The VA 40 ventilation system is designed for continuous operation in shelters and ensures a constant supply of breathable air for occupants. At the same time, the system reliably removes used air and continuously reduces CO\u2082 levels within the space. <\/p>\n
Under normal conditions, the system operates with fresh air intake. In emergency situations, it can be quickly and easily switched to gas filter mode<\/strong>. This is achieved by disconnecting the flexible hoses, enabling filtered air supply in the event of chemical, biological, or other hazardous contamination. <\/p>\n All VA-40 ventilation systems supplied by BSSD are manufactured in accordance with the regulations of the Federal Office for Civil Protection (BABS) <\/strong>and are type-tested by the Spiez Laboratory of the Swiss Federal Department of Defence (VBS).<\/strong><\/p>\n Approvals<\/strong> (depending on manufacturer): BZS T 87-003, BZS TE 98-005<\/p>\n Approval depends on the specific configuration and manufacturer. BSSD ensures that only tested and approved systems are used. <\/p>\n The VA-40 ventilation system is designed as a compact standalone unit and can be flexibly mounted on the shelter wall or integrated into a technical room. Multiple units can be grouped if required. <\/p>\n The system connects to a shared air intake equipped with blast protection valves<\/strong> and an integrated air filter. Installation dimensions are standardized across the VA series, significantly simplifying planning, replacement, and retrofitting. <\/p>\n Differences between configurations\u2014depending on the manufacturer\u2014primarily relate to:<\/p>\n Pre-filters<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Airflow measuring tube<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Gas filter configuration<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Each VA-40 ventilation unit is designed for both electric operation and full manual emergency use<\/strong> and includes the following components:<\/p>\n Ventilation unit with electric motor<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Reduction gearbox<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Dynamo with sealed 5-watt emergency lamp<\/p>\n<\/li>\n On\/off switch<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Attachable hand crank for manual operation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Airflow measuring tube with throttle valve<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Hose pair with coupling and four clamps<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Operating manual with protective cover<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n In the event of a power failure, the system can be operated manually.
