Diesel-poweredMulti-Purpose DecontaminationSystem (MPDS)The MPDS module is a follow-on development of the NATOhigh-pressure cleaning anddecontamination system"KRCHER HDS 1200 BK"which is being used worldwideby more than 40 armed forces,12 of these appertaining toNATO-countries. Due tomodular construction, it is ofuniversal use, either as anindependent single unit orincorporated in a morecomplex system.n The MPDS module operatesat temperatures from -30C to+60C. For optimal functioningunder arctic conditions, oil and

air are preheated. The watersupply functions in a self-sucking way up to 5 m height:from creeks, rivers, hydrants orwater tanks. As to the navy,operation with sea water isalso granted (sea-water-resistant high-pressure pump).n According to militaryrequirements with a highdegree of interferencesuppression. Diesel supply forburner and Diesel engine isdone from an exchangeablecan. The supply withchemicals via the high-pressure pump is infinitelyvariable up to 60 I/h.

n All functions are controlledby a central control panel.Temperature is infinitelyvariable from cold water, hotwater and hot steam to drysteam (from 0C to 210C).

KRCHER, the mostimportant producer ofhigh-pressure cleaningsystems in the world hasfurnished landforce airforce,navy, civil protectionand disaster controlorganizations for morethan 25 years with steamcleaners, high-pressurecleaning systems anddecontamination systems.

Universal use due to high technologyMATERIALDECONTAMINATIONDeradiationHot-foam treatment ensuressafe deradiation. Hot foam issprayed onto the surface at atemperature of 80C by meansof the MPDS and a foamnozzle. The agent contained inthe foam (RM54 and inhibitor)complexes the radioactiveparticles. After a reaction time ofapproximately 10 minutes thefallout and other particles (e.g.dirt, pollution) are rinsed withthe highpressure jet (onlyMPDS)' without foam nozzle.Only hotfoam treatment ensuresfull deradiation of material.

Disinfection

Fast disinfection can be solvedwith or without specific agents.The scope of temperatures ofthe MPDS is adjustable up to210C. Exterior disinfection is

done at 140C using adisinfecting agent (RM35,quarternary ammoniumcompounds) if required. Interiordisinfection of buildings,vehicles, etc., is done at 210Cdry steam.

DecontaminationSensitive military systems, e.g.planes, helicopters, etc aredecontaminated by high-pressurehot-water spray jets (80C) andnon-aggressive decontaminationagents. For helicopters it isrecommended to apply thepreventive NBC hot-wax coatingsystem by the MPDS so as toavoid penetration of chemicalagents into the varnish. n As to materialdecontamination, e.g. tanks,vehicles, etc., the MPDS is usedfor pre-treatment (cold-waterhigh-pressure cleaning). n To optimize thedecontamination result, follow-onwith steam (140C) is required.

DECONTAMINATIONOF CLOTHING ANDEQUIPMENTn Decontamination of clothingand equipment by hot-gas/hot-steam treatment. in case ofbreathable protective clothing(Overgarments) proper anddeliberate full decontamination isgranted through this treatment.Wash-out treatments are notsuitable for full decontamination.Protective masks, weapons andrubber-made protective masksare decontaminated in theevaporating container. Over-garments, weapons, etc. are

decontaminated in the decon-tamination tent.

PERSONNELDECONTAMINATIONSoldiers of NBC-defence unitsdecontaminate their protectivesuits before taking them off bymeans of the steam spray jet,thus avoiding self-contaminationwhen undressing. The MPDS is perfectly suitablefor field-shower operations (e.g.in reconstitution and reliefareas/facilities). The high-performance high-pressure pumpensures continuous andindependent supply of the fieldshower from wells, hydrants,water tanks, etc.

INTERIORDECONTAMINATIONInterior decontamination ofbuildings, shelters, etc. iseffected at the 210C dry-steamstage.

TERRAINDECONTAMINATIONFor a great number ofdecontamination tasks, a 10percent mixture of water andchlorine solution is sufficient.This task is solved by a high-pressure injector (extraaccessories).

Multi-purpose systemfor daily useIt was developed for manymaintenance and repair tasks atvehicles, tanks, helicopters,airplanes and ships.

High- pressurecleaning of weaponsystemsFor cleaning tasks the MPDS canindependently be used with high-pressure cold water, hot water,steam and dry steam for anymaintenance and repair tasksequal to the NATO high-pressurecleaning system HDS 1200 BK(Diesel engine) or HDS 1200 EK(electric engine). According tothe maintenance instructions acomprehensive range of cleaningagents is available. Militaryspecial tasks in the frame ofrepair works are solved byespecially developedaccessories.n Fast and safe tank/containerdegassing with the tank/containerdegassing kit.n Safe bomb-disposal with theEOD (explosive ordnancedisposal) kit.n Economic airplane cleaning ofstable value with the cleaning,preservation and auxiliary de-icing kit for aircraft. n Removing corrosion fromvehicles with the sand-blastingset. n Hot-wax preservation forstoring weapon systems so as toreduce stationary damages withthe MPDS and KRCHER hot-wax. n De-icing of missile systems.

The air-cooled Diesel enginedrives the high-pressure pump,supplying the module withelectric energy via a toppedgenerator. The Diesel enginehas a performance of 4.2 kW at3000 RPM. The engine is auto-matically started by a mainte-nance-free battery. If necessary,it can also be started manually.The Diesel engine is connectedwith the pump through an elec-tromagnetic clutch. If the spraygun is shut off, engine and pumpare disconnected from eachother by the pressure switch. Inoperation, when the spray gun isopen, the pressure switch startsthe electromagnetic clutch. Thisis energy-saving, protects theengine and considerablyincreases the lifetime of theentire system.The special burner system ismarked by its high heating per-formance, its simple but fullyautomatic operation and its en-vironmental features. The burnersystem operating at reversecurrent is heated by Diesel fuel.

The temperature control regulatesthe burner. The Diesel consumptionis controled by a circuit system. Forwater heating, Diesel is injected intothe burner. When the burner is out ofoperation, the Diesel flows back intothe fuel can. The burner has aheating performance of 420,000 kJconsuming 11.5 kg Diesel/h. Theabove-mentioned heatingperformance is sufficient to increasethe water temperature supplied bythe high-pressure pump up to 210Cthus being in a position to generatedry steam. The flame is controlled bya photoelectric monitor. In case theflame extinguishes due to failure,Diesel supply is automaticallystopped and the disturbance isindicated at the control board. Themain components of the module areintegrated in an aluminium frame.These are: driving engine, high-pressure pump, heat exchange unitand control board.
