Low pressure breathing air compressor

Low Pressure Breathing Air Compressor

A Low pressure breathing air compressor is a type of compressor that is specifically designed to provide breathable air under low pressure conditions. These compressors are commonly used in a variety of applications, including scuba diving, firefighting, and industrial processes.

Overview

Low pressure breathing air compressors are designed to provide a continuous supply of breathable air, typically at pressures ranging from 50 to 150 psi. They are often used in environments where the ambient air pressure is too low to support normal respiration, such as at high altitudes or underwater.

Applications

Scuba Diving

In scuba diving, low pressure breathing air compressors are used to fill diving cylinders with breathable air. The compressor takes in ambient air, compresses it to the required pressure, and then delivers it to the diver via a regulator.

Firefighting

Firefighters often use low pressure breathing air compressors to fill their self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) units. These units provide firefighters with a supply of breathable air in situations where the ambient air is filled with smoke or other harmful gases.

Industrial Processes

In certain industrial processes, workers may be required to operate in environments with low ambient air pressure. In these situations, low pressure breathing air compressors can be used to provide a continuous supply of breathable air.
