The DTB10C Type 3 has a highly advanced electrical system that incorporates a diagnostic fault indication system as well as additional mechanical features. The Type 3 has been chosen by many Fire & Rescue brigades & Professional organizations requiring a more compact, feature rich & economical alternative to Pneumatically driven systems.

DTB10C - Type 3


The Type 3 is the most advanced system of its kind available in the world. The new updated version builds upon our experience with gas management to provide in one compact system, all the features that are required to achieve a high duty cycle in a safe controlled manner. The Type 3 brings together all the management factors on one control interface. We have both Inlet and outlet control gauges as well as a supply pressure gauge and an inter-stage pressure gauge. The latter is an important indicator to correct booster function. A needle valve is fitted to control the initial decant flow rate, and a system drain valve is fitted which vents through a capillary which restricts discharge rates to a safe level . Both the drain valve and the additional PED certified Oxygen rated safety relief valve can be piped away to vent into the room extraction system to prevent O2 build up. The system has two distinct filling modes selected as PM or KO on the control panel switch.

PM - Pressure maintain.. This mode will ensure the maximum fill pressure is achieved as the system will cut off at the selected pressure but after a period of cooling will re-start the system to bring the pressure back to the set point. If filling small cylinders of approx 1litre, this feature will prove very useful as pressure drop after cooling will be greater than with larger volume cylinders.

KO - Pressure knock off. This function will; simply cut out at the pressure set point and will not re-start.

The electrical control panel incorporates a number of fault indicator lights and a number of sensors relay system integrity to the operator which in turn can provide our technicians with the information to diagnose fault conditions over the phone. Historical data indicates that 95% of issues are resolved in this way, without and engineer having to attend. We have a number of these units in use with the UK's largest Fire brigade and the 4 years in service has resulted in a 50% reduction in service costs compared to the Pneumatically driven pumps they replaced. Call us to discuss your application and any special requirements you may have.
