presented its ExtendAir cartridge and
scrubber canisters between a pair of rebreathers, an APD Inspiration and an
OMG Azimuth. The latter was the only OMG rebreather I saw as Difesafe, their
US
representative was absent from the show. A shame as I was looking forward to
Nemesis news, which also should have accommodated the scrubber cartridges.
Here you can see the cannister fitted to the Azi, the same one used on the
DiveRite prototype.
Micropore also had info
sheets with a scrubber duration graph. The CO2 concentration in the loop
reaches 0.5% at about 210 minutes. Testing was performed at 40 RMV, 1.35 LPM
CO2 injection, 1 ata and 13 degrees C/55.4 degrees F. |
This are the three
adapter pieces for use of the cartridges with the Inspiration. The
cartridge holders for the top and bottom, both with seals, and a spacer
ring. For Inspiration use no new cannister is required, the three piece kit
replaces the bucket that holds the granules. |
