In the relentless pursuit of safety and efficiency, firefighters, first responders, and military personnel are increasingly relying on breathing air during operations. With a deeper understanding of the health hazards posed by contaminants at fire scenes, the importance of safe, clean, readily available breathing air cannot be overstated. Recognizing this critical need, Arctic Compressor has partnered with Fathom® e-power systems to introduce the Arctic ALL POWER Mobile Air Trailer, a groundbreaking solution poised to revolutionize breathing air supply logistics for firefighting operations.
The shift towards on-site breathing air supply is becoming imperative, especially when conventional air sources are impractical or unavailable for mobile applications. This includes the rising prevalence of Firefighter Air Replenishment Systems (FARS) in large structures with limited accessibility. Addressing this demand for portable, efficient breathing air supply solutions, Arctic Compressor embarked on a mission to develop a versatile, eco-friendly, low-maintenance alternative to existing options while remaining true to its roots of being “The Simple Choice.”
Designed with mobility and functionality in mind, the Arctic ALL POWER Mobile Air Trailer boasts impressive capabilities tailored specifically for field response scenarios. With a single axle configuration, it can be effortlessly towed by most half-ton vehicles, ensuring rapid deployment to any fire or rescue scene.
One of the trailer’s standout features is its ability to operate autonomously without external power sources or generators. Equipped with a standard onboard battery capacity of 24 kWh, with the option to expand to 48 kWh, it can seamlessly fulfill the breathing air supply requirements of personnel on the scene, enhancing operational efficiency and flexibility.
The contributions of Fathom e-power systems are integral to the functionality of the Arctic All Power Mobile Air Trailer. Their expertise and reputation in power and drive systems ensure optimal performance and reliability in the field.
The system’s versatility is further underscored by its ability to accommodate various power inputs simultaneously, including 240/208V and 120V in varying amperages. This flexibility ensures compatibility with diverse power sources, facilitating easy recharging and deployment in any environment.
In terms of performance, the Arctic ALL POWER Mobile Air Trailer delivers impressive results, with breathing air supply capabilities ranging from 15 CFM to 28.8 CFM, depending on the operational mode. The inclusion of four 6000 PSI, UN/ISO 510 cubic foot air storage cylinders, coupled with a four-bank cascade panel, ensures ample breathing air supply for extended operations.
Moreover, the trailer’s compact design, measuring just 15 feet long and 7.5 feet wide, maximizes efficiency without compromising functionality. Features such as SCBA storage for up to 11 cylinders, dual rear stabilizers, electric brakes, and LED lighting further enhance its usability and safety.
With its cutting-edge design, contributions from Fathom e-power systems, and unparalleled performance, the Arctic ALL POWER Mobile Air Trailer sets a new standard for portable breathing air supply solutions. As firefighters and first responders continue to confront evolving challenges in their line of duty, this innovative apparatus stands ready to provide reliable support, ensuring the safety and effectiveness of firefighting and rescue operations across the globe.
