History What Is PPV?

Committed to Firefighter Safety Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV)

Since 1987, Tempest Technology Corporation has been a leader in the development of innovative ventilation tools
Protecting personnel from hazardous environments is vital. Ventilating smoke,
for fire fighting and industrial work environments. In the beginning, Tempest produced inflator fans for hot air

The technique of Positive Pressure Ventilation (PPV) has revolutionized the way hazardous interior environments
are controlled and ventilated. Whether the structure is a 1,000 square foot home, 30-story building or a mile-long

people who make their living working in hazardous interior environments.

Confined Spaces Aircraft Fires

PPV can ventilate micro-environments, such as tanks,
pipelines and tunnels, by using the massive air velocity
produced by the blower to force out stagnant air and
replace it with fresh, cool air.
PPV offers the fastest and most effective method for
clearing smoke, heat, and gases from passenger and cargo
aircraft. The interior of an aircraft can be ventilated in
just 60 to 90 seconds, improving evacuation procedures
and allowing rescue personnel faster, safer entry.
