1. Emergency Backup During Airline System Failure
- Scenario: If the primary airline supply (from the trolley) fails due to hose damage, or contamination, the EEBD provides immediate backup oxygen (5–15 minutes).
- Purpose: Allows safe escape from hazardous atmospheres (e.g., smoke, toxic gases).
2. Compliance with Safety Regulations
- OSHA/NFPA Standards: Requires secondary respiratory protection for airline systems in IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health) environments.
- Maritime Law (SOLAS): Mandates EEBDs on ships for crew escape during fires or gas leaks.
3. Key Advantages in Airline Trolley Systems
- Compact Integration: EEBDs can be mounted on the trolley or user’s belt for quick access.
- No Dependency on Hoses: Unlike the airline system, EEBDs are self-contained, eliminating entanglement risks.
- Rapid Activation: Deploys in seconds (e.g., pull-tab activation) during emergencies.
4. Use Cases
- Industrial Confined Spaces: If the airline hose is severed during work, the EEBD ensures escape time.
- Chemical Plants: Protects against sudden gas leaks that may compromise the primary air supply.
- Shipboard Operations: Complies with SOLAS for enclosed spaces like engine rooms.
5. How It Works with Airline Trolley Systems
- Primary Supply: Users breathe from the airline via the trolley’s compressed air.
- Emergency Switch: If air supply fails, don the EEBD (hood or mask) to access its air cylinder.
- Escape: Provides 5–15 minutes of breathable air to exit the hazard zone.
