What is an Auto-Air System?

If IDLH work environments exist, the the Auto-Air™ Breather Box® option should be considered. The Auto-Air™ filtration system was developed to provide Grade-D breathing air with full automatic reserve air in the event of either electrical failure or reduced pressure from the main air source while working in hazardous environments. Reserve air activation occurs a 60psi and/or loss of electrical supply, the system automatically switches to the reserve air cylinder(s). Local and optional remote alarms signal the workers that the primary air system has failed and has switched to the back-up air system. The Auto-Air™ feature is offered in electric or pneumatic versions. Note: IDLH conditions require the use of a pressure demand respirator with at least a 5 minute escape cylinder. For technical questions, contact Air Systems' Customer Service Department.aa box close

NIOSH requires the use of 5 minute airline escape respirators when working in IDLH environments. Our Auto-Air™ feature does not replace the NIOSH requirement, however, some work environments may require a 30 minute or longer airline escape method to safely egress the hazardous area. This situation would require the use of an Auto-Air Breather Box® or Cart.

 

Auto Air Breather Box

The primary air line connection is attached from the compressor to the Auto-Air™ Breather Box®. A reserve air line is attached from a single or bank of air cylinders based on the required egress duration. The system can be tested prior to each use to ensure proper function of the Auto-Air™ system.

Blast Air

 

The Blast-Air™ Cart has been designed to meet the demanding needs of the sandblast and coatings industry. The Blast-Air™ 50 pictured is our standard 4 worker Breather Box® mounted on a BA-1CAA pre-filter cart.  Air can be supplied to the cart from mobile or plant air compressors and pre-filtered through high capacity water, oil, and particulate separators located on the rear of the rugged steel cart.  These pre-filters automatically drain large amounts of oil and water discharged from a compressor before it enters the Breather Box®. This process extends the filter life of the Breather Box® and reduces maintenance downtime and costs.

Did Your Know

The Responsibility for the Quality of Breating air Rests with the User.

The air supply compressor should be located in a safe, clean ambient air environment. This "safe" location should be tested periodically to ensure clean ambient air quality on a consistent basis. Total system air quality should be tested at the time the compressor is initially set up. If the compressor is moved, retesting air quality is recommended. Should the location or environment significantly change, the air quality should be retested. 

AirCheck√ Kit™

Certified laboratory air testing is now available for high pressure bottled air or low pressure compressor air requirements. Take your own samples in 10 minutes and send out for precise laboratory results. A 2LA accredited lab will test to any recognized standards, e.g., CGA, NFPA, or Federal MIL Specs. Results can be obtained in less than 3 days; same day service is available for an additional charge.

Compressed Air Cylinder Test Kit

The Model AQTCOO2KIT Cylinder Test Kit was designed to rapidly test rented cylinder's breathing air quality before use and obtain an immediate and accurate Oxygen (O2) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) reading for blended high pressure cylinder air.  The meter requires two 9-volt batteries for operation and is supplied with a 10 foot  high pressure hose, 5000 psi regulator, and a universal CGA-347hand tight cylinder connector.

Air Quality Test Kit

Air Systems breathing air quality test kits are designed to test the air produced by compressors (Model LP-A4) and compressed air in cylinders (Model HP-A4 and HP-A445).  These tests are accomplished through the use of low cost detector tubes that provide a "go/no go" test of the air quality.  If a high reading is found, this signals the user that they have a potentially unacceptable quality of breathing air.  If this occurs, a laboratory analysis of the air components must be made to determine the exact readings of the air quality and take corrective action.
