Description
FORT COLLINS, Colo. — A new breathing apparatus could replace traditional SCBA and go a long way toward eliminating many firefighting heat-related ailments in the near future.

The SuperCritical Air Mobility Pack (SCAMP) system cools the wearer while also delivering the same amount of air as traditional SCBA, but in a smaller package.

Developers behind the technology are hoping to reduce the frequency with which firefighters are pulled out of service and cooled with water and ice packs.

"This system would never let a firefighter's core temperature get high enough for them to get heat stress, circumventing the problem right at the source," Colorado State University Professor Thomas Bradley, an engineer behind the project, said.

Research into more compact firefighter breathing apparatus was spurred as Kennedy Space Center found a need for firefighting equipment that could fit into space shuttle hatch doors approximately 20 inches in width and height.

SCAMP uses cryogenic technology to cool air to temperatures around minus 170 F, making it no longer a gas and not quite a liquid. Under the cryogenic conditions, the air takes up less space and allows the device to be worn as a thin backpack as part of a suit or specially modified turnout gear.
