A nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) safeoom or bomb shelter protects its occupants fromnhaling harmful or deadly airborne toxins suchs very fine particles of radioactive fallout,

biological toxins, and chemical agents. In the

past, the United States Government has pouredextensive resources into providing the bestnformation (at theime) for the protection

of its citizens from NBCwarfare agents. This isnot the case today.

For protection of theU.S. population we havehe government

website:www.ready.gov. Ituggests duct tape and

plastic, then wait forurther officialnstruction. Although theape and plastic method

would offer somemmediate short termprotection from low leveloxins at lowoncentrations, it would

be, at best, a short termolution. Most

overnments tend toonly recommendemergency procedureshat can be afforded byll their citizens.

As a contrast to mostovernments, both

Switzerland and Israelequire, and subsidizehe cost of, NBC safeooms in apartment

buildings. They have

trict standards in place governing both theonstruction of the room and the ventilation

equipment protecting the room.

For protection of some of our military personaland government officials, the U.S. Department ofthe Army - Corps of Engineers has standards bywhich NBC airborne toxic free areas must comply.These standards dictate the differential pressure

in the safe room (protected space) as well as thedesign of the NBC filter/ventilation system.

The main reasons whyan un-pressurized roomwill not protect theoccupants for very longis that the room"breaths" - in otherwords, it leaks air bothin and out through thecracks as the externalatmospheric pressurefluctuates - due wind orother atmosphericvariables liketemperature, andbarometric pressureswings due toapproaching weatherfronts. Air constantlytries to normalize itspressure andtemperature betweendifferent variants - as it

does this, it brings withit whatever that aircontains. Also, in asealed room, there is noaccommodation toreplenish oxygen andexpel the exhaledcarbon dioxide of theoccupants.

In order to create andmaintain overpressureas well as give the

required air exchanges to support the air supplyneeds of the sheltered occupants, a safe roommust be equipped with true positive pressureNBC filter/ventilation unit and a means of ametering the exhaust air out of the protectedspace.

American Safe Room filter/ventilation equipmentand related components are designed andmanufactured specifically for this purpose.

Safe Cell System Components

The American Safe Room Safe Cell NBC airfiltration systems are positive pressure NBCfilters designed to meet the critical requirementsof the US Army Corp of Engineers documentnumber ETL 1110-3-498 - Design of CollectiveProtection Shelter to Resist Chemical, Biological,and Radiological (CBR) Agents. This provendesign has been deployed worldwide togovernments, militaries, and civilians in blast andfallout shelters, command bunkers, and militaryvehicles. It has been submitted to the US StateDepartment who issued a Commodity Jurisdictionruling it to be a Class XIV munition by the

because of its effectiveness in filtering warfaregases and particulates.

This series of filters all have a system airflowrating of 100 cubic meters per hour of filtered air.You can get them a variety of voltages fordifferent applications. See pages 7 and 8 formore information.

The Safe Cell and its related components havbeen especially designed with the end user aninstaller in mind. All components are turn keysystems - including all components, hardwareand step by step technical documentation foreasy installation.

Also available are the Iso-Shield 120 and theIso-Shield 800 particulate air filtration system

The Iso-Shield 120 is designed to creathospital grade isolation room in anysuitably sized and sealed room.

The Iso-Shield 800 is designed to creatCDC grade isolation room in any hospitroom.

Differential Pressure Gauge

DescriptionThe American Safe Room Differential PressureGauge displays the difference in air pressurebetween the inside and outside of a shelter. Ithas a sampling tube that goes through the wallor ceiling in order to read the outside air

pressure. Another sampling tube is on the back ofthe gauge inside the housing and the differencein air pressure is displayed by a needle on a dialgauge.

When you do not have the Safe Cell NBCoverpressure air filter on, a properly installeddifferential pressure gauge will read zero becausethere is no difference in the air pressure inside,and outside of the shelter. When you start theSafe Cell, the gauge will read a higher pressure.

There are three ranges of gauges available thatdisplays positive overpressures:

1. zero to 0.5-inches of water columnpart number ASR-05-DPG

2. zero to 1-inch of water columnpart number ASR-10-DPG(special order item)

DescriptionThe automatic double acting Blast Valves are

used to protect the Safe Cell and the occupantsfrom the high pressure wave caused by a nearbydetonation.

These valves are designed to mount onto aconcrete wall or ceiling over the air intake andoutflow pipes with the included wedge anchors.

The internal valves are normally in the centralneutral position and then automatically slam shutwhen the initial blast wave from an nearbyexplosion hits and then automatically closes asecond time when the vacuum that follows thepressure wave hits.

The Blast Valves need to be used on every portalin your shelter. The air intake pipe and the otheron the air outflow pipe need blast protection andany other portal - such as septic vents.
