Product Overview

The Airturbo, originally used to meet the rigorous requirements of underground explosion-proof lighting

for coal mines, is BASEEFA certified for use in Zones 1 and 2 industrial hazardous areas, typically in oil and

petrochemicals industries for tank cleaning and pipeline inspections. Once connected to a suitable air supply,

continuous output of high-quality general illumination is produced, even under water. The A-0444 is fitted

with a bay light type head providing all-round illumination when suspended in the work area and a protective

polycarbonate dome surrounds the molded ball glass containing the bulb. Housings are spark-free cast brass

with a forged brass safety hook, all nickel-plated. The generator is a compressed air-driven turbo-alternator

of simple design and robust construction and a gunmetal impulse turbine wheel produces the energy to

power the 12v 55w Tungsten Halogen bulb. A clean dry air supply is a condition of certification and

essential for the efficient running of these lamps. Deposits of dirt on the inside of the lens will adversely

affect the level of illumination and if needed, air-line filters can be supplied. Another mandatory requirement

of safe use is an anti-static hose, designed to avoid a dangerous build-up of static electricity. The Air turbo

has many inherent safety features, recognized by BASEEFA; effectively pressurized and purged system,

protective curtain of air from the exhaust ports, instant cut-off of the lamp if the lens is broken, and cooling

of heat generating components. Lamps are routinely run in, tested, and set to the necessary output prior to dispatch.
