Safetyman Comfortcool™

Australian Patent No: 640275

Outdoor Safety Shower
Designed for hot, exposed locations

 
Safetyman's outdoor safety shower and eye wash systems comply with Australian Standard AS4775 and American Standard ANSI Z358.1 2009

The Comfortcool™ Principle:

Safetyman 'Comfortcool ™ range of  safety showers are fabricated entirely from stainless steel using stainless ball valves, 200mm stainless deluge heads and specifically fabricated stainless basins. All pipework and valves in the Safetyman Comfortcool ™ range are 316 stainless. The permeable outer casing is also designed for the harsh environmental conditions likely to be encountered.

The Safetyman outdoor safety shower range is designed for hot, exposed locations where, by insolation (heating from solar radiation), the water in ordinary showers can be heated well beyond the limits of safety. The maximum safe water temperature is considered to be 35 degrees centigrade. Not only can scalding be a problem but hot water can open pores to allow greater contaminant ingress and, in some cases, it can accelerate reactions with adverse effects.

The principle is simple. It works like the old canvas water bag. The supply line is jacketed with a percolating hose which allows water, seeping through, to evaporate from the outer surface. The jacket and the water it contains insulate the supply of water and, at the same time, latent heat is removed, by evaporation, from the whole assembly. It is by these means that the supply water is kept cool and comfortable.

The supply of water is held static in the supply tube (1).
A needle valve (2) allows water from the supply tube to enter the jacket (3)
from which it percolates to the outside surface and evaporates to the atmosphere.
This avoids wastage of water when, to maintain cool conditions, it is allowed to trickle
from the system or discharge regularly under temperature control. Also, this overcomes the dangerous and avoidable time delay encountered when dry pipe showers are employed.
