Portable Breathing Air Compressors
FOR USE WITH PRESSURE DEMAND RESPIRATORS ONLY


The Twin-Air  compressor system has been designed to provide Grade-D breathing air to 3 workers wearing pressure demand respirators. The TA-3 has twin ASME receiver tanks that act as the mounting frame for the compressor. The use of the ASME tank provides air that has been cooled to within 10 degrees of the ambient temperature. We've added full pneumatic tires for ease of mobility in rough terrain and a bottom skid plate for going up or down stairs. This plates becomes the frame for the addition of a reserve air cylinder on the model TA-3EA. Any 30-60 minute air cylinder can be installed on the TA-3 frame. With the addition of a pressure reducing regulator and an Auto-Air Breather Box, you now have a 3-worker compressor with full automatic backup air for IDLH operation.  This compressor is not designed for use with constant flow respirators.

Model COMP-1
Shown above with TA-1 Compressor, BB15-CO Breather Box and H-25-3 Connect Hose
The TA-1 compressor has been designed to operate 1 constant flow hood style respirator and a vortex cooling tube or 2 pressure demand airline respirators.  Grade-D filtration must be provided in the form of a 1 or 2 man Breather Box.  The TA-1 uses a 115/230 VAC 60 Hz electrical supply and is available with an optional gasoline engine for mobile operations.

Vortex cooling tubes can not be used on this system.
