| Abstract |
Description of this new piece of equipment, designed by Battelle for the U.S. Navy for transport by small craft with limited space. The chamber may be operated employing an open or a semi-closed circuit, both of which are described. Other points dealt with are: CO2 removal, chemical scrubbing operations, considerations governing the choice of power for atmosphere circulation (gas ejector), and configuration of the chamber. The advantages and disadvantages of compressors, pressurised containers, cryogenically stored gas, and chemically generated gases as sources of gas are briefly discussed. As built, the system permits pressurisation to 50m and 2-h operation with two 2.5m3 SCUBA bottles, and 5 more hours' operation with a second pair of bottles. In view of the short period of occupancy, no medical lock is provided. |
