WHAT IS A SCBA?
A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is a respiratory device that contains and delivers breathable compressed air. It is typically used by the firefighters and rescue workers while operating in areas of immediate danger to life and health, such as inside a building inferno or in a mine filled with smoke or toxic gas. A self-contained breathing apparatus may also be called a compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA).
TYPES OF SCBA
- Air Breathing Apparatus: The SCBA supplies the compressed air from the air cylinder to the wearer through cylinder valve, pressure reducer, pressure demand valve. Exhaled air goes to the atmosphere through an exhalation valve.
- Oxygen Breathing Apparatus: The SCBA supplies the compressed oxygen from the oxygen cylinder to the wearer through cylinder valve, pressure reducer, demand valve, etc. Carbon dioxide in exhaled air is absorbed by the absorbing canister, and oxygen is re-supplied through the breathing bag.
SCBA COMPONENTS
The equipment consists of:
- One or two cylinders containing air under pressure
- A harness to mount the cylinder on the back of the person
- A respiratory system which has a means to reduce the pressure of air from the cylinder and of supplying the wearer with air on demand
- A facemask is attached to a demand valve that maintains a positive pressure inside the mask at all times
