Fire filtering self rescue respirator (also known as smoke and gas mask, fire escape mask) is a respiratory device that protects the human respiratory organs from external toxic gases.
What is the difference between a fire self rescue respirator and a regular air respirator? What are its characteristics?
Great difference: fire self rescue respirator (escape respirator), air respirator (fire air respirator)
1. Different types of work: fire self rescue respirators are self rescue type, while air respirators are working type
2. The principle is different: fire self rescue respirators are generally filter type and rely on the environment, while air respirators are self-contained and do not rely on the environment (with their own air bottles);
3. Different usage times: Fire self rescue respirators are generally shorter; Air respirators can last for more than 1 hour, and can be even longer depending on the model;
4. Structural performance: The fire self rescue breathing apparatus is easy to operate and use. Generally, factories have backup equipment, but there are few backup equipment available. Most of them are used by professional personnel in emergency rescue situations.
