Emergency Fire Stations
Emergency Vehicle Exhaust Extraction Systems
These specialist `drive off connected` type systems are bespokely designed to automatically disconnect the flexible grabber pneumatic nozzle from the exhaust pipe as the vehicle departs in an emergency call out situation.
The exhaust extraction fan is operated automatically by the sensing of the flow of exhaust fumes in the main extruded rail by 3no. fixed blow sensors. Then as the vehicle leaves the station the extraction fan continues to run on for a set time to ensure that all fumes have passed through the extraction hose and rail and thus are extracted to atmosphere.
Tailored systems in our range include;-
Sliding Trolley Rail (STR) System
A sliding trolley operates within an aluminium extruded rail and is manually connected to an emergency vehicle by means of a simple one handed air switch. This compresses the nozzle onto any shaped exhaust within its range. As the vehicle starts up exhaust emissions are detected by small blow sensors mounted within the rail, this tells the extraction fan to run for as long as it can sense exhaust gas flow and for 30 seconds after it has finished sensing flow. When the vehicle then starts to drive off through the bay it eventually gets to a dedicated position at high level where a simple air release switch automatically deflates the `grabber bag typenozzle`and releases the vehicle. Up to 2no. trollies can be fitted to one track for double lengthed parked emergency vehicles. This system is ideal for drive through or reverse in type stations. This is the ONLY system that grabs 100% of the fume emitted from the vehicle.
Sliding Balancer Track (SBT) System
This is an economical solution with a sliding hose that operates within an steel extruded track and is manually connected to an emergency vehicle by means of a simple one handed air switch. This compresses the nozzle onto any shaped exhaust within its range. As the vehicle starts up exhaust emissions are is detected by small blow sensors mounted within the rail, this tells the extraction fan to run for as long as it can sense exhaust gas flow and for 30 seconds after it has finished sensing flow. When the vehicle then starts to drive off through the bay it eventually gets to a dedicated position at high level where a simple air release switch automatically deflates the `grabber bag type nozzle`and releases the vehicle. This system is ideal for drive through or reverse in type stations. This is the ONLY system that grabs 100% of the fume emitted from the vehicle. Ideal for smaller support vehicles and ambulances.

Vertical Sliding Rail (VSR) System
This unique product to AES is designed for upward facing stacks on Airport tender type vehicles. A flexible rail is installed at a fixed height just above the bay area. Guide springs allow the track to move left and right upto 600mm and this operation collects the moving vehicle as it approaches the canopy and guides itself into the rail assembly. The exhaust emissions are detected automatically within the rail by small blow sensors mounted within the rail, this tells the extraction fan to run for as long as it can sense exhaust gas flow and for 30 seconds after it has finished sensing flow. It captures 100% of the fume as it is all self contained within the rail. Benefits of this system include that no person has to touch the vehicle either on entry or exit. Can be used for drive through or reverse in type stations.
Magnetic Sliding Rail (MSR)
Magnetic Sliding Rail... A sliding trolley operates within an aluminium extruded rail and is manually connected to an emergency vehicle by means of a simple one handed magnetic switch. When the trolley passed a switch at high level it demagnetises the nozzle away from the exhaust pipe. As the vehicle starts up exhaust emissions are detected by small blow sensors mounted within the rail, this tells the extraction fan to run for as long as it can sense exhaust gas flow and for 30 seconds after it has finished sensing flow. Up to 2no. trollies can be fitted to one track for double lengthed parked emergency vehicles. This system is ideal for drive through or reverse in type stations. This system grabs virtually 100% of the fume emitted from the vehicle.
With all AES systems there is no need for complicated electronics and major structural supports as all systems are tailored to suit any particular station and vehicle fleet.
Spring Recoiled Reels are NOT recommended for this application as they cannot be used as an automatic drive off situation.
