Clemco CAP-1 Ambient Air Pump
The Apollo Ambient Air Pump conveys breathing air from a clean environment outside the work area to a low-pressure type CE supplied-air respirator worn by an operator inside the blast environment or work zone. The oil-less pump moves the air from a clean-air environment to the respirator without introducing oil, carbon monoxide, or other contaminants.
Advantages
- Eliminates expense of breathing air compressor
- Eliminates danger of carbon monoxide poisoning caused when high temperatures break down a compressor’s lubricants
- Requires no temperature alarms or additional air line filters
- Works with Clemco’s CO Monitor Alarm (when specifications call for air monitoring)
- Hand portable
- Easy to operate and maintain
- Can be used as air source for other respirators that operate at 9 cfm at 10 psi
