SERVICING

In order to maintain optimum 

performance, AFU 2 and AFU 4 must 

be tested regularly and serviced at 

scheduled intervals by personnel who 

have completed a formal training 

course and hold a current certificate 

for the servicing and repair of Scott 

Safety compressed-air airline breathing 

apparatus.
Instructions for the replacement of 

filter elements are contained within 

this manual. All other instructions for 

servicing are contained in the Scott 

Safety Service Manual, copies of which 

can only be obtained by registered 

holders of a current certificate.
Your distributor or Training and 

Technical Support Services will be 

pleased to provide training course 

details and quotes for service contracts. 

Please see above for contact details.

The Scott Safety AFU is an Airline Filter 

Unit designed to remove dirt particles, 

water and oil from a breathable air 

supply for use with compressed-air 

airline breathing apparatus.
Scott Safety AFU is available in two 

sizes, dependant upon the maximum 

flow-rate required:

AFU 2 has a maximum flow capacity 

of 13 litres per second (28 cubic feet 

per minute) at 7 Bar G (100 psi G). 

This unit can only be used to supply 

a maximum of 3 wearers of demand 

valve-fed apparatus or 2 wearers of 

constant-flow apparatus.
AFU 4 has a maximum flow capacity 

of 25 litres per second (53 cubic feet 

per minute) at 7 Bar G (100 psi G). 

This will allow up to 6 wearers (3 pairs) 

of demand valve-fed apparatus or 

4 wearers (2 pairs) of constant-flow 

apparatus.

These units are available either mounted 

in a tubular steel floor stand or in a box 

enclosure suitable for wall-mounting.
All units work on the same principle, 

utilising a three-stage filtration system.
The first stage AO Filter is a high-

efficiency coalescing filter for the 

removal of dirt particles down to 1 x 

10-6 metres in size.
The second stage AA Filter is a high-

efficiency coalescing filter for the 

removal of oil mist/ water aerosol and 

dirt particles down to 0.01 x 10-6 metres 

in size with a maximum remaining oil 

content of 0.01mg/m3.
An auto-drain valve is fitted to each 

of the first and second stage filter 

housings to allow water and other 

liquids to be safely drained away.
The third stage AC Filter is an 

absorption bed of activated carbon for 

the removal of oil vapours and odours. 

The air supply following this stage has 

a maximum remaining oil content of 

0.003mg/m3 at a temperature of 21

O

C.
