Breathing Air Compressors

Product catalog summary
Overview: This document provides specifications and operational guidelines for Air Systems International's ambient air pumps, specifically models BAC-10, BAC-17, BAC-20, and BAC-20P, designed for use with constant flow respirators in hazardous locations.
Specifications:
  • BAC-10: Supports 1 hood style respirator or 2 tight-fitting masks. Maximum pressure is 15 psi with outputs of 10 psi at 9 cfm and 9.5 cfm at 4 psi. Features a 3/4 HP electric motor and weighs approximately 55 lbs.
  • BAC-17: Supports 2 hood style respirators or 3 tight-fitting masks. Maximum pressure is 15 psi with outputs of 12 cfm at 15 psi and 15 cfm at 4 psi. Features a 1.5 HP electric motor and weighs approximately 96 lbs. An optional explosion-proof motor is available.
  • BAC-20: Supports 2 hood style respirators or 4 tight-fitting masks. Maximum pressure is 15 psi with outputs of 16 cfm at 15 psi and 20 cfm at 4 psi. Features a 2 HP electric motor and weighs approximately 103 lbs.
Replacement Filters: All models require two replacement filters: a pump/compressor filter and an air intake filter. Specific models have designated filter replacements, including HEPA options for certain models.
Operational Guidelines: Ensure the use of constant flow respirators approved for ambient air pumps under 15 psi. Specify the correct respirator coupling size when ordering. Compressors must be placed in clean air environments as per OSHA 1910.134. These pumps are not suitable for pressure demand respirators or Vortex cooling tubes due to low output pressure.
Additional Information: The document also mentions the availability of explosion-proof models and directs users to further resources for respirator cooling solutions.

Specify the approved respirator coupling size when ordering a particular model pump that matches the respirator hose selected. Compressors MUST be placed in a clean air environment per OSHA 1910.134. Ambient air pumps are not designed for use with pressure demand respirators or Vortex cooling tubes due to low output pressure.
