Compressed gas cylinder for self-contained breathing apparatus
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11896856B2) discloses a compressed gas cylinder designed for a self-contained breathing apparatus. The cylinder is capable of containing gas pressurized between 5,000 psig and 6,000 psig, with specific operational parameters defining the relationship between free air capacity and rated service time. The design of the cylinder includes dimensions that result in a weight reduction of 5% to 12% compared to cylinders with a service pressure of about 4500 psig. Additionally, the cylinder's radius is limited to 3.27 inches or less to minimize rotational inertia on the user, providing a more ergonomic and user-friendly experience.
Furthermore, the patent details variations in the cylinder's dimensions and weight based on different operational parameters, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency. The cylinder's construction materials include aluminum, steel, carbon fiber, and fiberglass wrapped aluminum or steel, providing durability and reliability. The design considerations aim to enhance user experience by reducing rotational inertia effects and overall weight, making the compressed gas cylinder suitable for a self-contained breathing apparatus. The patent also specifies the wall thickness of the pressure volume portion, ranging from 0.322 inches to 0.398 inches based on the desired free gas capacity and rated service time, further highlighting the precision and customization offered by this innovative compressed gas cylinder design.
