REGENERATION PROCESS IN A SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS, CHEMICAL OXYGEN TYPE
Purpose. To investigate the parameters of air regeneration processes in the self-contained breathing apparatuses with a regenerative product based on potassium superoxide. Methodology. Experimental and theoretical methods of investigations. Results. The factors affecting the velocity and nature of the regeneration processes in the self-contained breathing apparatuses have been determined for reducing the sintering of the regenerative product based on potassium superoxide. Scientific novelty. The heat removal intensity and the influence of air flow direction on the velocity and nature of the regeneration processes in the self-contained breathing apparatuses with the regenerative product have been determined. Practical value. The obtained investigation results will permit to optimize the regeneration processes, to reduce the mass-volume characteristics of the breathing apparatus and to improve the conditions for breathing.
