High or Low Pressure Compressors Drive All Ship’s Air Needs
Compressed air can have many uses on a boat. Brownie’s is the largest supplier of compressed air systems for diving purposes – but why stop
there? The compressor that supplies air to divers can also infl ate fenders, open doors, blow air horns, fl ush toilets and more...
Effi cient use of compressed air starts with the boat’s plans. Our engineering department will work with your boat builder to design the most
effi cient use of your machinery; providing the most performance while saving valuable space.
Proper integration involves an assessment of the entire boat’s air needs – above and below the water’s surface. We design each system specifi cally
to the unique requirements of each customer.

Low Pressure Compressors EC1/EC2
Our EC boat compressors reliably provide large volumes of breathing quality air with automated performance - turning on when needed and turning off when the need is satisfi ed. Our compressors feature wash-down quality Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled electric motors with effi cient Direct Drive compressor assemblies, in either single or dual head compressor confi gurations. Incoming air is pulled through the dry-top snorkel, or a remote intake snorkel can be installed to pull air from a fresh air source.
Our EC compressors are available in 12vdc, 24vdc, 115vac and 230vac (50 or 60Hz) versions to suit almost any installation. The EC1-12vdc is also available as a self-contained system in a dry box with a power supply adaptor/cord for access to boat-mounted batteries
Compressor output is typically routed to an accumulator bottle to reduce excessive compressor cycling. From there, hoses can be routed to the boat’s exterior for diving or to any of various internal locations for other applications. other applications. other applications.

Refrigerated DryerTropical air can hold tremendous amounts of moisture - moisture that can clog or drastically diminish the life of fi lter cartridges and ruin air-driven tools. Installing a refrigerated dryer in the system downstream of the low-pressure compressor will remove harmful humidity and extend the life of your air components. Models are sized to match the air volume of your system. Operation is virtually silent. Models available in 115vac and 230vac (50 or 60Hz). Cabinet standard fi nish is painted marine white; pictured with optional stainless steel panel upgrade.

Part of the joy of boating is exploring the beautiful waters below, but let’s face it, scuba equipment is heavy, cumbersome and takes up a bunch of valuable room on your boat.
Imagine stowing all the gear you need for 2-4 divers in a single gear bag – no more heavy lifting to get tanks stowed – no more cracked gel coat – no more saying “Look at that! I wish we had brought the scuba gear with us.”
An electric boat compressor from Brownie’s allows you to jump in the water at a moments notice. Simply snap on the hose connections and fl ip the switch. You’re in the water in a fl ash. Getting out of the water is even easier without scuba tanks on your back. Just take off your fi ns and climb on board as if you were snorkeling.
Brownie’s boat systems are available in a variety of electric systems to suit almost any boat: 12vdc and 24vdc compressors for boats with only battery power, 115vac and 230vac compressors for boats with generator power. See page 54 for model details.

HIGH PRESSURE STORAGE/CASCADE SYSTEMS
Brownie’s designs storage systems for air, oxygen, nitrox, helium or any other specialized
gas needed on your vessel. Valves, regulators, plumbing and rack construction requirements
are all taken into consideration at the earliest stages of the process. The result is a system
integrated into your vessel.
Storing large volumes of air, nitrox or other gas allows you to fi ll your scuba or fi refi ghting
scba tanks much more quickly and effi ciently than fi lling directly from the compressor. For
instance, fi lling 4 standard scuba tanks on our YP55 system would take approximately 52
minutes. By contrast, fi lling the same 4 cylinders from a cascade system would take less than
5 minutes. This is especially important for fi refi ghting considerations.

34 W W W . T A N K F I L L . C O M 3534
In addition to traditional scuba tanks, many vessels also carry scba bottles for fi refi ghting apparatus.
Your Brownie’s Yacht Pro™ compressor can perform double duty by also fi lling scba bottles. Care
should be taken to verify tanks are only fi lled to their rated pressure. A specialized fi ll panel can
easily be added to any compressor system, simplifying the fi lling operation and reducing confusion.
Scuba, SCBA & Ship’s Air
Adjustable Fill PanelOutput pressure can be precisely adjusted to suit the cylinders being fi lled. Output from zero psi to the maximum pressure supplied by your compressor. The single gauge shows supply pressure from the compressor or storage bank.
Remote Fill PanelPlace a remote fi ll panel in the lazzarette, near the swim platform, in the cockpit, or wherever convenience dictates. Now you can control your compressor and fi ll system without running below. Features fl ow control valve and stainless steel high-pressure quick disconnect.
Fireman Fill StationSpecialized SCBA fi ll stations
can be installed and plumbed
in the most strategic

SCUBA/BA Fill PanelAvailable to be placed locally
or remotely, this panel allows
the fi lling of both SCUBA and
SCBA (BA) cylinders without
the need for manually
adjusting pressures. Preset
regulators and differing fi ll
outlets minimize the risk
of overfi lling and increase
safety. The SCUBA outlet is
regulated with a maximum

NITROXMAKER™ SERIES
Nitrox with Triox OptionBrownie’s NitroxMaker™ is an easy-to-use nitrox station designed specifi cally for yachts. This system is capable of producing and analyzing nitrox
mixtures from 21%-40% with the turn of a dial. Simply choose the appropriate mixture and the NitroxMaker™ produces the gas using a high-
effi ciency semi-permeable membrane system that operates at a remarkably low temperature. This method of nitrox production eliminates the
need to carry bulky and potentially hazardous cylinders of pure oxygen onboard. Additionally, by utilizing a membrane that does not require
high-temperature heating for stabilization or effi ciency, potential damage to the high-pressure compressor is avoided. The NitroxMaker™ can be
integrated with the medium duty YachtPro™ 45 and the full line of heavy duty Yacht Pro™ compressors. This makes nitrox generation available to
a wide range of vessel sizes and confi gurations.

