Development of Protective Industrial Mask for Working in Clensol Environment

Abstract

The proper mixing of the fuel and the air before the entry of engine makes the automobile vehicles to function properly. This accurate mixing can be obtained with the solitude great performance of carburetors. The performance of the carburetors is being checked continuously with sequential development during manufacturing processes. Once the development of the carburetor with the coverings is completed, their performances are in need to be checked. As the fuel used possess characteristics such as high reactivity with atmospheric oxygen, lesser density and high volatility, it cannot be used in the testing process. Hence fuel with the equivalent chemical formula as that of petrol is to be chosen and was found to be clensol. Owing to the above reasons, it is used to test the performance of carburetor especially for inspecting the movement of float and to detect leakage and so on. Hence they are used to test the performance of the carburetor as movement of float, leakage etc. Though this chemical seems to be a gift for the industry, it seems to have a lot of disadvantages because of this highly volatility which greatly placed the major role in decrementing the respiratory health of human work force leading to the throat infection, lung infection and often results in dermatological issues. Despite protective mask which are being provided by the industries to the work in order to avoid direct inhalation of volatile clensol. The detrimental effects were found not to be reduced up to the mark. Hence, this project deals with the development of mask with the suitable materials which will reduce the amount of clensol penetration in the inhaling air. The reduction of clensol level in the developed mask was tested and tabulated.
