PERSONAL BREATHING APPARATUS TEST SYSTEMS
FOR SYSTEMATIC PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF LIFE SUPPORT
Personal Breathing Apparatus Test Systems, or PBATS, are designed to accurately test and document performance of a wide variety of breathing apparatuses used for life support in applications such as diving, firefighting, mine rescue, aerospace, aviation, and others.
​
PCCI Hyperbaric Systems and its predecessor Reimers has been a producer of quality breathing apparatus test systems and life support equipment for over 30 years. The PCCI PBATS represent a masterful integration of tenured experience with easy-to-use, state-of-the-art technology.

Computer Controlled: Sinusoidal waveforms are easily configured on the computer with any desired breathing rate or tidal volume that is within the specifications. Non-sinusoidal waveforms can be set up using
an Excel spreadsheet and downloaded to the breathing machine.
​
Versatile: Can produce any physiologically reasonable waveform. Can be placed within a pressure vessel
while the control module remains outside (optional wire feed-thru kit is available).
Smooth waveform generation, even at low RMV’s, by use of a ball screw and servo motor drive.
Easy to Use & Maintain: Design is elegantly simple and thus reduces potential testing anomalies.
Overload protection in the event of gas port blockage.
Dual Test Ports: Both sides of the piston can be used simultaneously to test two breathing apparati at the same time.
Control Module:  110 or 220 VAC power: User specified.
Servo control system: Digital motion controller and power supplies. Standard USB or serial interface to computer.
Computer requires no special boards.
Software:  A familiar Windows Graphics User Interface(GUI) is provided for
controlling the breathing machine from the computer.
Motion control is provided by a versatile and general servo control program that provides a broad range
of control options or can be modified as necessary using a simple control language.
An Excel spreadsheet template is provided to assist in deriving non-sinusoidal waveforms.
Options:  Wire feed thru kit (for using the Lung Module within a Pressure or Altitude Chamber)
Computer Data Acquisition Systems
 Temperature and Humidity Control
