Short Term Breathing Apparatus Cylinder & Valve - 5-Min, ALE LITE | Draeger

Description

5-minute aluminum cylinder with valve for emergency escape breathing devices or SCBA. Lightweight design supports rapid deployment and safe egress in hazardous environments.

The Dräger 5‑Minute ALE Lite Cylinder & Valve (e.g. part number 4054744) is the dedicated short-term escape module designed to integrate with the ALE Lite supplied-air / escape hybrid respirator system. It is configured to provide a 5-minute supply of compressed breathing air in emergency conditions when the primary airline supply fails or becomes compromised.

In normal operation, the ALE Lite system functions as a supplied-air respirator, allowing users to work with a continuous external air supply. In the event of a failure or hazardous atmosphere (e.g. IDLH conditions), the system switches (or allows switching) to this escape cylinder module. The low-profile design ensures that the escape cylinder does not obstruct movement, particularly when entering or exiting confined spaces. The system is modular and is designed for easy cleaning and decontamination after use.

The escape cylinder is paired with a matching valve (ALE valve) that seamlessly integrates into the ALE Lite breathing circuit. Together, they offer a compact, reliable, and maintainable life‑safety module for emergency egress.

Key Features (from referenced sources)

• Provides about 5 minutes of emergency breathing air.

• Includes a standard ALE valve in its configuration for compatibility with ALE Lite respiratory systems.

• Constructed with a low-profile design to avoid interference during entry, exit, and movement in confined spaces.

• The ALE Lite system (including this module) is modular, and components such as the escape cylinder + valve can be replaced, cleaned, or decontaminated independently.
