Info:
Principle:
Military underwater vehicles are generally used where long durations are
required. The Oxymix breathing system allows the vehicle’s crew to
undertake an extended passage at medium depth while breathing mixed gas.
According to the mixture used, the system also allows excursions to
greater depths. The equipment is installed aboard the vehicle n
accordance with the constructor’s specification and the user’s
requirements.
Special features:
This onboard breathing system offers long duration together with a
variety of connection possibilities according to the intended use. It
allows the crew to alternate between their self-contained set and the
on-board system, effectively increasing the duration of both these
systems. Each gas supply is independent of the other, and each crew
member has his own independent supplies.
Performance:
The
conditions of the passage are determined by operational requirements,
but generally it is found that a running depth of 5 to 7 metres offers
the best compromise between discretion and economy of the breathing gas. |
|
|
Description:
The Oxymix system is made up of two
units, chest and back mounted. The chest unit is common and represents
the breathing apparatus. The back unit is available in two versions:
-X1 version for a limited duration
based on a submersible carrying an onboard supply. It consists of 4
cylinders of 0,6 litres
-3C for a dive of longer duration. It consists of 3 cylinders of 2,0
litres. |
