Our company first entered into sales and service of breathing air compressors in 1985 and has steadily grown throughout Atlantic Canada. Since that time, we have had the opportunity to supply and support regional fire fighting services as well as the commercial and recreational scuba diving industry. The following is a short list of current products and services we offer. JORDAIR COMPRESSORS We chose Jordair Compressors because Jordair uses only the highest quality Bauer compressor blocks and ancillary parts. BAUER Compressors Group is known as an innovative, high quality manufacturer of compressor components for over 50 years. Jordair relies on Bauer compressor blocks to manufacture all their compressor systems. Jordair holds the distinction of being the only completely CSA approved compressor on the market. With competitive pricing and Bauer dependability, Jordair provides the finest high pressure air compressor available. Breathing Air Systems has trained technicians and a fully stocked parts department to ensure reliability throughout the life of your compressed air system. Filtration Towers BAS has a line of filtration towers which utilize disposable cartridges. BAS also has after-separator columns, back-pressure regulators and various other accessories and parts to support a wide range of compressor systems. Gas Control Valves And Components BAS maintains a complete inventory of components, upgrade parts, replacement parts and filter cartridges to support your compressed air delivery system. Air Samples CSA standards require that your air be certified by an approved laboratory every six months. Our factory trained technicians can ensure that this requirement is maintained. On-Site Start-Up We do not consider a sale final until we have installed our equipment and started it up to make sure everything is as it should be. We pioneered this service and are proud we did. Some of our competitors have attempted to copy this service, and we take that as a compliment to our company. Training When we install and start-up a new compressor, we also provide on-site training for all personnel who will be operating and maintaining the equipment. The training costs are included with the installation of a new compressor system. page 3 Breathing Air Systems 2 Lakeside Park Drive, Unit 11-2 Lakeside, Nova Scotia B3T 1L7 Phone: (902) 876-7078 Fax: (902) 876-7079 Toll Free: 1-877-388-7078 email: info @ breathingairsystems.ca Breathing Air Systems A Division of Connors Diving Services Ltd. The Heart Of Jordair Compressors The heart of Jordair Compressors is the BAUER Compressor blocks and Filtration Systems. BAUER has been manfacturing compressors since 1946 and has developed into an important industrial group known worldwide for it's modern high pressure compressors. Bauer exports to more than 50 countries and are continuously exchanging the latest technology and expertise with their associates and international business partners. BAUER innovations have kept Jordair at the forefront of compressor suppliers. Jordair Compressors is the exclusive agent for BAUER Kompressoren GmbH for Canada. The BAUER compressor stands above the rest of the field in durability and engineering. BAUER units are designed specifically for high pressure breathing air applications. A major distinction between the BAUER compressor and most others is that BAUER units are designed to run at COOLER operating temperatures to improve reliability. - BAUER uses roller or ball bearings at every wear point, instead of sleeve bearings. This provides cooler operation and longer life of the unit. - A greater number of cooling fins and deeper cooling fins on heads, cylinders, and cooling coils provide better air circulation for cooler operating temperatures. This allows for truly CONTINUOUS operation without need for cool down periods. - True HIGH PRESSURE oil lubrication is used in BAUER units instead of the splash system which is a lubrication method used by many other manufacturers. HIGH PRESSURE lubrication contributes greatly to cooler operation and compressor working life. - BAUER units use only SINGLE-ACTING pistons, while many others have one or more stacked cylinders or double-acting pistons. SINGLE-ACTING pistons reduce moving part contact surface area lowering lubrication demands. page 4 COMPRESSOR CONFIGURATIONS The compressors in this catalogue are divided into three general categories: 1 - Vertical Compressors (three configurations) a - "Vertical" where the compressor frame has the compressor block mounted above the motor section. This configuration requires less floor space than horizontal compressors. Vertical compressors have independent rubber anti-vibration mounting of both the compressor and the motor. b - "US" or Ultra Silent where the vertical frame is completely enclosed in a sound suppression cabinet. Motors and compressor blocks have independent rubber anti-vibration mounting. c - "Integrated" where the compressor air storage/cascade cylinders and fill panel are all integrated into a single enclosed sound suppression cabinet. Again, motors and compressor blocks have independent rubber anti-vibration mounting. 