Applications
The BAP Series is used in several industries, including petrochemical, asbestos abatement, paint spray, protective coatings, and confined spaces. These purifiers protect workers from hazardous fumes and ensure safe breathing conditions.

Energy Management
An optional energy management system optimizes purge air requirements based on real-time load, reducing energy consumption by managing drying times effectively.

Purification Capabilities
BAP Breathing Air Purifiers remove moisture, solid particles, oil aerosols, carbon monoxide, and hydrocarbon vapors from compressed air, ensuring it is safe for use with supplied-air breathing devices.

Filtration Process
The purification process involves six stages of filtration, including general purpose filters, high-efficiency oil removal, desiccant dryers, catalytic converters, particulate removal, and activated carbon filters.

Features and Options
The BAP Series includes features like pre-filtration, CO catalyst converters, moisture indicators, pressure gauges, and standard controllers with LED indicators. Optional features include advanced controls, breathing air analyzers, and various alarm capabilities.

Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various BAP models, including flow capacities, dimensions, and weight. It also includes capacity correction factors for different inlet air temperatures and pressures.

Breathing Air Purifiers - BAP Series-6

OPTIMIZING CAPACITY Breathing air produced by a Breathing Air Purifier system can supply various levels of use. To select a BAP Series purifier, first determine the air pressure at the purifier inlet and the maximum breathing air flow required at a given time. The chart below illustrates an example of BAP Series estimated capacities based on 6-15 scfm (10-25 m3/h) per hood, helmet or suits as calculated in the sizing table. * Contact hood manufacturer for actual capacity before sizing purifier. MODEL SPECIFICATIONS IN/OUT CONNECTIONS 1 Flow capacity rated at CAGI conditions: 100 psig (7.0 bar)...

Breathing Air Purifiers - BAP Series-7

CAPACITY CORRECTION FACTORS To adjust BAP capacity for conditions other than rated, use the correction factors (multipliers) for inlet air temperature and pressure shown below. Example: What is the capacity of a 205 scfm (348 nm3/h) model when the compressed air at the inlet is 130 psig (9 bar) and 110°F (43°C)? Answer: 205 scfm (348 nm3/h) (rated flow from Product Specifications Table) x 1.08 (correction factor for inlet air temperature and pressure) = 221 scfm (375 nm3/h)
