Filtration Batteries - CBRN Filtration Systems for Very Large Shelters and Protected Spaces
Filtration batteries (filter banks) are CBRN/CO2 filtration systems which include several CBRN or CO2 filters connected into one system for providing large volume of filtered air. Such systems typically designed for specific project requirements and can combine large number of connected in parallel filters in one system.
Customizable Filtration-Batteries for High-Volume Air Filtration in Shelters and Protected Facilities
Filtration batteries are designed with parallel connection of several CBRN or CO2 filters to create high volume of filtered air. Depending on the air volume required various filter options can be used, for example such units can include filters AFU 600, AFU 900, AFU 1200 or AFU 1800 creating a unit that can supply very high air volume in both NBC filtration and ventilation modes. The modularity of such units allow to create designs which can be fitted to limited spaces of the machine rooms or the toxic free area (TFA) of the shelter itself.
The filter banks can be designed considering the special requirements of the shelter like available allocated space, air volume, number of people, as well as specific standards (local or international), regulation or construction norms, climate zone and environmental conditions, shock resistance and blast protection requirements, and many other factors. A single shelter can have multiple filter-banks to accommodate any size of shelter and any number of people.
The Filter-Banks are based on standard and certified components, ensuring the safe operation of the system and can also be designed as manual, semi or fully automated with connection to an SMS (Shelter Management System) and an off-site remote operator.
Such Filter-Banks are usually installed in Subway Stations, Hospitals, Underground Parking Lots, Tunnels or any other large governmental or civil defense shelters.

Systems Automation, Monitoring and Control
Filtration batteries can be designed for manual or automatic operation from remote control or building (shelter) management system - BMS:
-
Manual operation - CBRN filters are kept hermetically sealed from the factory and connected by operator only in case of emergency. AFU type filters are equipped with quick connectors and can be connected in minutes. The system can be equipped with manually operated gastight valves or motorized gastight valves (GTVs) for air regulation which can be set by the operator in required position manually or from RCU.
-
Automatic operation - CBRN filters are pre-connected to the system and the system can be configurated to start by press of the button or automatically by signal from RCU, BMS or detectors in case of emergency. The system can be equipped with manually operated with motorized gastight valves (GTVs) for air regulation which can be set by the operator in required position manually or automatically to control the airflow in separate filters or complete system.
-
Other combinations between manual and automatic operation can be configurated.
Remote control unit for system monitoring and control, can be connected to building management system and detectors.
Configuration Options for Filtration Batteries
Filtration batteries can be configurated according to specific customer requirements including airflow, allocated space, filtration standards, automation and more.
