1.2 About FreshAir Flow Control system

FreshAir is a respiratory protective system, which is based on the principle of circulated pressurized air in the hood. The belt-mounted blower unit delivers air through a lter and via an air hose into a headpiece. The supply of ltered air creates positive pressure inside the headpiece, which prevents the external contaminated air from entering the user’s breathing zone.

The supply of air also ensures the user comfortable breathing without having to overcome the resistance of lters.

FreshAir Flow Control respiratory system meets the European standard EN 12941, when used with Beta/Delta 90 FreshAir helmets.

It provides protection against non-toxic and toxic particles, solid and liquid aerosols.

2. PRECONDITIONS FOR USE

FreshAir Flow Control respiratory system can be used for protection against solid and liquid particles in breathing air in welding and similar processes. Do not use it against toxic gases and vapours.

Before you can use the system correctly and safely, you must fully understand all of the following precautions.

• Oxygen concentration in the surrounding area must not drop under 17%.

• Type and concentration of the contaminants in the working place must be known to the user.

• The FreshAir respiratory system must not be used in unventilated areas such as tanks, pipes, channels etc.

• The FreshAir respiratory system must not be used in areas with danger of explosion.

• The respiratory system must only be used with the blower unit switched on.

• The air ow must be checked before use.

• If the blower unit stops working for any reason, the user must leave

the contaminated area immediately.

• If the blower unit is switched o, the respiratory system gives little or no respiratory protection. There is also a risk of high concentration of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and of oxygen reduction inside the headpiece.

NOTE! During a period of really hard work when user’s breathing

becomes very intense, pressure may decrease inside the hood and thus the protective eect can decrease.

• The headpiece must t the user´s face perfectly, only then the eciency of the system is sucient. The protective eect of the complete system is reduced, if the seal of the headpiece is not tted properly, for example, due to beards or long hair breaking the seal.

• It must be ensured that the air hose does not make a loop and does not get caught or trapped in the surroundings.

• Respiratory system FreshAir Flow Control is restricted for protection against solid and liquid particles only. Do not use it against toxic gases and vapours.

• It is essential to choose the correct type of lter according to the type of contamination.

• A particle lter must not be used for protection against gases.

• A gas lter must not be used for protection against particles.
