M1A1 Series Tank Main NBC System.
The four crew outlets receive approximately
18 cfm of
filtered air for their protective masks and
air cooled
vests.
The crew compartment bulk dump receives approximately 128
cfm of filtered air to create a positive pressure in the
crew compartment. The positive pressure keeps contaminated
air out and forces the smoke produced from firing the main
or coax guns out.
