[PSUBS-MAILIST] O2/ CO2 MONITORING AND SCRUBBER DESIGNS



hi guys
 
    o2 monitoring is easy use Teledyne r-22 or the r17 sensors attached to any small pic controller through an amp board. You need three sensors to get a good polling for a sensor failure. remember that the sub is not cleaned for 100% o2 so don't get crazy with it. remember the Apollo fire. see oxycheq.com for some meter designs. if you can not design  the electronics I will send the boards to you
 
    co2 monitoring, the sensor alone is available for about 100$
 
o2 injection control
    kiss works  here get a flow meter set at .8 liters per min per person will give you most of the o2 you will need with an occasional manual add.
 
scrubber design
 
    one pound of sorb per person per hour, for emergency go to lithium hydroxide blankets. they work better in the cold. they are about 750 per person. check rebreatherworld.com for design ideas.
