CHECK TEST OF FILTER UNIT, GAS-PARTICULATE, TANK, FIVE-MAN, E37R2

Abstract

The particulate filter consists of M1A1 precleaner; an E45,20-CFM, particulate filter; an electric motor with fan; and 2 E44, 10-CFM, gas filters. An installation kit is provided with each unit; flexible tubing and noses are used to duct the air to the crew positions. A rheostat controlled heater is mounted at each crew member's station to warm the air supply. A combat vehicle protective mask, E56R4 is used with the unit. Mask spectacles, winterization kit, spare parts kits and hood are included in the equipment. Except for the excessive cold air transmitted to the loader's position, and other adjustment, the filter unit was satisfactory with respect to function suitability, operation, comfort and safety at the tank commander, gunner and drive stations, maintenance, durability and reliability. It is recommended for use under arctic conditions.
