1、Designation: E2543 08 (Reapproved 2014)Standard Specification forPortable Air Heaters Used at Personnel DecontaminationStations and Shelters1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E2543; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the c

2、ase of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification is used to standardize the portable airheaters used on personnel decon

3、tamination lines to insure theheaters provide sufficient heated air for personnel comfortbefore, during, and after the decontamination for as long asthey are needed during the emergency.NOTE 1These heaters are not intended to be used for the decontami-nation for any other surface or material. Also,

4、these heaters are intendedto be portable and easy to use by first responders during a chemical,biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) event.1.2 This specification contains a specification section and atest methods section so users need to refer to the sectionapplicable to their nee

5、ds when using this standard specifica-tion.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.NOTE 2The U.S. first responder personnel using the equipmentmanufactured under this standard are not likely to be familiar with SI units

6、so English units need to be included as part of the system documentationand shown on control panels for any equipment sold to U.S. organizations.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this stand

7、ard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

9、ion.3.1.1.1 DiscussionThe means of decontaminatingpersonnel, equipment, or areas include absorption,neutralization, weathering, and physical removal of the con-taminant and hazards associated with nuclear, biological, orchemical (NBC) agents.4. Classification4.1 There will be no attempt to classify

10、into categories thedifferent types of portable air heaters that can fall under thisspecification since this specification will only address theminimum requirements these heaters shall satisfy.5. Ordering Information5.1 Personnel ordering portable air heaters using this speci-fication as a basis for

11、their order should be aware that thisspecification is the minimum requirement for these types ofdevices and any needs beyond these minimum requirementsshall be stated in the request for quote.6. Mechanical Properties6.1 The heater materials of construction shall be easilycleaned of surface mud and g

12、rime with no degradation of theunits ability to perform its function.6.2 The preferred fuels for the heater section of the portableair heater are diesel fuel, gasoline, or bottled propane gas.

United States1electricity is used, the circuit shall be no

16、more than 120 V, 30A, single phase, and shall conform to NFPA 70 for outdoorusage.7. Performance Requirements7.1 Be able to provide a continuous flow of warm airbetween 27 and 35C (80 and 95F) at a flow rate of not lessthan 0.24 m3/s (500 ft3/min).7.2 The input line shall be filtered using an ASTM N

17、umber7 filter (manufactured according to Specification E11)toremove solid contaminants that might damage the equipmentor injure the personnel in the shelter.NOTE 3The air inlet will provide suction to the area around the inlet.The user may wish to provide a design to prevent covering or clogging the

18、inlet with debris and suitable marking devices to warn users of the inletssuction.Additionally, as specified, the inlet filter is not intended to protectagainst chemical and biological warfare agents. The sole intended purposeof the inlet filter is to protect the air heater device from debris that m

19、ay beattracted to it as a result of the suction of the inlet.7.3 Be capable of providing warm air flow within thetemperature range specified in 7.1 within 2 min of beingsupplied 20 to +35C (4 to +95F) feed air.8. Other Requirements8.1 Contain sufficient hoses as part of the unit packaging toallow fo

20、r an air intake up to 15.24 m (50 ft) distant and providewarm air to a shelter up to 7.62 m (25 ft) from the unit. Thewarm air outlet duct from the unit shall be able to connect toa 15-cm (6-in.) duct.9. Dimensions, Mass, and Permissible Variations9.1 The unit shall be man-transportable by not more

21、thanfour first responders carrying the assembled unit and not weighmore than 91 kg (200 lb) not including the fuel and hoses.TEST METHODS10.
