Filter Set CO-P2: PARAT 5520/30 | Draeger

The Filter Set CO-P2: PARAT 5520/30 by Dräger is a high-quality respiratory protection filter designed to provide protection against harmful gases and particles. It is typically used with Dräger's full-face masks or half-face masks for industrial, chemical, or emergency response applications. Below is a detailed breakdown of its features and uses:

Product Overview:

• Filter Type: The CO-P2 filter is a combined filter that provides protection against carbon monoxide (CO) and other toxic gases. It is classified under the P2 grade, which indicates a medium level of protection against particulates.

• Application: The PARAT 5520/30 filter set is mainly used for environments where exposure to harmful gases like carbon monoxide (CO) and solid particulates is a risk. It can be used in:

  • Industrial environments: Particularly in areas dealing with combustion processes, oil and gas extraction, and confined spaces.

  • Emergency response scenarios: Such as during fire-fighting operations or chemical spill responses.

  • Chemical and hazardous material handling: Including laboratories and areas where fumes or vapors from chemicals are present.

Key Features:

1. Carbon Monoxide (CO) Protection:

   • The CO-P2 filter provides effective protection against carbon monoxide (CO), which is a colorless, odorless, and highly toxic gas often produced during combustion processes.

2. Particle Filtration (P2):

   • The filter provides protection against airborne particles, including dust, mists, and fumes, which are classified as P2 (medium efficiency). This makes it suitable for environments where dust, fumes, and other particulates are present.

3. Easy-to-Use Design:

   • The PARAT 5520/30 filter is designed to be easily attached and replaced on compatible Dräger respirators. It is lightweight, which adds comfort during long-term wear.

4. Robust Construction:

   • It is designed to be durable and reliable, offering high filtration performance even in challenging conditions.

5. Wide Compatibility:

   • The filter is compatible with Dräger’s full-face and half-face respiratory masks, including models used in industrial and emergency settings.

6. Multiple Layered Filtration:

   • The filter combines multiple layers of different materials, including activated carbon and particulate media, which helps to filter out both gases and particulates effectively.

Specifications:

• Protection Class: P2 (for particulate matter)

• Gas Protection: Designed specifically for carbon monoxide and other gases typically encountered in industrial and emergency environments.

• Color Code: Typically, the filters are marked with a color (such as white or gray) indicating their specific protection class and suitability.

• Filter Type: Combination gas and particulate filter.

• Connection Type: Bayonet fitting for secure attachment to Dräger masks.

Advantages of Using PARAT 5520/30 Filter Set:

• Broad Protection: Effective for protection against both gases and particulates, making it versatile for a wide range of hazardous environments.

• Comfort: Lightweight design allows for extended use without causing discomfort to the wearer.

• Reliability: Dräger is a trusted name in the field of industrial and emergency respiratory protection, known for the quality and dependability of their products.

Applications:

• Firefighting: During firefighting operations, firefighters may encounter a mix of toxic gases like CO and smoke particulates. The filter protects against these harmful substances.

• Chemical Spills and Cleanup: In chemical spill scenarios, workers may be exposed to toxic vapors or dust; the CO-P2 filter provides adequate protection.

• Mining and Confined Space Entry: In confined spaces where gases like carbon monoxide may accumulate, this filter helps provide breathable air.
