General information about life jackets:
An inflatable lifejacket is a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) that generates buoyancy through a release mechanism with gas pressure cartridges.
A lifejacket is constructed as follows:
Protective cover:
The protective cover optimally protects the inflatable air chamber and extends the service life of the life jacket.
Inflatable float:
Single-chamber life jacket - The buoyancy is achieved by a floating body (minimum requirement according to EN/ISO).
Two-chamber lifejacket - The buoyancy is achieved by two floating bodies (minimum requirement according to IMO/SOLAS). The double chamber system is designed in this way, that if one chamber is damaged or fails, the other ensures buoyancy as long as the user is in the water.
Trigger mechanism:
The trigger mechanism is required to activate and pierce the cartridge so that gas can flow into and inflate the air chamber.
Automatic release: The vest inflates automatically when touched with water. The air chamber is inflated immediately. If this should not happen, which is very unlikely, the lifejacket can be released manually with the pull rope.
Manual release: The manual release can be operated manually by the user by pulling the pull rope.
CO2 cartridge
When the release mechanism is activated, it pierces the cartridge and releases the CO2 into the air chamber, allowing the float to be inflated to the desired buoyancy class.