2 - "B" series compressors are also available in a vertical configuration where the frame is completely open. "B" series compressors also have independent rubber anti-vibration mounting of both the compressor and the motor. 3 - Horizontal compressors are typically open frame and are ideally suited as shipboard SCUBA compressors with their low center of gravity. Horizontal frame compressors also have independent rubber anti-vibration mounting of the compressor and the motor. In addition to these configurations, Breathing Air Systems can supply two highly portable compressors ideally suited to the SCUBA industry. These two compressors are available in either gas or electric formats. page 5 Breathing Air Systems 2 Lakeside Park Drive, Unit 11-2 Lakeside, Nova Scotia B3T 1L7 Phone: (902) 876-7078 Fax: (902) 876-7079 Toll Free: 1-877-388-7078 email: info @ breathingairsystems.ca Breathing Air Systems A Division of Connors Diving Services Ltd. High Pressure Breathing Air Flow Chart Oil and Water Separator Filtration Towers Size and type required for your specific system depend on many factors including load and volume. Call our service department with any questions. Pressure Maintaining and Non-return Valve High Pressure Cylinders Storage and Cascade System Storage systems are available in several configurations. The capacity of your system will depend on load, available space, capacity of your compressor etc. Compressor Compressors are available in horizontal and vertical designs, open or enclosed (silent) designs, 'super silent', and fully integrated designs. Compressors are available as either electric, gasoline, or diesel motor-driven configurations. page 6 Fill Control Panel B.A.S. has standard control panels and can custom design and assemble to meet your specific requirements. Enclosed filling Station with Fragmentation Protection For safety reasons, enclosed fill stations are recommended. The semi-enclosed design offers excellent protection to the fill station operator. External connections are provided for filling oversized cylinders. COMPRESSORS Standard Configurations Silent Series compressors are available in many formats and are ideally suited for areas that require low noise. Cascade and compressed air storage banks and control panels can be placed in other locations and compressed air piped to air fill facilities. Silent Series Open Series compressors are basically identical in format to the Silent series compressors. Although the compressor compartment is open, this series has the same vibration isolation sub-frame for both the motor assembly and the compressor block that are present in the Silent series. Only the motor compartment is enclosed. Open Series Integrated Series compres- sors expand on the Silent series by integrating air storage/cascade bank and the air fill station and control panel all in a single stationary structure. This format is ideally suited for areas where silence and security are a priority. This series has the same vibration isolation sub-frame for both the motor assembly and the compressor block that are present in the "Silent" series. All compartments are enclosed.

BAS also has after-separator columns, backpressure regulators and other accessories available for many different types of compressor systems. Our standard filter towers are constructed from high tensile 7075 aluminum for 5000 PSIG services. Each has threaded, O-ring sealed end caps. An After-Separator, also called a coalescor, is a 3.75"x11" tower that fits between the compressor and the filtration towers to mechanically dry the air to about 99%. A manual vent on the bottom of the separator column allows the oil/water sludge to be periodically drained off. Without adequate after-separation, the effectiveness of the chemical filters will be impaired and expensive cartridges will be rapidly expended. All units are designed for a 6000 PSIG service and come without a drain valve. Short Filter Towers are typically a 3.75"x 16" tower using a 10" disposable chemical cartridge. The threaded end caps simplify replacing the cartridges. Each tower will process about 12000 cu.ft. of air per cartridge. Tall Filter Towers (33") will treat about 22000 cu.ft. of air per 27" filter cartridge.

