PROTECTION OF BREATHING ORGANS BY FIRES
Purpose. Determination of the dependence of the respiratory resistance on the form of a regenerative cartridge of a breathing apparatus. Methodology. Statistical analysis of results of investigations of the breathing apparatus stand-tested in the laboratory. Results. The practical investigations carried-out have shown the lower breathing resistance in a self-rescuer with a regenerative cartridge having the radial direction of the gas-air mixture flow in comparison to the direct-flow regenerative cartridges. Novelty. The regenerative cartridge with the radial direction of the gas-air mixture flow was used in the self-rescuer. Practical value. The self-rescuer was developed to safe the breathing organs of a man by the fires.
