Product DescriptionThe variants of the PA90 Series Lung Demand Valve are as follows:

! Type A - Positive Pressure with Push-In connector to facepiece.

! Type AE - Positive Pressure with M45 Screw-In connector to facepiece.

! Type N - Normal Demand with M40 (Rd40) Screw-In connector to facepiece.

The high performance Lung Demand Valves incorporate a precision factory setand sealed balanced piston unit that has unlimited service life.

The Dräger Warranty and Guarantee is void should any attempt be made bycustomers to make adjustment to the balanced piston unit.

Detachable variants of the lung demand valves have a medium pressure hosewith a quick release male coupling to connect the demand valve to the femalecoupling of the medium pressure hose from the pressure reducer of theappropriate C.A.B.E.

Fixed variants of the lung demand valves incorporate a medium pressure hosehaving an end fitting design for connecting directly to the medium pressureoutlet port of the pressure reducer of the appropriate C.A.B.E.

The housing of the lung demand valves are manufactured from a mouldedcomposite glass filled material that provides a high degree of strength anddurability.

Positive pressure types have a manually operated re-set lever to switch ‘OFF’the positive pressure function - this must be pressed before opening the valve ofcompressed air cylinder. First breath inhalation by the wearer will switch ‘ON’the positive pressure.

All variants include a supplementary air supply facility that is made active bypressing the centre of the protective rubber cover at the front of the lung demandvalve. Lung demand valves fitted to short duration C.A.B.E. and escape unitswill not normally include a supplementary air supply facility.

4.1 Positive Pressure Lung Demand Valves - A and AE

Refer to Figure 1.

Before turning ‘On’ the high pressure air supply the positive pressuremechanism must be switched ‘Off’ by pressing the re-set lever on theside of the lung demand valve to lift and lock the main pivot lever anddiaphragm.

On opening the cylinder valve, medium pressure air flows from thereducer through a hose and swivel banjo then into main bore ofbalanced piston block.

Increasing air pressure moves the balanced piston axially, forcing thepiston cone against the O-Ring seal located in the block - sealing ‘Off’the airflow from outlet of lung demand valve.

Refer to Figure 2.

When the wearer begins to inhale this creates a negative pressure insidethe facepiece and lung demand valve. Due to the negative pressurethe ambient air pressure acts against the diaphragm. As the diaphragmdeflects it then presses against the main hinged lever of the balancedpiston unit resulting in the release of the positive pressure ‘Off’mechanism.

Increasing deflection of the diaphragm, during inhalation, pivots thebalanced piston lever forcing it against the end cap of the piston -moving the piston axially and lifting the piston cone from its seating andreleasing air from the lung demand valve into wearer’s facepiece. Twoextension springs attached to the balanced piston block and the mainlever act on the balanced piston, lifting the sealing cone and maintaininga positive pressure (above ambient) inside the facepiece.

When the wearer stops inhaling then begins to exhale, the diaphragm,pivot lever and sealing cone retract.

The cycle repeats as the wearer begins to inhale.

5.3 Cleaning, Disinfecting and Drying

5.3.1 Important InformationDräger recommend that contaminated and dirty components orassemblies are carefully cleaned and disinfected then thoroughly driedafter use, or as and when considered necessary by the user.

To ensure correct operational condition of the equipment use thecleaning and disinfecting solutions recommended by Dräger. The useof any other product will invalidate the Dräger warranty and guarantee.

When using baths to contain cleaning and disinfecting solutions theimmersed components and assemblies must only be agitated manually.

It is important to note that Dräger Do Not recommend the use of any formof mechanical, electrical or ultrasonic agitation of this product. If the userdecides however to use ultrasonic cleaning baths then it is important thatthe instructions supplied by the manufacturer of the bath are strictly followed.

Refer to Important Notes.

Important Notes:1.The diaphragm of the lung demand valves must not be cleaned usingultrasonic techniques, as this will have a detrimental affect on the centre-bonded area of the diaphragm. Clean and disinfect the diaphragmmanually.

2. If Ultrasonic cleaning is to be used on the lung demand valve(diaphragm must be removed) this will eventually remove lubricant fromthe critical moving parts. Duration in the bath combined with theultrasonic energy of the machine will affect the time for this to occur.Following cleaning, disinfecting and drying carry out functional tests.Re-lubricate moving parts as required.

3.Immersing the lung demand valve and manual agitation will alsoeventually remove lubricants although of course this will occur over amuch longer period. Following cleaning, disinfecting and drying it isrecommended that functional tests be carried out. Re-lubricate movingparts as required.

Safety Note: When using cleaning and disinfecting agents refer to the relevantmanufacturers’ usage instructions. It is important that attention be paidto concentration and reaction times. Do Not use organic solvents suchas Acetone, Alcohol, White Spirit, Trichloroethylene or similar.
