SHELTER PACKAGE VENTILATION KIT

Abstract

Certain fallout shelters in the United States require ventilation systems capable of supplying from 5 to about 30 cubic feet per minute of outside air per person sheltered in order to achieve a high confidence of maintaining tolerable conditions of temperature and humidity during hot weather. The goals of this development program are portability, low cost, manual and electric drive, ease and universality of application. The resulting Package Ventilation Kit (PVK) is a complete packaged mechanical ventilation system that is portable, can be assembled and deployed by untrained personnel, and can be driven either electrically or by human power. The PVK consists of two basis packages -- a Fan Assembly and Drive Module.
