The use of special gas masks such as PAPR is strongly required for the safe and efficient work of fire-fighters in removing fire residue and rescue activity. Special gas masks commonly use canisters with carbon activated particles. This paper analyzed the pressure distribution, velocity distribution and pressure loss characteristics in canisters using CFD simulation, and showed pressure drops are affected by inlet air velocity, canister geometry and increase dramatically especially with the decrease of particle diameters and volume fractions.