Some shops still prefer to use bulk chemicals to repack their own filter towers or to use repackable stainless liners within aluminum housings. Although somewhat time-consuming and inconvenient, repacking can be an economical alternative compared to disposable cartridges for high volume operations. B.A.S. sells high quality bulk filtrants for repacking purposes. cants. The dessicant stage will remove any moisture left in the compressed air. When damp, the effectiveness of charcoal is reduced and may even release previously absorbed contaminants. Also, wet activated carbon, of even high quality, may form small amounts of Sulfuric Acid which in time can do serious damage to the inside of a filter housing. HOPCALITE 300 Is a manganese dioxide based catalyst that oxidizes carbon monoxide in high ACTIVATED CARBON pressure compressed air to the more tolerable carbon dioxide. The latter gas 1 Litre size will then be absorbed and removed by activated carbon. Use Hopcalite whenever: (a) The quality of your air intake is questionable, ie. in metropolitan/ industrial areas etc., or (b) the compressor operating conditions are marginal causing it to run hot or pump for extended periods. NOTE: Hopcalite is inactivated by moisture, so it must always be placed after the dessicant in the filtration train, but before the charcoal. ACTIVATED CARBON DESICCANT BLEND 1 Litre size page 32 A specialized form of charcoal, this is the final filtering agent which removes tastes and odors from compressed air. Activated carbon absorbs oil and water vapor, chlorine, nitrous oxide, and small amounts of carbon monoxide and dioxide. NOTE: Activated carbon should be the final chemical in the filtration train and must always be preceeded by dessi- Breathing Air Systems 2 Lakeside Park Drive, Unit 11-2 Lakeside, Nova Scotia B3T 1L7 Activated Carbon is available in many sizes. MOLECULAR SIEVE 13 X Molecular sieves are a group of space age chemicals known as Zeolites which have outstanding filtration abilities. Their chemical structure is a narrow, rigid, and uniform crystalline lattice which has such a precise pore size that it restricts the movement of substances based upon their molecular size. Even small molecules such as water can enter the filter but are retained by the lattice hence the name "Molecular Sieve". Molecular sieves are highly effective filtrants for moisture, nitrogen oxide, oil vapor, and limited amounts of carbon monoxide and dioxide. Variety 13X is the best formulation for processing compressed air because it is designed to trap water vapor.

Regular automotive oils can not be used in compressors because they may explode under the high temperatures and pressures! the physical properties of synthetic lubricants make them worth the price. Synthetic compressor lubricants have extremely high flash points, very low carbon formation, excellent lubrication, and prolonged stability. Modern compressor lubricants may be either mineral or synthetic based. Although more expensive, BAS stocks both mineral and synthetic compressor oils.

Breathing air is reserved in large storage cylinders while SCBA's extend the fire fighters' capabilities; divers carry life-giving air. Cylinders for those services are well made and can give long service life. However, when damage (in any of several forms) occurs to these vessels, extreme danger may exist. Small 3000 psi aluminum cylinders carried by both fire fighters and divers often contain over one million pounds of explosive energy. Spontaneous rupture of abused cylinders kill and maim people, disintegrate vehicles and blow buildings apart. This has even happened here in Canada.

Kirby Morgan began designing and developing commercial deep sea diving equipment in response to the needs of a growing industry that demanded rugged, easy to maintain equipment that was comfortable while protecting the diver. Throughout our history, diver comfort and safety have been our foremost concern. The current line of Helmets and Full Face Masks continue in our long tradition of providing the highest quality and superior performance professional divers have come to expect from Kirby Morgan. SuperLite 27 Our lowest volume helmet is the Kirby Morgan SuperLite® 27, yet it has all the same top flight features as the Kirby Morgan 37, its larger brother. The SuperLite® 27 also features the SuperFlowTM 350 large tube adjustable demand regulator as well as our Tri-Va1veTM Exhaust System (Patents Pending). Although each of our helmets has characteristics that make them unique, all carry certain common parts, features, and designs that make them distinctively recognizable as manufactured by Kirby Morgan. Kirby Morgan® 47 The fully tested Kirby Morgan® 47 Dive Helmet represents a new working standard to which all commercial helmets will be compared. The REX® regulator is adjustable for a wide range of intermediate pressures between 100 PSI- 230 PSI. It has the best work-ofbreathing of ANY commercial dive helmet. page 40 All of our helmets are divided into two main components; the helmet shell/helmet ring assembly, and the neck dam/neck ring assembly. The helmet neck ring on the base of the helmet houses the sealed pull pins and provides protection for the bottom end of the helmet. The diver is also provided with an internal adjustable chin support. This support, along with the adjustable neck pad on the locking collar, gives the diver a comfortable, secure, custom fit. The neck dam/neck ring provides an outstanding sealing mechanism.

