Product Description
The Dräger saver CF Series equipment provide respiratory protection when escaping from a
contaminated or oxygen deficient life threatening environment.
Safety Warning:
Time required to allow the wearer to escape to a safe area must be within the specified
capacity of equipment. When selecting type and duration of escape equipment it is essential
to consider the potential hazards, storage location and possible escape routes.
The Dräger saver CF Series of Constant Flow Escape equipment consists of the following
elements,
l Carrying Bag
l Cylinder/Valve and Reducer Assembly
l Hood Assembly incorporating neck seal and orinasal half mask
Carrying Bag
The high visibility carrying bag is coloured Orange and is manufactured from a lightweight
durable flame retardant and chemical splash resistant material – Decitex PVC.
Photoluminescent panels on the bag make the unit visible in poor ambient lighting conditions.
The adjustable neck strap is manufactured from flame retardant webbing – Polyester.
The carrying bag contains the cylinder/valve and reducer assembly and hood. The equipment
is supported on the wearer by locating the adjustable strap of the carrying bag around the
back of the neck. The bag can then be positioned in the centre of the wearers’ chest or worn
to the side as a bandolier. The lid of the carrying bag is held securely with a Velcro strip.
An adjustable waistbelt is available as an optional extra.
Cylinder/Valve and Reducer Assembly

The valve and reducer of the saver CF Series is factory set and sealed. Service life of the
valve and reducer is 10 years. Servicing of the valve and reducer will therefore be due on the
nearest cylinder re-certification date to the service date of the valve and reducer (maximum
service life ten years). The cylinder re-certification test date is stamped on the cylinder.
Dräger recommends that:
1 on or before the cylinder test date the valve and reducer assemblies are returned to
Dräger Service for re-certification of the cylinder.
2 on or before the valve and reducer service date the cylinder assemblies are returned to
Dräger Service for overhaul of the valve and reducer and re-certification of the cylinder.
The Dräger guarantee of correct operational condition is only valid if Dräger perform this
service and reseal the valve. Details of the Service Overhaul Scheme are available on request.

saver CF 11
The valve and reducer cylinder assembly variants utilise a common valve and reducer.
Dependant on the capacity of the cylinder fitted they are available in either 10 or 15 minute
nominal duration versions (2L and 3L.)
Nominal operating pressure of the valve and reducer cylinder assemblies is 200bar.
The valve and reducer assembly incorporates the following:
l Swivel connector with reset button and location for activation locking clip.
l High performance pressure reduction mechanism.
l Cylinder contents pressure gauge.
l Preset air supply outlet – constant flow.
l High pressure whistle warning unit.
l Charging port with non-return valve.
Fitted to the medium pressure outlet is the preset nozzle fitted with a medium pressure hose
that connects to the front port assembly of the hood.
The high pressure whistle is preset by Dräger to activate at a cylinder pressure of 10bar
indicating end of the rated duration of the equipment. As stated the activation mechanism set
point is factory set and should not be tampered with.
Hood
The hood carcass material is soft and pliable PVC incorporating a clear full face visor. It is
constructed using RF welding technique that ensures maximum integrity of the seams of the
material. The hood completely covers and protects the head and neck of the wearer.
An orinasal mask situated inside the hood directs the constant air flow to the wearer and vents
in the mask deflect air onto the inside of the visor preventing misting.
A comfortable elastic neck seal prevents air escaping to atmosphere and stops gas or particulate
from entering hood.

Section 4 Operating Principle

saver CF 14
Operating Principle
Figure 1 shows the valve and reducer assembly in the ‘Closed’ position.
See Figure 2. Opening the lid of the carrying bag breaks the anti-tamper tag and detaches
the locking clip from the top of the pressure reduction valve releasing the spring loaded
plunger and allowing high pressure air from the cylinder to lift the plunger from its sealing
seat.
Air flows through the plunger bore into the medium pressure chamber behind the piston.
Increasing air pressure in the medium pressure chamber moves the piston axially against the
compression spring and flange of the plunger moving the plunger towards the sealing seat in
the reducer body - resulting in a reduction of air flow from the cylinder.
The balancing effect between the released high pressure air, the piston surface area and the
main compression spring force - maintains a controlled medium pressure of between 6bar
and 8bar to the outlet nozzle.
A preset orifice in the outlet nozzle maintains a constant medium pressure air flow into the
flexible supply hose to the hood.
Whistle Warning Unit

