Diving equipment for construction machines.
Basically, a compressed air system (ADLA) for construction machines can be compared to diving equipment.
The operator cabin is fully independent from the surrounding atmosphere. The breathing air is supplied in the form of compressed air stored in on-board tanks. This guarantees the health and survival of your employees and allows working safely even in hostile environments.
The supply of breathing air is stored in compressed air tanks. For this purpose, the construction machine is usually equipped with 4 steel bottles with a volume of 50 liters each. They contain oxygen in compressed form wich is fed into the pressurized cabin via an Airbox. The Airbox includes all required valves, as well as the pressure regulator to reduce the compressed air from appx 300 bar to a level close to ambient pressure.
Adaptive Air Control from SEKA is an intelligent breathing air control unit designed for the demand-related adjustment of the air flow. It always directs exactly the amount of air into the cabin that is needed to provide the required breathing air quality at the intended pressure. This system is able to actually double the availability of the construction machine.
The combination of the SEKA Adaptive Air Control system with an intelligent compressor design results in considerably lower investments for the overall system. If a construction machine needs to be operated in combination with a compressed air system only for specific projects, a cost-effective option is renting the compressor station temporarily.
