#15 - Firehouse Exhaust & Filtration


When diesel engines are started inside a building, these toxic air contaminants are emitted into the breathing area. It is well known that continued exposure to these contaminants have been linked to cancer and other serious health disorders.

Fire and EMS facilities, garages, maintenance shops, or anywhere that trucks, buses, heavy equipment, or fleets of vehicles are operated are especially vulnerable to these toxic pollutants.

The only proven method requires a "source capture" system that pulls 100 percent of the exhaust emissions outside the building, through sealed ductwork.

MagneGrip's patented exhaust extraction system provides fully automatic operation, featuring a friction-release, universal nozzle that is easy to use. With the nozzle attached, each time the vehicle's engine is started, an exhaust fan starts automatically and vents the exhaust emissions outdoors. As the vehicle leaves, the nozzle remains connected, traveling to the doorway and then releases automatically as the vehicle exits.


Here are some general design velocities when using "RECEIVING" Hoods:

Vehicle Exhaust:
  • Face Velocity 3000 FPM
  • Transport Velocity 3000 FPM



  • (15-01) Vehicle Exhaust Emergency Services - Simple Hose Drop - Ambulance & Maintenance (700 CFM)
    The Simple Hose Drop (SHD) System has the same components as the Sliding Balancer Track (SBT) System, without the track. If the vehicle leaves the fire house on an emergency run, the MagneGrip nozzle remains connected until the hose and cable are fully extended and then it automatically releases.

    Because the system captures and removes exhaust emissions at start-up and until the nozzle disconnects, it eliminates the heaviest concentration of exhaust gases and particulates.

    For tight budgets, installing a Simple Hose Drop System is less expensive than a track system. It is a good option for vehicles that may be started every day, but are not used regularly for emergency runs. Later, if needs change, a track can be installed and the system converted to provide door-to-door coverage.

    (15-02) Vehicle Exhaust Emergency Services - Sliding Balancer Track - “Back-in” vehicles w/ Undercarriage exhaust (700 CFM)
    This is a popular and versatile sliding balancer track for vehicle exhaust. It can be installed for one apparatus or for two parked in tandem. Travel from door to door can range up to 85'. The universal MagneGrip nozzle is easy to connect. It provides an airtight seal around the tailpipe and captures 100% of the toxic exhaust gases at their source. Best of all, the MagneGrip SBT system requires less maintenance than other systems on the market.


      

    (15-03) Emergency Services - Straight Suction Rail - “Drive Thru” vehicles w/ Undercarriage exhaust (700 CFM)
    The Magnegrip Straight Suction Rail systems are designed to fit into firehouses with little space to spare.
    This system accomodates up to 4 vehicles parked in tandem.
    The SSR system works well when there is little space to spare, because it uses minimum hose lengths. Travel from door to door is unlimited.
    MagneGrip's dependable, friction-release nozzle ensures simplicity of operation. The MagneGrip SSR system is built for durability - it's design makes it one of the most problem-free systems available.


      

    (15-04) Emergency Services - Vertical Stack Rail - ALL vehicles w/ Overhead exhaust (1,400 CFM)
    This system is designed for vehicles with vertical stacks. No manual connection is required. As the apparatus pulls into the bay, a flexible "stack catcher" adjusts vertically and horizontally to align with the vertical stack exhaust. The exhaust emissions are drawn into a suction rail that vents them outside. Like all of our Exhaust Venting Systems, this one is highly efficient and less costly that comparable systems.

    (15-045) Vehicle Exhaust - Sliding Hose Reel System
    The Sliding Hose Reel System is a versitile system that can be used on different vehicle applications. The ablitiy to move the hose reel the length of the track provides great mobility of where the capture of source is needed.
      

    (15-05) Hazvent Extraction systems
    If your firehouse requires a pneumatic system to extract diesel exhaust fumes, the HazVent system can meet your needs. This exhaust removal system has the same basic components as other pneumatic systems, but, it also has two very distinct features that other systems do not:

    Ambient Air Intake

    Unlike older designs of pneumatic systems, HazVent offers an optional patented feature to allow ambient air intake. Without this feature, an airtight pneumatic nozzle can create backpressure on the vehicle's engine. This could cause spinning of a non-lubricated turbocharger and produce bearing damage

    Two Air Release Valves

    HazVent is the only pneumatic system that has two air valve release locations. With most pneumatic systems, when the air pressure is released, it escapes through the MFD valve located mid-point on the hose. The HazVent system enables air to escape from both the nozzle and the MFD valve, allowing the nozzle disconnect to be faster and more reliable.

    (15-06) Emergency Services - ACH - Ambient Air Cleaning (3,000 CFM)
    The ACH System is the most advanced free hung air cleaning system on the market today. It was specifically configured for the fire rescue market, to attack the un-healthy environment created by diesel exhaust fumes. The ACH System combines a MERV 8 Pre-filter, MERV 16 Main filter and the latest in blended charcoal (Activated charcoal and potassium permagante).

    (15-07) AirHawk 265 Portable Air Purificator (Max 265 CFM)
    The free-standing AirHAWK 265 uses a multistage filtration process to remove the contaminants and return clean, purified air back into those spaces. It provides high-level particulate removal and germicidal protection. Even carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide are converted to benign constituents through photo-catalytic oxidation.