36 W W W . T A N K F I L L . C O M 3736
Storage Bottles/Banks are high-capacity tanks designed for storing large volumes of gas including air, nitrox, trimix and helium.
The Fill Control Panel directs the fl ow gas from the high-pressure compressor to storage bottles and/or fi ll whips. Precise controls allow for effi cient “cascade fi lling” of tanks (see chart on page 33).
The High Pressure Compressor pumps either ambient air or nitrox from the NitroxMakerTM
up to 5000 psi for use in scuba tanks and air storage systems.
The NitroxMakerTM Cabinet is where the operator designates a desired nitrox mixture up to 40%. Clean air from the LP compressor is converted into nitrox, analyzed and displayed digitally to ensure accuracy.
The Refrigerated Dryer/Filter removes impurities and moisture to ensure only the highest quality air fl ows through the system to the NitroxMakerTM.
The Rotary Screw Low-Pressure Compressor provides the gas that will fl ow through the NitroxMakerTM. It is precisely matched to the size of the HP compressor and is capable of providing ship’s air for other applications if necessary.
The Low-Pressure Air Storage Tank provides the volume of LP air necessary to drive and maintain the needed pressure for the NitroxMakerTM.

ENGINEERING, DESIGN & INTEGRATION SERVICES
2D & 3D Engineering
Today’s dive systems are an integrated part of the yacht itself; therefore, the best result may only be achieved if the plans for them are
included during the beginning concept portion of the project. To accomplish this, our staff reviews the basic diving goals provided by each
customer and suggests an effi cient, functional allocation of space for consideration during the “general arrangement” plan.
After basic spaces are marked for Ship’s Air, dive systems and support, we produce a 3D rendering depicting the placement of essential
items. The primary objectives of this phase are feasibility, ergonomics and appearance. Once completed the 2D mechanical drawings are
then provided to the builder so they may supply the necessary electrical, cooling and foundation resources. Meanwhile, Brownie’s produces
and tests the equipment. Upon completion, shipment and installation activities are coordinated with the builder. On custom projects a
Brownie’s representative can be made available for start-up, use and maintenance training.
The combined talents at Brownie’s provide the resources and experience necessary to design, engineer and produce the goal-specifi ed dive
system. Whether a basic tankfi ll system, built-in hookah or a full dive locker complete with nitrox, mixed gas and recompression chamber
support are desired, a design package will ensure a reliable, anticipated and satisfactory outcome.

Our Mixed Gas Panels neatly organize a full array of diving gases (Air, Oxygen, Helium and Nitrox) for trained explorers to fi ll the wide range of diving and decompression gases required to accomplish longer and deeper technical dives. Color coded fl ow lines and clear labeling aid comprehension and minimize confusion.
ADVANCED GAS MIXES
Air, Nitrox, Trimix & More
Like the snow boarder heading to virgin powder in
a helicopter, technical diving promises an escape
from the touristy dive spots and the chance to
explore where few others have gone. Technical
diving requires advanced, specialized training.
Divers trained in advanced diving techniques
recognize the importance of using accurate,
reliable equipment to provide their life sustaining
gases. When quality is critical, make sure you
are dealing with professionals who have the
knowledge, experience and ability to deliver
the tools you will depend upon. Brownie’s has
designed, manufactured and installed the
largest mixed gas systems ever placed on private
yachts - including oxygen generation, nitrox
generation, exotic gas blending, submarine
integration and support and emergency
recompression facilities. You make the dream -
we provide the stepping stones to get you there.

HOSES & HOSE KITS
Kayak Diving Hose Kits With Brownie’s Kayak Diving Hose Kits you can leave your tank topside and move about freely and effortlessly as the hose glides behind you - out of sight and out of mind. So many different applications and confi gurations make our Hoses and Kayak Diving Hose Kits a MUST! Our proprietary Quick Release Swivel (QRS) fi ttings greatly reduce hose kinks while diving and also make it a snap to add or subtract hose sections. Each Brownie’s Kayak Hose Kit includes 3 sections of hose and a tow belt!

Main hose lengths are available in 20, 40,
60, 100, and 150 feet. The kit replaces the
hose on your scuba regulator. Want to
do some conventional diving on scuba?
There’s no need to unscrew the kit from
your first and second stages; simply
remove the main hose length. The whole
operation takes less than 10 seconds.

THIRD LUNG ACCESSORIES
Drop Weight Cummerbelt™, Egressor™ System & Bags
Drop Weight Cummerbelt™ - a Brownie’s exclusive!More than just a tow belt . More than
just a weight belt. Brownie’s Drop Weight
Cummerbelts™ (patented) are included in
hookah system packages and can change the
way you dive. It’s instantly adjustable for waist
sizes from 24 to 54 inches, so it can fi t everyone
in the family. It has 2 pockets - each capable
of holding up to 10 pounds of lead block or
shot pouches. Each pocket can be instantly
released by either hand while still retaining
the belt. And you always stay connected to
your air hose and the surface.
Egressor™ SystemAll divers are taught to carry a secondary air source in case of
emergency, and hookah diving is no different. We recommend
that all divers carry enough air to make a safe ascent at any
time. It’s also perfect for quick response to items dropped
over-board, verfying anchor location, hull inspection, prop
clearing, pool maintenance, and much more!
