2. PURPOSE, DESIGN AND OPERATION PRINCIPLES
OF THE BREATHING APPARATUS
The breathing apparatus is designed to protect the user’s respiratory system from the harmful eects
of respiration in an IDLH atmosphere during the performance of mine rescue, emergency rescue, and
technical operations in coal mines and other industrial facilities.
The breathing apparatus ensures reliable protection of the human respiratory system in an atmosphere
that contains insucient oxygen or contains toxic gases and coal dust. It’s designed for operation at
an air temperature of minus 6 °C to plus 60 °C (it is allowed to operate the breathing apparatus at the
temperature of minus 20 °C, but when donning the temperature should not be below 10 °C), relative
humidity of up to 100 % and atmospheric pressure of 70-125 kPa.
The breathing apparatus is a self-contained device that supplies pure oxygen. The breathing gas
mixture circulates in a closed respiratory circuit. Soda-lime CO2absorber absorbs carbon dioxide
contained in a mixture of gases exhaled by the user. In the breathing bag, the gas mixture is enriched
with oxygen from an oxygen cylinder. At low and normal respiration frequency (resting state, walking
at a normal rate), oxygen is supplied to the breathing bag only through a constant flow dosing valve.
At an increased breathing frequency, an additional amount of oxygen is fed through the demand
valve or the manual bypass valve. The breathing mixture heated by the regeneration reaction and
cools down in the separator and cooler. In order to reduce the temperature of the inhaled gas mixture
and thereby minimize the user’s discomfort and as well as during work at an elevated ambient
temperature, the cooling elements (water ice cube) are placed into the cooler of the breathing
apparatus.
The breathing apparatus is also equipped with digital device that signals that the cylinder valve is
closed or that there is no oxygen in the system the cylinder pressure drops below 5.5 MPa. This
device also has a number of additional information-related features, which are described below.
The model of breathing apparatus may also be equipped with connecting device based on
medium-pressure between breathing apparatuses, which is available as an option for the customers.

cartridge from the factory packaging and sealed plugs from the fittings. After use, the cartridge must be
marked as «USED» and disposed of as soon as possible.
CAUTION!
Do not fill the cartridge with a used, unsieved, or expired soda lime absorber.
Filling the breathing apparatus with oxygen
The breathing apparatus cylinder must be filled with gaseous oxygen that is suitable for breathing
and has parameters of medical-grade oxygen with a minimum degree of purification of 99.5 %
by volume.
The oxygen pressure in the cylinder must correspond to the values given in the graph below for
dierent temperatures.

The deviation of pressure from the specified values by no more than 1.0 MPa is permitted
Gas temperature in the cylinder is considered as an equal to the ambient temperature if the
cylinder has been kept at such a temperature for at least 5 hours.
The filling of the cylinder must be carried out with intermediate time lag in two or three stages,
each time the temperature inside the cylinder should equalize with the environment.
NOTE!
For easy and convenient filling of oxygen cylinders,it is recommended to use DEZEGA Oxygen gas
booster system HIHPG2.
Preparation of cooling elements
Use special forms for water ice with lids to freeze water ice cubes.

DEZEGA Р-70i
17
Before use, fill the cooling briquette with water, preferably distilled. To do so, unscrew the cap and
fill it with water up to the level of the lower edge of the upper part of the element. Filling with water
must be carried out by placing the briquette in a container for freezing. Remove the briquette and,
by squeezing the elastic walls, minimize the air space between the water and the cap. Screw the lid
tightly. When freezing, the volume of ice is approximately 10% larger than the volume of water, so
when it freezes, the ice will occupy the entire volume defined for it.
Place the forms into the freezer of an industrial, commercial, or household refrigerator until they are
completely frozen.
CAUTION!
The temperature in the freezing chamber must be below -5 °C.
After complete freezing, keep at least one set of cooling elements in the freezer compartment and
one in a thermos, which should be continuously kept in a refrigerator.
Place the cooling element into the cooler of the breathing apparatus before work if the path to the
high temperature zone takes no more than 30 min. Otherwise, it is recommended to carry the ice
cubes in a thermos bag.
The eective time of water ice elements depends upon environmental conditions and the intensity
of the user’s work in a breathing apparatus, so the required amount of ice cubes may be determined
on the basis of the expected duration of work and physical activity. Fully frozen ice cubes reduce the
temperature of inhaled air by 4-7 °C.
CAUTION!
The eective time of the cooling element may vary significantly depending on the load and the ambient
temperature.
9. BREATHING APPARATUS ASSEMBLY
Before assembly, make sure that all its parts do not have deformations, cracks, or other damages.
Before assembly, all parts and components of the breathing apparatus must be cleaned, disinfected,
and dried. Ensure that all sealing elements are in place and tight, and connections are not
contaminated with oil or grease.