Diveline Diver’s personal umbilicals are the state of the art product designed specifically for surface demand and excursion applications. They feature individual hose and cable components selected from the Aquaflow or Flexflow range, which are then spiralized together to form a consolidated “rope like” construction that offers the following unique benefits over conventional straight laid and strapped umbilicals; • Increased flexibility and kink resistance • Easier handling, both surface and subsea • Unified construction eliminates hose or cable loops • Neutral buoyancy resulting in reduced diver fatigue • Long continuous lengths for penetration dives • Extended operational life UDA0103 • 3/8" NB Aquaflow gas hose • 1/4" NB Aquaflow pneumo hose • COMMS/Lifeline page 42 Breathing Air Systems 2 Lakeside Park Drive, Unit 11-2 Lakeside, Nova Scotia B3T 1L7 Phone: (902) 876-7078 Fax: (902) 876-7079 Toll Free: 1-877-388-7078 email: info @ breathingairsystems.ca HIGH PRESSURE CYLINDERS Breathing Air Systems carries a full range of low and high pressure SCUBA cylinders. Sizes vary from 6 to 100 cubic feet with pressure ratings of between 2400 and 3500 PSIG. Cylinders are available in both aluminum alloy and steel depending upon the size and pressure rating. page 43 GLOSSARY AMBIENT - The surrounding environment. Compressor placement and air intake should consider ambient qualities such as temperature, moisture and air quality. Health and Safety" Standard. Covers air purity, air rotation, compressor maintenance including filters, and cylinder inspection frequency. ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) - An independent organization that rates and tests high pressure gas containers and fittings. DISCHARGE PRESSURE - The absolute total pressure at the discharge outlet of a compressor. Compressors should not be operated at pressures greater than their rated maximum discharge pressure, even if they are mechanically capable of generating higher pressures. AUTOMATIC CONDENSATE DRAIN An electropneumatic device that drains the moisture collected by the separator in a compressor system at fixed intervals automatically without system decompression. BLEEDING - The manual or automatic draining of condensed oil/water mixture from the compressor. CASCADE SYSTEM - A group (or series of groups) of air storage cylinders connected together each with a separate valve. C.F.M. (Cubic Feet per Minute) - The volume of air that a compressor pumps. Compressor ratings are expressed for 'standard' conditions which are 20°C and 1 atmosphere pressure. C.G.A. (Compressed Gas Association) - An independent organization that sets standards for compressed air purity and compressed gas fittings. CO (Carbon Monoxide) - An odourless, tasteless and invisible gas that is produced when oxygen is unavailable during combustion. When inhaled, it blocks blood's normal capacity to carry oxygen and can be lethal even in low concentrations. High concentrations in compressed air usually results from high operating temperature of a compressor. CO 2 (Carbon Dioxide) - An odourless, tasteless, invisible gas that is a normal by-product of combustion. It's concentration in the human body serves as a stimulus to breath. CO Monitor - An electronic monitor that samples the airstream to determine the CO content. CSA - Canadian Standards Association CSA Z180.1 - "Compressed Breathing Air - Occupational page 44 D.O.T. (United States Department of Transportation) - A federal agency that regulates interstate commerce and has jurisdiction over transporting, rating and testing high pressure gas containers in the U.S.A. In Canada the regulating body is Transport Canada or T.C. FILL RATE - Refers to refilling of high pressure cylinders and can be expressed in two ways. Fill rate can be the rate at which compressed air is delivered to a cylinder sometimes expressed as CFM (cubic feet per minute). Fill rate can also refer to the total time required to fill a compressed air cylinder as measured in minutes. For standardized cylinders, fill rate usually refers to the later measurement, minutes required to fill a cylinder of that size. FILL STATION - Technically, the fill station is the protective device into which small cylinders are placed for the refilling process. However, the entire breathing air production system is also still sometimes referred to as a “fill station”. FILTERS - Today, this usually refers to the pre-inlet devices that separate and remove dust and dirt before it enters the first stage of the compressor. In the past, the media through which the compressed air flowed after compression was also known as a filter system, however, modern systems usually refer to post compression stage filtration devices as the purification system. FLOW RESTRICTOR - A device that controls or limits the flow of compressed gas. Typically, a flow restrictor fits is the path of compressed gas and has an orifice with an opening diameter smaller than the diameter