Chambers
Chambers
This is a steel constructed refuge chamber that provides quality breathing air to miners in an emergency underground. They serve as a cache of clean, breathable air, ideal for any situation where workers could become trapped.
Chambers can be designed to meet individual customer requirements, including physical size and equipment installed.
Primary operation includes attaching to the mine’s main airlines and power sources for an indefinite supply of breathable air and electric power. If mine air is lost, an on-board carbon dioxide scrubber and oxygen cylinders provide 36 to 48 hours of breathable air. If mine power is lost, 36 to 48 hours of battery back-up power operates the CO2 scrubber, air conditioner, lighting and warning systems. Air conditioning units are included to regulate the interior temperature and humidity. Stations come standard with forklift slots, lifting and towing lugs to facilitate easy placement.
