The Safe Cell
NBC air filtration systems

The Safe Cell is a portable, positive pressure emergency air filtration system designed to overpressure protected spaces such as underground shelters, and safe rooms to provide collective protection during and after a nuclear, biological, or chemical event.

It works by drawing air in through an intake hose from the outside, then through a bank of filters - pre-filters, a nuclear grade HEPA, and a war gas carbon adsorber. Then the air is expelled into the protected space at a higher pressure than the outside atmosphere. This positive pressure (overpressure) ensures that all the air inside the protected space is flowing outward so no toxins can migrate into your shelter through the cracks.

It features a filter bank that is designed to protect against all known airborne toxins including nuclear fallout, radioactive iodine, weaponized biological carcinogens, and warfare gases such as sarin, VX, and tabun.

The entire system has been designed to meet the critical requirements in the United States Army Corps of Engineers Technical Letter ETL 1110-3-498.

For more information, please see the detail parts pages and the installation and operation manuals below.

To order one of these systems, please contact American Safe Room.

Common capabilities and features to all of the above models

  • Designed for installation in protected spaces up to 3,500 cubic feet (99 cubic meters)
  • Designed for installation in protected spaces holding up to 12 occupants using the ASHRE standard of 5 CFM per occupant
  • Designed for wall mounting inside a protected space
   
   
   
   

Optional bypass port
All of the above models can have a bypass port installed in the top end bell at the factory. This bypass port allows you to connect the air intake hose to the top end bell - drawing in outside air, bypassing the filter bank, and blowing fresh, unfiltered air into your protected space.

This configuration is to only be used to ventilate your shelter while extending the life of your filters when there is no airborne toxin threat.

The addition of this port costs $75.00 and can be selected for each filter listed above on the detail order page.

Optional backup hand pump
They also will accept the manual backup bellows that allows you to draw filtered air into your protected space during long term power outages. This hand pump will instantly slip onto the top outflow port of the Safe Cell for immediate operation. Find out more information on the emergency hand pump page.