of the gascarrying vessel. Flow restrictors reduce the volume and pressure of compressed gas delivered and are often used to control the fill rate of compressed gas cylinders. GAUGE - The device by which a pressure measurement is indicated. In general, pressure gauges should not be used for pressures greater than approximately 75% of their maximum face pressure. It is generally recommended that one should face the gauge away from himself when it is pressurized. HIGH PRESSURE - Transport Canada defines high pressure as pressures exceeding 900 psi. In short all SCBA and SCUBA cylinders are considered high pressure. HOUR METER - As used in breathing air compressor applications, is usually of the “accumulative, non-resettable” type. That is, like an automobile odometer, the hour meter will always show the total number of operating hours on the compressor. HYDROSTATIC TEST - The measurement of the elasticity of a high pressure cylinder. This is done by pressurizing the cylinder to a prescribed pressure higher than its working pressure, and measuring the temporary expansion of its dimensions, and the permanent expansion, if any, that remains when it is de-pressurized. MOISTURE MONITORS - Electronic devices which, by means of an electronic sensor, or humidistat, are capable of alarming the operator when a pre-set moisture level is exceeded. Those which function with a sensing of the relative humidity are considered somewhat inaccurate, but can usually sense a gross moisture condition. OXYGEN CLEAN - Applies to fittings, hoses, regulators, etc. that are intended for use with pure Oxygen. For this application, all equipment must be chemically cleaned to remove all traces of any type of oil or oil residue. Such equipment, when new, is usually individually packaged, and then labelled "OXYGEN CLEAN". P.P.M. - Parts Per Million. PRESSURE LUBRICATION - A feature in which pressurized oil from an oil pump is directed to internal points of a compressor which require absolute lubrication. Typically, in a high pressure compressor, the working oil pressure may be 80-1200 PSI. Pressure lubrication is often combined with “splash” and “mist” lubrication for various other points within the crankcase. Without pressure lubrication, it is difficult for lubricant to travel into the upper cylinder wall area of the high pressure stages. REGULATOR - A specialized, adjustable valve, the regulator reduces higher pressure gas to a lower pressure. Breathing Air Systems 2 Lakeside Park Drive, Unit 11-2 Lakeside, Nova Scotia B3T 1L7 Most regulators incorporate an IN pressure gauge (indicating the supply pressure), and an OUT pressure gauge (indicating the adjusted/regulated pressure). All regulators are designed for a fixed MAXIMUM inlet pressure, and a range of adjustable outlet pressures. FIXED RATIO non-adjustable regulators are also available, for certain applications. These reduce the supply pressure a preset percentage. Therefore, regulated pressure varies with the supply pressure. REMOTE INTAKE - This refers to the extension of the compressor’s intake port to another area. This is usually done when the ambient air available to the compressor is of unacceptable quality or if air of higher initial quality is available a short distance from the compressor. An extension of inappropriate design or dimensions can “throttle” the intake air, and cause reduced output and high operating temperatures. SAFETY RELIEF VALVE - This describes a spring-loaded valve which is normally in the CLOSED position, and which releases air when the upstream pressure is greater than the pre-selected relief pressure. Most such valves will re-close, when the upstream pressure is reduced. SEPARATOR - Also known as a condensate trap. A chamber in which moisture is removed from the air, by impingement, coalescence, expansion, temperature change, or any of a number of other mechanical means. In the typical high pressure compressor used for breathing air applications, separator chambers are usually used between each of the stages of compression, and another final separator is used just prior to the air’s entry into the purification system. WORKING PRESSURE - According to the accepted SAFETY margin for compressed air cylinders, a product’s designed working pressure will be a fraction of the product’s designed burst pressure. Some products are marked with their working pressure, while others are not. Never fill any compressed air storage system or any of its components to a pressure higher than its rated working pressure. page 45 Phone: (902) 876-7078 Fax: (902) 876-7079 Toll Free: 1-877-388-7078 email: info @ breathingairsystems.ca HIGH PRESSURE FITTINGS Commonly Used Tube Fittings page 46 NOTES page 47 Breathing Air Systems 2 Lakeside Park Drive, Unit 11-2 Lakeside, Nova Scotia B3T 1L7 Phone: (902) 876-7078 Fax: (902) 876-7079 Toll Free: 1-877-388-7078 email: info @ breathingairsystems.ca Breathing Air Systems A Division of Connors Diving Services Ltd.
