1.Self-priming filtering respirator (passive protection) Principle: By relying on the user's own breathing force to overcome the resistance of the filter material, dust in the air is filtered.
Common types: Disposable KN95 masks, replaceable half masks/full face masks.
Advantages: Lightweight, low cost, simple to operate. Limitations: The breathing resistance increases as the dust load on the filter cotton increases, which can lead to fatigue; the facial sealing requirement is extremely high, and it is prone to leakage due to issues such as shaving or facial shape.
2. Electric forced-air respirator (PAPR, Active Protection)
Principle: Through a battery-powered fan, the environment air is actively drawn in, purified by the efficient filter box, and continuously sent into the mask to create positive pressure inside the mask. Representative equipment: DaYu PAPR filtering electric-powered air supply respirator. Core Strengths: Zero breathing resistance: The active air supply completely eliminates the breathing burden, significantly reducing lung fatigue. It is especially suitable for high-intensity work. Higher protection safety: The continuous positive pressure inside the mask can effectively prevent external contaminants from entering due to facial movements or sudden leaks.
Excellent comfort: Continuous air supply provides a cool and dry breathing experience and can prevent the lenses from fogging up, improving the compliance for long-term wearing.
Wider face shape adaptability: The positive pressure design reduces the reliance on absolute facial sealing, making it more suitable for workers with beards or special facial shapes.
