2. INTRODUCTION
3. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The STR system consists of a number of parts of which the
Plymovent yellow and black extraction hose assembly is most
visible to the user.
The extraction hose has a Safety Disconnect Coupling built in,
this to protect the system against misuse. The hose is p
ositioned in the Saddle which connects to the balancer. The
balancer is connected to the aluminium track via a special
trolley. This enables the trolley to move inside the aluminium
profile which is positioned above and to the tailpipe side of the
vehicle.
The aluminium rail has a circular design with an open section
of 200 cm
2
/31 in
2
. The underside of the profile is sealed by
rubber lips. The system allows for flexibility in stations with
multiple vehicles in line with side or rear high exhaust pipes.
Method of use:
An automatic, magnetic exhaust gas extraction system, specifi-
cally designed for exhaust extraction of fire and rescue vehi-
cles with low level, side exhaust pipes. The system is used to
remove the poisonous petrol and diesel gas fumes direct at the
emission source, the exhaust pipe.
When the vehicle is on its way out of the station, the
extraction hose, connected to the exhaust by a special device
called a Grabber
®
to the tailpipe connector moves along with
the vehicle.
Poisonous diesel gasses pass from the Grabber®, up the
extraction hose and into the ducting and extraction fan before
escaping to the atmosphere.
As the vehicles drive out through the doors, the trolley moves
to the end of the track. There the balancer locking cable
restricts the balancer to unwind pulling the Grabber® from
the tailpipe connector allowing it to disconnect.
On the return of the vehicle to the station, The Grabber
®
is
easily re-connected to the exhaust pipe. At the same time
the fan automatically starts up and the vehicle continues to its
standard park position
WARNING!
The use of exhaust removal hose is allowed for:
- Moving of diesel-vehicles in- or out halls / stations.
- Short time maintenance work of diesel-vehicles,
but only if the engine is running on the minimum
rpm.
- The vehicle must leave and enter the station with
a modified speed in order to avoid damage to the
system and possible injury to people.
