Designed to provide worker comfort in extremely hot environments, the system consists of a diffuse-air vest attached to a small vortex tube. The vortex tube converts compressed air to cold air up to 60F° (33C°) below or above the air inlet temperature. The vest feeds the air to the worker's face and torso. Note: The system is not a source of respiratory protection in hazardous environments. |

DO NOT CONFUSE AMBIENT, CONDUCTIVE AND RADIANT HEAT! The following definitions are given as a reference as well as vital assistance in selecting the proper clothing for heat protection.
AMBIENT HEAT is the surrounding atmospheric temperature in a given situation.
Examples: 65º - 70ºF in an office; 2000ºF in a fire walk
CONDUCTIVE HEAT is generated by direct contact with a hot surface.
Examples: picking up a burner block at 600ºF; leaning against a furnace wall at 1000ºF
RADIANT HEAT is generated by the sun or a source of fire, such as a fireplace or furnace, and is absorbed by masses of material struck by the heat's rays. (This is why it is cooler in the shade on a hot day) | Primary protective clothing data:
Protective clothing designed to be worn for work activities during which significant exposure to molten substance splash, radiant heat and flame is likely to occur. Such work activities include charging, taping and pouring, during which work is carried out in close proximity to molten substances and hot surfaces and contact with either is likely | Secondary protective clothing data:
Protective clothing designed to continuous wear for work activities in designated locations in which intermittent exposure to molten substance splash, radiant heat and flame sources is possible. Secondary protective clothing is designed so that it will not continue to burn after exposure to and removal of a source of ignition. Protection against metal splash and radiant heat are secondary in intent. | Aluminized Clothing |  |  | 602 (Coat, 45")

Our suits are used in industries where protection from high heat sources, including steam and hot liquids or vapors, is required. Examples would be refineries, petrochemical plants, foundries and casting plants, basic steel and aluminum industries, glass and ceramic plants, and laboratories. Our Fire Entry suit is an essential safety measure for industries dealing with volatile or highly flammable materials. The Kiln and Proximity suits are used for maintenance tasks in high heat areas such as kiln or oven maintenance and repair. The proximity suit with its double vapor barrier should be used when steam and volatile materials present an addtional hazard. The kiln suit is suitable for short duration in ambient heat up to 1000ºF and the proximity suit in ambient heat up to 500ºF. The non-insulated approach suit is used in just about every industry requiring heat protective clothing. It is suitable where ambient tempertures do not exceed 200ºF. All suits with aluminized ZETEX outer shell fabric are suitable for exposure to radiant heat up to 2000ºF.
Breathing apparatus is required for the kiln and fire entry suits, and is optional for the proximity and approach suits. We do recommend that proximity suits be ordered with breathing apparatus accommodation. Always have two people suited with fire entry, kiln and proximity suits to work in relays and to aid each other. | Accessories for Entry Suits
Gel Pack Cooling Vest | 
Vortex Cooling Vest | FR-7A
Cooling vest. One size fits all. Requires 6 each polyethylene gel packs per vest. 3 each in back and 3 each in front. Packs are frozen and then placed in the foil insulated pockets to keep wearer cool in hot environments. | Vortex head and body cooling system uses 70 - 100 psig (4.8 - 6.9 bar) compressed air to cool a worker up to 60ºF differential fro the air inlet temperature. Vest makes most efficient use of cooling power by properly distributing tempered air over the body. | |
