauge connects to pressure reducer through high pressure hose. Fluorescent
material is used in dial plate, which enables the pressure value to be read
clearly in dark. The watchcase takes high anti-impact material, with rubber
protective cover, to be water proof, shock
proof and anti dust. The warning device locates on the high pressure hose near
pressure gauge, which actuates the audible warning when cylinder pressure drops
to (5.5±0.5)MPa. From the beginning of the warning, the user has to leave
the polluted area immediately, and then plug a new cylinder if needed.
2.6Back plate assembly with harness
Back plate assembly includes back plate,
harness, waist belt, buckle, pressure reducer holder and cylinder tightening
belt. Injected with flame resistant plastic and carbon fiber material, the back
plate is compact, light, high mechanical resistant, and anti-impact. It is
designed to fit human body’s back, notably regarding ergonomics and comfort. All
the components of the back plate assembly are fire retardant treated.
2.7 Medium pressure hose
The medium pressure hose is linked to the
pressure reducer and to the demand valve. It is made from flame resistant
rubber. The explosion pressure is 4MPa,more than 4 times of maximum output
pressure from pressure reducer.
2.8 Cylinder and cylinder valve
The cylinder is made from fully wrapped
carbon fibre reinforce aluminum lined. With 6.8L’s capacity, it ensures 1 hour
of moderate activity in real use.
3.0 Operation sequence
3.1 Cylinder connecting

reducer hoses together.
Connector is securely locked. To disconnect
apply a slight axial force while sliding back the female connector ring. Don’t
disconnect when the hose is under pressure. Press button on the demand valve to
avoid air leaks when donning the set.
3.3 Quick check before use
(before use, the following sequences should be followed to avoid danger)
A) Pressure of compressed air in the
cylinder:
With valve fully opened, the valve of
pressure gauge is 30 MPa, under 30MPa and 20℃.Otherwise , the
effective using time will be shortened.
B)Air-tightness of cylinder:
It is regulated in the norm GA124*2004 that
when open and close the pressure gauge, pressure drop on the gauge should be no
more than 2MPa within one minute.
D)
Warning system:
-Close the demand valve;
-Open cylinder valve to fill the hose with
air, and then close it ;
-Open demand valve manual control button, vent
the air off slowly with hand palm and observe the value change of pressure
gauge;
-The warning system start working when the
pressure gauge shows(5.5±0.5)MPa.
3.4 Donning the set
A) Adjusting the back plate
Set the shoulder straps at maximum length:
don the set and pill down the straps tips until the back plate rests
comfortably on the user’s back.
