NBC filtration system (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical)
max. 300m³/h, ±10%
Bioquell
The NBC Filter Station comprises a frame onto which is mounted a large filter housing and an electrically driven fan. The system incorporates the NATO standard 300m3/hr naval composite filter. A small heater is installed within the filter housing. This is designed to warm the inside of the unit and reduce relative humidity, hence prolonging the life of the charcoal within the composite filter. Air is drawn through the system by the fan and is discharged into existing air distribution ducting to provide the ship it's overpressure for collective protection. Control of this overpressure is achieved by a pressure relief valve which vents air not otherwise lost through general leakage.
