Abstract

A powered air-purifying respirator that includes an enclosure, defining a single contiguous enclosed interior, an inlet duct, including an inlet and a distribution portion, that guides ambient air to the interior of the enclosure, a plurality of filter canisters disposed within the interior of the enclosure, and a blower that forces air through the at least one inlet, into the interior of the enclosure and through the plurality of filter canisters to produce filtered air suitable for breathing. A valve controls the flow of ambient air through the inlet duct. A fluid dam, disposed in an air path between the inlet and the filter canisters prevents liquids from reaching the filter canisters. The enclosure is reinforced and is adapted to provide protection for the filter canister from flame and heat while the filter canister is in use. A recirculation valve recycles previously-filtered air back into the enclosure.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is entitled to and claims U.S. Patent Application No. 11 / 100,257, filed April 6, 2005, entitled "Portable Air-Purifying System Utilizing Enclosed Filters," and filed April 6, 2004, entitled "Combined Air-Supplied / Air-Purifying System”, the entire subject matter of both applications is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to respirator devices, and in particular to portable powered air-purifying respirators utilizing one or more enclosed filters. Background technique [0004] Various devices are known for providing breathable air in hazardous environments. Two specific common types are the air filtration type, in which the ambient air is filtered to remove hazardous pollutants so that the user can breathe the air safely, and the self-contained breathing apparatus ("SCBA") type, in which the user carries and Use pressurized container with ...
