Air pump CAP-4

air-drivenmobiletransport

The Apollo Ambient Air Pump conveys breathing air from a clean-air environment outside the work area to low-pressure respirators worn by one to four operators inside the blast environment. The CAP-4 pumps air to the respirators without introducing oil, carbon monoxide, or other contaminants. The following items are required for operation, but are not included with this equipment: • Compressed air supply between 30 and 70 cfm (depending upon the type and number of respirators used) capable of producing at a minimum of 85 psi with respirators connected, not to exceed 100 psi • One to four NIOSH-approved low-pressure, type CE supplied-air respirators or up to six full face masks, approved to operate at 10 psi or less, and suitable for the application • Appropriate approved respirator hose(s) • Output from the ambient air pump must meet the standard for Grade D breathing air, as defined by the Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification: G-7.1 (www.csgnet.com) The Apollo Ambient Air Pump must be placed outside of the blast environment in an area free of airborne contaminants. These potential contaminants include, but are not limited to the following — fumes from paints and solvents, exhausts from vehicles and compressors, smoke from burn barrels, and dust from abrasive blasting or other construction activities. The ambient air pump moves air from a clean location to supply low-pressure respirators. To increase its effective range, the ambient air pump can be connected to an optional remote inlet kit — which allows the air inlet to be located up to 300 feet from the pump.
