KÄRCHER MULTI PURPOSE DECONTAMINATION SYSTEM ( MPDS )
Bio-Hazard Chemical and Biological Decontamination
Main Unit MPDS Technical interactive overview here
Field Shower and many accessories.
The MPDS module is a follow-on development of the NATO high-pressure cleaning and decontamination system “KARCHER HDS 1200 BK which is being used worldwide by more than 40 armed forces, 12 of these appertaining to NATO-countries. Due to modular construction, it is of universal use, either as an independent single unit or incorporated in a more complex system.
The MPDS is used to decontaminate skin and personal equipment, exterior equipment, and interior equipment. The system is currently in service with armed forces in Australia, Austria, Canada, Portugal, Sweden, United Kingdom, U.S., and NATO
Headquarters. The MPDS is equipped with a high-pressure (60 bar) spray system and depending on the decontaminant used, the MPDS may employ either chemical or mechanical technologies. The MPDS is also equipped with a diesel engine, a burner, and a highpressure water pump (maximum suction height of 5 m). Liquid decontaminants can be introduced into the water stream via the
high-pressure pump at a rate up to 60 L/h. For easy usability, all MPDS operations can be controlled using an electrical control
panel. The MPDS can also be used to provide water for showers in the field, steam explosives from munitions, or de-ice aircraft systems. In addition, a sandblasting set is included to allow the removal of corrosion from equipment.
The special burner system is marked by its high heating performance, its simple but fully automatic operation and its environmental features. The burner system operating at reverse current is heated by Diesel fuel. The temperature control regulates the burner. The Diesel consumption is controlled by a circuit system. For water heating, Diesel is injected into the burner. When the burner is out of operation, the Diesel flows back into the fuel can. The burner has a heating performance of 420,000 kJ consuming 11.5 kg Diesel/h. The above-mentioned heating performance is sufficient to increase the water temperature supplied by the high-pressure pump up to 210°C thus being in a position to generate dry steam.
The flame is controlled by a photoelectric monitor. In case the flame extinguishes due to failure, Diesel supply is automatically stopped and the disturbance is indicated at the control board. The main components of the module are integrated in an aluminum frame. These are: driving engine, high-pressure pump, heat exchange unit and control board.
