Safe-Air Trolleys

Factair is proud to launch its new range of Safe-Air Trolleys, which incorporate CO and CO2 reduction systems as standard.

The SAT450 is the ideal breathing-air purification system for those working in areas where there is a risk of higher than normal levels of carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide being ingested into the compressed-air system.

The unit incorporates a compressed-air filtration and drying system which delivers a smooth, controlled, uninterrupted supply of breathing quality air far exceeding the requirements of BS EN12021. For heavier duty applications the SAT450HD is available which also includes an additional 1 micron pre-filter.

Built to last the SAT450 is mounted within a tough polyurethane housing. With virtually no ferrous components the unit incorporates stainless and aluminium components making it suitable to be used in tough and arduous environments. The stainless steel wheeled frame allows the unit to be easily manoeuvred into position

At the rear of the unit there are 2 CEJN breathing-air outlet couplings, the pressure being delivered to the user from these outlets can be adjusted via the regulator inside the unit.

Operation

The compressed-air supply is connected to the input connection on the side of the Safe-Air Trolley, air is then passed through a 1 micron pre-filter (SAT450HD only) and a 0.01 micron combined oil mist coalescing and carbon filter further reducing oil carryover to less than 0.003ppm. The air is then delivered to a pneumatically controlled pressure swing dryer incorporating a desiccant media capable of both drying the air to a pressure dewpoint of -40°C and significantly reducing the levels of carbon dioxide. Purge air from this system is exhausted from the cabinet via silencers at the rear of the unit. The dried air is now passed through a hopcalite catalyst filter which oxidises excess levels of carbon monoxide back to safe levels of carbon dioxide.

The system provides a safe reliable source of breathing quality air in excess of all international breathing standards with the additional confidence of protection against surplus levels of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
