DETERMINATION OF THE AIR FLOW DURING THE USE OF A RESCUE DEVICE WITH A RESPIRATORY DEVICE BY COMPRESSED AIR PTS "PROFI"-M
One of the damaging factors of a fire is toxic combustion products that pose a threat to human life and health. During rescue operations and first aid to the victim, namely the isolation of the respiratory tract from contact with poisonous substances using a rescue device, the link of the gas and smoke protection service should take into account the fact that this will lead to an increase in air flow and a decrease in the time of protective action. In this regard, the article discusses the issue of determining the regularities of air supply flow rate by a gas-smoke protector when performing work of varying severity with connecting a conditional injured person to the breathing apparatus using a rescue device. Alternative alternatives of test tasks (exercises) were proposed to determine the air flow rate when performing work of varying severity with connecting a conditional victim to a breathing apparatus in compressed air PTS «Profi» -M using a rescue device. Studies have been conducted to assess the air flow during the work of light, medium, heavy and very heavy severity.
