The Benefits of Breathing Compressed Air Systems

Breathing compressed air systems are essential in various industries, providing workers with a safe and reliable source of clean air. In this article, we explore the different types, the industries that use them, and the benefits they offer.

What Are Breathing Air Systems?

Pressure-breathing air systems are technological solutions that provide breathable air in environments where it has poor air quality. Most commonly, they consist of an air compressor, filtration systems, and sometimes purifiers. These components remove contaminants from the air and distribute the purified air to the end user. Regularly performing a breathing air quality test ensures it meets specific quality standards, such as CGA grade or other universally accepted principles.

Maintaining Air Quality Standards

A safe working environment with a constant supply of purified air reduces the risk of respiratory issues and long-term health complications. It is critical to have a regular breathing air quality test carried out on compressed air systems to check the level of contaminants inside. Purifiers and filters should be regularly replaced to maintain optimal functionality. We can not overstate the importance of regular maintenance of your breathing air systems. An employee’s breathing air quality is only as good as the consistency of the maintenance performed and recorded of the compressed air breathing systems.

Why Is It Important To Provide Contaminant and Moisture Removal?

Breathing air systems, employing compressors to facilitate air supply, inherently face the challenge of exacerbating existing contaminants and moisture content in the process. This issue arises due to the compressors’ function, which increases the concentration of potential impurities in the air. These contaminants may encompass vaporized or aerosol carbon by-products originating from the compressor. Consequently, careful consideration and stringent maintenance practices are vital to ensure that the supplied air meets the required purity standards, safeguarding the health and safety of users relying on these systems in various industries and applications.

What Are the Different Types of Breathing Compressed Air Systems?

Breathing compressed air systems come in different types, tailored to specific industry needs. They differ based on the source of air, the method of compression, and the usage environment.

Self-Contained Breathing Air Compressors

These compressed air systems contain all necessary components, including a compressor, a filter, and a panel for managing distribution, as well as supplements like driers and purifiers to ensure air quality. They are often portable and handy in situations that require a mobile supply of breathable air. Fire departments frequently use self-contained breathing air systems in their breathing apparatuses to protect themselves from smoke and other hazardous substances.

Supplied Air-Breathing Compressors

Supplied air-breathing compressors pull air from a clean, external source, compress it, filter it, and supply it to the user. It is commonly used in construction and industrial processes, where breathing air quality needs to be continuously supplemented due to the presence of dust particles, chemical fumes, and other pollutants.

Emergency Escape Breathing Air Compressors

Designed to supply breathing air during emergencies, these systems include air filters, compressors, and dryers. They are typically used in industries with a risk of sudden deterioration in air quality, such as chemical plants and oil refineries.

Having the right breathing air system is vital, but it’s also important to have the appropriate instrument air dryer to ensure the highest quality of our. Just out our selection today.

The Benefits of Breathing Compressed Air Systems

Compressed Air System Efficiency

One of the key advantages of breathing compressed air systems is their efficiency. Compressed air can be easily stored and distributed throughout various applications, making it a versatile choice for many industries. The system allows for precise control and regulation of air pressure, ensuring optimal performance in diverse tasks.

Energy Saving in Air Compressors

Using compressed air for breathing purposes can save energy. Modern compressed air systems employ advanced technologies such as variable speed drives and energy-efficient components, significantly reducing power consumption. Industries can minimize their carbon footprint and achieve cost-effective operation by utilizing these features.

Repair Leaks With a Low Cost

Another advantage of breathing compressed air systems is the ability to repair them at low cost. Leaks are common in compressed air systems, resulting in energy waste and reduced system efficiency. However, since compressed air is non-toxic and readily available, it is easy to detect and repair problems without posing health risks. By promptly addressing leaks, businesses can save money by preventing unnecessary inefficiency.

Reduced Use of Pneumatic Tools

Breathing compressed air systems can lead to reduced dependence on pneumatic tools. Pneumatic tools, although widely used in various industries, require a constant supply of compressed air to function. By utilizing a separate compressed air system for breathing purposes, industries can allocate compressed air solely for respiratory needs, ensuring a safe and uninterrupted supply. This separation also eliminates the risk of contaminants or impurities entering the breathing air stream, enhancing overall workplace safety.
