Feature description

The powered air purifying respirator is a respiratory protective
device depending on circulating air. It filters the ambient air
and makes it available as breathable air. The device
continuously takes in ambient air through the filter. The filter
absorbs harmful substances depending on the filter type. In
this way, the ambient air is recycled and finally reaches the
facepiece. There it is available as breathable air.
A continuous overpressure in the facepiece prevents ambient
air from penetrating.
