Vault life support system

The Vault Life Support System is a type of electro-mechanical system. It is one of the many systems built into the Vault infrastructure. According to the Vault radio of Vault 101, a properly cleaned and maintained life support system can operate for nine hundred years without failure.

A life support system provides for the needs of the Vault residents (air, food, water), maintains a comfortable temperature, and disposes of waste byproducts. Some of the components of the life support system are the heater, water purifier, and the waste incinerator.

The Maintenance Department is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the life support systems.
