Breathing Air

Parker domnick hunter breathing air purifiers provide air 1,000,000 times cleaner than the air we normally breathe.

A number of international breathing air standards exist which define the quality of breathing air that must be provided to operators working in contaminated environments or applications that require breathing quality air, e.g. Europe EN12021, UK BS4275: 1997 etc.

Contaminants frequently present in compressed air that threaten the well being of breathing air users are:

  • Fumes
  • Vapours
  • Solid particles
  • Oil
  • Gases (CO and CO2)
  • Micro-organisms

For compressed air to be suitable for breathing air applications, it must be properly purified to ensure that it meets the relevant Breathing Air Standard.

Parker domnick hunter LP and HP breathing air purifiers are designed to offer the user protection against some or all of the contaminants that may be present in a compressed air fed breathing air system or SCUBA equipment.

As the world leader in filtration and purification of compressed air, Parker domnick hunter offers unrivalled experience in the design and manufacture of air treatment equipment.

Regenerative Breathing Air

The Parker domnick hunter AIRPACK 2000 is a lightweight and portable regenerative breathing air purifier that provides breathable air for up to four users. Effective respiratory protection of this type enables personnel to concentrate on the job in hand and work productively while preventing long term health problems.

High Pressure Breathing Air Purifiers

The Parker domnick hunter range of high pressure breathing air purifiers can be used with most high pressure compressed air systems up to 350 bar g (5075 psi g).

The HPBA units offer complete protection against carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) when filling diving bottles.

Submarine Diving Air

During extended periods of undersea operations, high concentrations of CO2 can build up in a submarine’s internal environment. Using this contaminated air to fill diving bottles poses serious health and safety issues for divers.

A compact system from Parker domnick hunter effectively reduces CO2 to a safe level of typically less than 500 ppm. Fully regenerative technology enables the system to operate continuously, while an integrated air quality detection system and safety features provide operational integrity. This proven system has been in service with the Royal Navy since 2000.
