3.2 DESCRIPTION. The BACS is used by shipboard damage control and firefighting personnel as a means to charge SCBAs to a pressure of 4,500 psi wit h breathing quality air (Grade D as defined by the Compressed Gas Association (CGA) G-7.1). The BACS can be used for charging SCBA cylinder assemblies or for quick-charging SCBA. The BACS is comprised of three subassemblies: the Air Booster Pump Assembly (ABPA), the High Pressure Filter Assembly (HPFA), and connecting hose assemblies. The BACS receives high-pressure air from the ship high-pressure air system. The ship high-pressure air system is hard-piped into the bulkhead-mounted HPFA, where it is divided into filtered and unfiltered air and then routed to the ABPA via two high-pressure hose assemblies. The filtered air is used to charge SCBA or SCBA cylinder assemblies via a Filtered Air Supply Hose Assembly (H-102). The unfiltered high-pressure air from the HPFA is used to operate the booster pump. 3.2.1 ABPA. The ABPA is a two-man portable system housed within an aluminum tubular frame. The frame supports a control panel and is shielded by protective front and back covers. The ABPA receives both high-pressure filtered air and high-pressure drive (unfiltered) air from the HPFA. The filtered air enters the ABPA via a quick disconnect (QD), passes by a gauge, and flows through a shutoff valve, where airflow into the booster pump is controlled. The air enters the booster pump, where the air pressure is increased to 4,500 psig. The high-pressure air then takes three paths: (1) to the sensing port of a pilot switch (AHP-V205), which controls the flow of drive air to the booster pump; (2) to a surge tank, which serves to absorb highpressure fluctuations during operation; and (3) through an in-line filter, past a high pressure gauge, and into the SCBA cylinder assembly. A high-pressure relief valve is attached to the surge tank and is used to prevent over-pressurization of the filtered air circuit. The drive air enters the ABPA via a QD, passes a high-pressure gauge, and flows through a regulator, where pressure is reduced to 125 ± 5 psig. The reduced air is monitored by a low-pressure gauge and passes through a filter into a cross before taking three paths: (1) to the pilot switch (AHP-V205), which automatically stops the flow of drive air to the booster pump when the filtered air pressure reaches 4,500 psig; (2) to a relief valve (AHP-V304) that prevents over-pressurization of the drive air circuit; and (3) past a flow control valve that controls booster pump speed. Figure 3-2 illustrates and lists components of the ABPA 3.2.1.1 Drive Air Inlet Pressure Gauge (AHP-G201). The drive air Inlet Pressure Indicator is a 0 to 5,000 psig pressure gauge that displays regulator inlet pressure from the HPFA. 3.2.1.2 Drive Air Regulator (AHP-V201). The drive air regulator reduces the ship high-pressure air sy stem to 125 ± 5 psig. 3.2.1.3 Regulated Air Pressure Gauge (ALP-G202). The Regulated Air Pressure Indicator is a 0 to 200 psig pressure gauge that displays the reduced air pressure reading after the drive air pressure is regulated. 3.2.1.4 Drive Air Filter. The drive air filter removes an automatic drain valve (AHP-V305). moisture and debris from drive air. This filter also has 3.2.1.5 Drive Air Relief Valve (ALP-V202). The drive air relief valve is located between the drive air regulator (AHP-V201) and booster pump and actuates if drive air exceeds 150 psig. 3. 2.1.6 Drive Air Bleed Valve (ALP-V204). The drive air bleed valve is used to release remaining drive air to the atmosphere after charging is complete. 3.2.1.7 Drive Air Control Valve (ALP-V203). The Drive Air Control Valve is a needle valve that controls the flow of drive air to the booster pump. The more the drive air valve is opened, the faster the booster pump will operate. 3-2

The Filtered Air Inlet Valve is a needle valve that is used to control filtered air flow through the booster pump to the SCBA cylinder assemblies. 3.2.1.10 Booster Pump. The booster pump, powered by low pressure drive air, is used to compress air filtered by the HPFA to 4,500 psig. Revision 1 3-3

