Tempest Blowers
FIREFIGHTING BLOWERS PPV/PPA
Each fire blower/fan manufactured by TEMPEST has been carefully inspected and tested to ensure very rapid room pressurization using Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV).
The perfectly balanced power of TEMPEST firefighting fans unquestionably provides an operational advantage to firefighters. Firefighting Ventilation Blowers are split into five categories:
- Battery Blowers/fans
- Electric Power Blowers/fans
- Gas Powered Power Blowers/fans
- Hydraulic Mobile Ventilation Units (MVU)
- Smoke Ejectors
- Water Power Blowers
The blowers range from air-flows of 3,200 to over 150,000 cfm, guaranteeing real efficiency during each rescue, attack, protection, or smoke removal operation, with easy setup.
To best adapt to different specific operational situations, like booster ventilation, TEMPEST also offers a range of battery-powered blower/fans which can be easily carried by a single firefighter. This battery-powered range of blowers is also perfect for PPV/PPA due to the high cfm output and battery life. Compact and self-contained they can work closely to the fire, providing a flow of around 11,000 cfm for 70 minutes.
The range is completed with the MVU (Mobile Ventilation Unit) with a flow of 150,000 cfm. For explosive atmospheres, TEMPEST offers a sucking and blowing confined Space fans to remove dangerous gases securely and quickly, thanks to its 3200 cfm or the 11,804 cfm airflow from the High-Performance model. Each blower/fan is designed so a single adult can easily carry it. The ergonomic design makes it easy to store in response vehicles.
