Atemluftleitungen

Atemluftleitungen, also known as breathing air lines or airline respirators, are systems that supply clean, breathable air to individuals working in hazardous environments. These systems are critical in situations where the ambient air is contaminated with toxic gases, vapors, or insufficient in oxygen. The air is typically supplied from a source of compressed air, such as a compressor or a bank of cylinders, and then delivered through a reinforced hose to the user's respirator.

The primary function of an atemluftleitung is to provide a continuous and reliable supply of air that meets specific purity standards. This ensures that the wearer can breathe safely and effectively without inhaling harmful substances. The air is often filtered and sometimes conditioned before being delivered to the user, removing moisture, oil, and particulate matter. Atemluftleitungen are commonly used in industries like welding, painting, chemical handling, and confined space entry.

These systems require careful maintenance and regular testing to ensure the integrity of the air supply. Components such as hoses, fittings, regulators, and air monitoring equipment must be inspected and certified to prevent failures. The length and diameter of the hose are important considerations, as they affect the air pressure and flow rate reaching the user. Proper training on the use and limitations of atemluftleitungen is essential for worker safety.
