TPU stands for "thermoplastic polyurethane" and is often referred to as a middle ground between rubber and plastic. The material appears rubbery and is very elastic, flexible and non-slip. At the same time, TPU is also extremely hard-wearing and strong. The TPU used in our products offers high tear resistance, flexibility over a wide temperature range and high elasticity. The material used does not smell. Even sensitive customers with MCS have tolerated the material very well so far. The seams of the chambers are welded over a wide area using a special process.
Our 220V-powered air compressor has a sturdy metal housing, operates oil-free and delivers 72 liters of fresh air per minute. Further information can be found in the article "Filters".
Our optional air conditioning system also has a sturdy metal housing and delivers up to 150 liters of cool air per minute. The outdoor unit is connected in series with the compressor and the temperature is set digitally. The cooled air is distributed inside the chamber via the inner part. Distilled water is required to operate the air conditioning system.
The sturdy aluminum valves open at a chamber pressure of 1.3 ATA or 0.3 bar. Each of our models has at least two pressure relief valves.
The hoses from the compressor to the chamber and to the air conditioning system are made of food-safe PU with a pressure resistance of 10 bar.
The pressure gauges are produced by a German manufacturer. They are made of 304 stainless steel, brass and plastic and work with a display in kPa (kilopascals) between 0 and 60 kPa, depending on the model.
Five filters are installed in series directly at the air inlet of the compressor. The two outer filters are made of filter cotton and act as pre-filters and sound insulation. The middle three filters are filled with activated carbon and therefore also absorb odors from the ambient air.
A silencer with filter function is located at the air inlet to the hyperbaric chambers. It is a polyethylene (PE) filter with a pore fineness of 5µm. Many of our customers with house dust allergies report that the air in our hyperbaric chambers is significantly less irritating.
