RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] internal airflow

Would it not be the other way around? Exhaled air being warmer would rise,
so you would want the scrubber intake high. Just speculation on my part, I
haven't got to this point yet.

For those of you with 1 atm scrubbed systems, what if any work did you do to
ensure that the flow of air through the cabin maximizes the recirculatory
efficiency?  I'm working on a conceptual design, 
and am thinking of placing the freshly scrubbed air outlets high and the
intake to scrubber low, but I have no idea how to model the airflow.  Do I
even need to worry about this?  Maybe diffusion is fast 
enough to take care of the problem.  Thoughts?
