41、s over to the self contained air supply, without interruption of supplied air to the wearer3.2 DescriptionThis RPD supplies the wearer with breathable air in accordance with EN 12021, which on inhalation, flows through a lung governed demand valve. The latter can operate at negative pressure or at p
42、ositive pressure and is connected to a suitable full face mask, possibly via a breathing hose. A compressed air supply tube connects the wearer to a supply of compressed air. Exhaled air flows into the ambient atmosphere via an exhalation valve.NOTE Conformance to EN 12021 can be ensured by a breath
