- ESCAPE SHELTERS
**PROTECTION PRINCIPAL**

- Refuge shelters designed by Draeger offer protection to the users by creating a respirable atmosphere inside an enclosed space.
- Protection is ensured by:
-  Maintaining the Oxygen level in the range 19%vol > O2 > 22%vol
-  Maintaining the Carbon Dioxide level CO2< 1%vol
-  Creating an **overpressurized atmosphere** inside the shelter
- The shelters are designed for protecting a certain number of people for a certain length of time.
