Abstract (en)

This invention relates to air intake units for air compressors and to air compressor assemblies for supplying breathable air. An air intake unit for an air compressor comprises an air chamber having an inlet and an outlet, the outlet being adapted for fluid connection to an air intake of an air compressor; a sensor located at the inlet of the air chamber, the sensor configured to detect the presence of unwanted fluid in an inlet air stream, the sensor having a T90 response time; and means for maintaining a positive pressure within the air chamber, wherein the air chamber is configured such that the time taken for air to flow from the inlet of the air chamber to the outlet of the air chamber is greater than the T90 response time of the sensor.
