An enclosure for housing people in the event of a serious air quality degradation is provided. A pressurized enclosure, either permanent or temporary, includes an air supply system for filtering and subsequently supplying clean air to the interior of the enclosure. The structure will be deployable and/or activated from a remote control station or from the protective structure itself. Life support elements are stored in the enclosure for use as needed.

Personnel protective action system

A deployable flexible walled enclosure for housing people in the event of a serious air quality degradation is provided. A pressurized enclosure, either stored in a permanent location or transportable to a selected site, includes an air supply system for filtering and subsequently supplying clean air to the interior of the enclosure. The structure is compactly packaged when not in use and is capable of being deployable and/or activated from a remote control station in time of need. A small cache of life support elements are stored in the predeployed enclosure for use as needed upon deployment.

Protective action system including a deployable system

In a regenerable collective protection system the turbine of an air cycle machine is driven by a potion of the clean air output of a pressure swing adsorber bed pair in the system. The beds in the pair are used alternately to cleanse contaminated air. They are then alternately purged of contaminant products. Valves are used to direct these alternate operations. The valve closures cause overpressures in the clean air output. The overpressures are predictable in relation to the valve actuation sequence and are removed by coordinating operation of a surge air bleed valve in the clean air output with valve actuation in the pressure swing adsorber bed pair.
