Requirements for compressed air supplied from the compressor
• The CAP Conditioner can only be connected to compressor which supplies air at an oxygen concentration of
20 % to 22 % vol. The carbon dioxide concentration must not exceed 500 ppm and the carbon monoxide
concentration must not exceed 15 ppm.
• The maximum concentration of water in the air may be 50 mg/m³ at the rated pressure of 1 to 20 MPa. The
humidity of the supplied air must be controlled to prevent the unit from freezing.
3. Control and maintenance
Lifetime of the hood and visors is influenced by many factors such as: cold, heat, chemicals, sunlight or
incorrect use. The hood should be checked on a daily basis of possible damage of its inside or outside