The preset Whistle Warning Unit is assembled to the high pressure side of the pressure
reduction valve.
High pressure air in the cylinder maintains a force on the whistle plunger and compression
spring sealing off the capillary to the whistle tube.
See Figure 3. During use of the equipment the volume and pressure of air remaining in the
cylinder is reduced. When the pressure is at approximately 10bar, and before air flow from
the outlet nozzle has dropped to 25 Litres/minute, the compression spring pushes the plunger
from its sealing seat allowing air to flow into and through the capillary. The released air enters
the whistle flute activating the whistle audible alarm signal and indicating to the wearer that
the apparatus is at the end of its rated duration.

rubber cover from the lung demand valve and press the centre of the diaphragm to
vent any pressure from the cylinder. Following venting refit the rubber cover.
Important Note: In June 2002 the original gauge (Type 1) was redesigned. The face diameter
of the gauge was increased and the side profile reduced (Type 2). The order part
number of the gauge remains unchanged. See the following illustrations.
Type 1 Type 2
1580
To accommodate the increased diameter of the new gauge, the inner diameter of the
gauge shroud (3350201) was increased accordingly.
The consequence of this change is as follows:
1. If required to replace a gauge (i.e. Type 1 to Type 2) the modified gauge

shroud (335020) must be used.
2. If required to replace only a gauge shroud then the modified gauge shroud
can be used with the original gauge (Type 1).

Section 6 Test Procedure

saver CF 42
6.1 Function Tests

Flow Rate and Whistle Warning Unit Test
As stated in Service and Test Intervals the airflow from pressure reduction valve
must be checked annually.
If it is considered necessary to test the audible activation of the whistle warning unit
then the cylinder should be completely vented.
Ensure that the following instructions are fully understood before attempting to carry
out checks and that a charging facility is readily available.
6.1.1 Flow Rate Test

Tools required
Flowmeter 3337507
Test Adaptor (with Foam gasket) 3310674
Plunger Probe 3310488
1 Ensure the cylinder assembly is fully

pressurised, i.e. nominal 200bar -
gauge needle should be inside the
‘Green’ segment of the gauge face.
If necessary recharge the cylinder.
2 Attach the flexible hose from the test

adaptor to the flowmeter. Locate and
press the adaptor to the retaining ring
of the inhalation port. See Fig. 1.
3 Whilst holding the adaptor in position

activate the constant flow air supply
by removing the locking clip from
pressure reducing valve.
Fig. 1
1172
Note: Following removal of the locking clip from the valve an initial high air flow will be
indicated on the flowmeter - take reading of flowmeter when the air flow settles, i.e.
after approximately 5 seconds.
The settled flow should be between 35.0 to 37 litres/minute (with filter) at nominal
200bar.
Flow rate without filter - refer to Section 5.5.3 - Page 29.
Important Note:
If the flow rate is too low, rotate nozzle 90 degrees and attempt to open the
orifice (reset), or replace nozzle and re-test. See Section 5.5.3. - Page 29.
If flow rate is too high, attempt to reset nozzle. See Section 5.5.3. - Page 29.

saver CF 43
4 Immediately a settled flow rate is

achieved then press the plunger
button and refit the locking clip. See
Fig. 2.
As a result of carrying out a flow test

the pressure in the cylinder will have
dropped - reducing the available
duration of the equipment. If the
needle of the gauge is still inside the
‘green’ segment it is still acceptable
to reuse the equipment, however it
is recommended by Dräger that
following any flow test the cylinder
is boost charged.
Fig. 2
1157
Whistle Warning Unit Test - Optional

5 If it is required to test conformation of activation and audible signal of the whistle
warning unit then following the Flow Test allow the air to vent from the cylinder and
check that at a flow rate between 25 to 28 litres/minute the whistle warning unit
activates and emits an audible signal.
Important Note:
If the whistle activates outside the above flow specification - or fails to activate
- or fails to sound - then return cylinder assembly to Dräger Service.
6 Refer to Fig. 2. Using the reset probe press the plunger button of the valve and refit
locking clip. If the unit passes the flow test and whistle test then recharge cylinder.
