According to Norsok Z-015 the breathing air system must be placed with adequate provision of fresh air from a suitable area through the supplied flexible hose with gas detector. The air intake unit should not be placed in the immediate proximity of exhaust from other machines, exhaust fans or any other equipment that can contaminate the air.
The E Compressor is equipped with an internal gas sensor that will give a warning, and shut down the operation, if the values of explosive gasses exceed 10% LEL.
If a shut down related to explosive gas occurs, it is important to flush the flexible inlet hose to remove any gas still present in the hose.
