Page 6: Technical Description
Technical Description The nano-purification solutions Breathing Air Module (NBM) is designed for use in existing systems where a properly maintained desiccant dryer and appropriate filtration is already installed. For a complete purifier package, please refer to the B1 Series Compressed Breathing Air Purifiers, or contact nano-purification solutions before proceeding. When used in the appropriate system, the NBM Purifier Modules are designed to provide a continuous supply range of breathable air to meet the most exacting standards world-wide. The design incorporates several stages of purification in one simple to service cartridge, reducing the cost of ownership and simplifying maintenance. Atmospheric air contains a number of contaminants which must be removed to ensure the provision of high purity breathable air. Contaminants present include dirt, water, oil, hydrocarbon vapors, bacteria and toxic gases such as CO, NO and SO The nano breathing air module is a static adsorber, which employs two purification stages to ensure breathable compressed air is produced from a typical compressed air supply. The purifier must be preceded by inlet filtration which removes dirt, bulk water and oil aerosols and a heatless desiccant air dryer which delivers air to -40 F pressure dewpoint. For advice on the required inlet air quality of the purifier please refer to the specification on page 7 or contact Nano Purification Solutions. The purifier removes HydroCarbon Vapors and reduces CO to specified levels through adsorbent and catalyst stages contained within removable cartridges. The cartridges are non-regenerative and should be replaced periodically inline with the product service schedule on page 17. Page 6 17-110-1494... -

*Where excessive levels of CO and CO have been identified as the norm, breathing air purifiers should not be used and alternative strategies should be derived from a risk assessment. When challenged with 750ppm When challenged with 65ppm The breathing air module should be preceded by high efficiency filtration and a heatless desiccant dryer regardless of whether an oil or oil free compressor is used. Inlet air should be filtered and dried such that it complies with ISO 8573-1: 2010 quality class 1.2.1.
