Product Features
1.  Intrinsically safe, user friendly design.
Rhine Air Systems are available in Pneumatic Driven (Sparkless) or Electric Driven (Explosion-Proof) versions.  All parts are mated together and exhibit Static Electrical Continuity to a Frame Mounted Grounding Receptacle.  Ventilator Ducting is specially designed to conduct and relax Static Charges usually evident when air and fuel vapor is rapidly displaced by the Ventilator.  All equipment is very simple to understand and operate.  Units require little if any maintenance or support.
2.  Highly effective, portable design.
Rhine Air Systems have been tested and used on all sizes of aircraft.  In almost every circumstance they have consistently reduced the amount of time required to complete operations.  Rhine Air Systems offer more potential set-up and use options than any other system in its size and class.  Additional set-up options increase the systems capability to work within any size fuel tank.  Rhine Air System Components are designed to be as lightweight and portable as possible.  Ease of transportability and setup will save valuable time during operations.  Product Durability is also an important design feature.  All  Ventilators feature Metal Base Frame and Enclosures to provide protection of vital internal parts.  All units are able to operate with fixed base or portable power supplies.
3.  Rhine Air Ventilator Systems can completely route, isolate and discharge air flow to the exact desired location.
The Rhine Air Ventilator System was designed to provide the customer with the ability to extract, isolate and route potential hazardous fuel vapors completely out of the work area or hanger.  Keeping the surrounding environment clean of airborne fuel vapors reduces the risk of potential explosion or fire and also eliminates the exposure of personnel to the inhalation of these unhealthful vapors.
