Why would I need a Pressurized Filtration System?
When the content of dust, gas/ vapour or other aerosol* in the air is so high that there’s no clean breathing air left in the cabin, we speak of air pollution. A pressurized filtration system is categorized as personal protective equipment (PPE). This system will purify the air in the cabin and make it safe to breathe.
This system:
- Prevents lung diseases such as asthma, bronchitis or worse for you or your colleagues.
- Reduces the risk of sick absence of staff.
- Protects your equipment and electronics in your machine
- Prevents prolonged (lung)diseases and unnecessary healthcare costs.
* Aerosol: Chemical & Biological particles in the air (atomized).
When Should I Use a Pressurized Filtration System?
For example when you are dealing with demolition or soil remediation, a pressurized filtration system is beneficial.
How the system is built
The Pressurized Filtration System consists of a filter unit, blower and dust HEPA and/or carbon filters.
Air from outside is blown into the system, then the air passes through dust and/or carbon filters.
The clean filtered air is now blown into the cabin for you to breath during worktime.
What is necessary for a functioning system?
Beside a Pressurized Filtration System, airconditioning is needed to ensure a fresh and healthy work environment in your vehicle.
For optimum operation of the Pressurized Filtration System it is necessary to completely seal the cabin/workspace. No contaminated air can enter so pressure in the cabin remains optimal.
The minimum pressure value is 120 Pa.
Our units can be equipped with an A.O.C. controller. This monitoring device determines and controls the cabin air quality. The system is especially designed to maintain pressure in the cabin.
CAUTION: If the cabin is not sealed properly (large gaps, receding doors, holes) then the required pressure can not be achieved and unfiltered air can enter the cabin. With open windows and/ or doors, the pressure is no longer present. When closed, the system will automatically rebuild the correct amount of pressure in your cabin.
What is the system made of?
All Brofil Pressurized Filtration Systems are completely made of Inox 304 (Stainless Steel), including all fasteners. Some of the systems have a high quality plastic cover, like the B10 Combi.
The carbon filter frames are made of galvanized steel. All of our dust filters have an aluminum frame.