3.2.1.11 Surge Tank. The surge tank provides a volume to absorb high pressure fluctuations. 3.2.1.12 Filtered Air Relief Valve (AHP-V207). The Filtered Air Relief Valve is a relief valve that is located on the surge tank, and actuates if air pressure exceeds 5,300 psig. 3.2.1.13 Pilot Switch (AHP-V205). The pilot switch senses when the booster pump discharge pressure reaches 4,500 psig and shuts off the drive air supply. 3.2.1.14 In-Line Filter. The in-line filter removes particulates from booster pump discharge prior to entering the quick-charge wands. 3.2.1.15 Filtered Air Outlet Pressure Gauge (AHP-G203). The Filtered Air Outlet Pressure Gauge is a 0 to 6,000 psig pressure gauge that indicates charging air pressure. 3.2.2 HPFA. The HPFA is bulkhead-mounted and hard-piped into the ship high-pressure service line via a bulkhead union in the top back center of the HPFA. Air flows through the bulkhead fitting to a tee that directs the air to either (1) the drive air quick disconnect nipple and in-line filter ready for discharge to the ABPA or (2) to the HPFA filters. Air directed to the HPFA filters first passes through a coalescor filter, through a check valve, and then to the two cartridge holders. The first cartridge holder houses a desiccant cartridge for moisture removal. The second cartridge holder houses a cartridge that contains a desiccant for moisture removal, as well as a catalyst for conversion of carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2), and charcoal for odor removal. From the cartridge holders, the air enters the manifold, which directs the air to an H 2 O/CO indicator housing and a pressure gauge. The air then passes through a micronic filter to a shutoff valve and a quick disconnect socket, and is ready for discharge to the ABPA. Figure 3-3 illustrates and lists components of the HPFA. 3.2.2.1 Coalescor Filter. The coalescor filter removes moisture from air supplied by the ship high-pressure air system. 3.2.2.2 Relief Valve (AHP-V304). The relief valve actuates if pressure in the filter assembly exceeds 3,300 psig. 3.2.2.3 Check Valve (AHP-V303). The check valve ensures a one-way flow of air from the ship high-pressure air system to the cartridge holders. 3.2.2.4 Cartridge Holders. The two cartridge holders are identical, but hold different filter cartridges. The first, located on the right side of the assembly (labeled TOWER 1) holds a desiccant cartridge for moisture removal; the second, located on the left side of the assembly (labeled TOWER 2) holds a composite filter element containing a desiccant, a catalyst for conversion of CO to CO 2, and charcoal for odor removal. 3.2.2.5 Manifold. The manifold houses the H 2 O/CO indicator, HPFA gauge (AHP-G301), in-line filter, shutoff valve (AHP-V301), and bleed valve (AHP-V302). 3.2.2.6 H2O/CO Indicator. The H 2 O/ CO indicator is located downstream of the cartridge holders and indicates the presence of water and carbon monoxide in breathing air. 3.2.2.7 HPFA Indicator (AHP-G301). The HPFA Indicator is a 0 to 5,000 psig pressure indicator that displays filtered air pressure in the HPFA. 3.2.2.8 In-Line Filters. The first in-line filter removes particulates from the drive air before it is discharged to the ABPA and the second removes any remaining particulates from the filtered air. 3. 2.2.9 Shutoff Valve (AHP-V301). The shutoff valve controls filtered air flow to the ABPA. 3-4

CHAPTER 4 SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WARNING 4.1 INTRODUCTION. Omission or negligent performance of prescribed maintenance procedures for this equipment could result in equipment failure and serious injury or death to personnel. Proper scheduling and performance of preventive maintenance actions reduces equipment failures and ensures efficient performance of the Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Breathing Air Charging System (SCBA BACS), hereinafter referred to as BACS. This chapter outlines safety requirements, defines the maintenance concept, references the BACS Planned Maintenance System (PMS), discusses reporting requirements, and provides general maintenance instructions relating to both scheduled and unscheduled (corrective) maintenance actions. 4.2 SCOPE. The preventive maintenance requirements for the BACS are addressed in this chapter to assist supervisors and maintenance personnel in planning, scheduling, and documenting maintenance actions. The information in this chapter supplements the BACS PMS (paragraph 4.5) and is presented in the following sequence: Safety Requirements Maintenance Concept Planned Maintenance System United States Navy (USN) Maintenance and Material Management (3-M) System Coverage and Problem Reporting General Maintenance Instructions 4.3 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS. Maintenance personnel shall read and thoroughly understand the safety precautions contained in this manual and the appropriate Maintenance Requirement Card (MRC) contained in the SCBA BACS PMS before performing any maintenance on the BACS. Forces afloat should also comply with Office of the Chief of Naval Operations Instruction (OPNAVINST) 5100.19, Navy Occupation al Safety and Health (NAVOSH) Program Manual for Force s Afloat, Vol I/II/III. Shore activities should comply with OPNAVINST 5100.23, Navy Occupational Safety and Health (NAVOSH) Program Manual. 4.4 MAINTENANCE CONCEPT. The BACS maintenance concept is based on the Navy PMS, which classifies maintenance into two categories: scheduled and unscheduled. 4.4.1 Scheduled Maintenance. Scheduled maintenance primarily involves actions required to ensure reliable system operation and includes actions such as inspection, cleaning, lubrication, leak testing, and Revision 1 4-1
