Hi
Alan, Going to name her Nauti-lass. Chs Hugh
Thanks
for oil suggestions,
I've
bought a few & will play round with them.
Also
thanks to whoever mentioned the book " Oxygen hackers companion" by Vance
Harlow.
I
bought a copy & thought it was a must read for anyone building a sub,
with limited knowlege
Below
is a link to a pdf on co2 absorbant & scrubbers, wich Hugh mentioned &
is a pretty definitive work.
Can psubs pinch
pdfs permanently to post on our site without getting into trouble
???
Have
you got a name for your Comsub 600 Hugh?

Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Oils for oil compensation
That's
very interesting Alan. Let me know how it works out.
On
the oil type, I've heard of guys using vegetable oil, because if it leaks it
won't pollute, and it's thin enough. Olive oil sounds good. I like the idea
of testing it with water in a jar. Good idea. Maybe it would be a good idea
to try several types of oil. There's some type of "di-electric" oil
some one remarked on before, and then the WD40 stuff. How about regular
3-in-1 oil? Or maybe any light oil like 5 weight motor oil. A little bit
leaked out isn't going to pollute anything.
Some
oils will break down plastics like wire insulation or the epoxy "potting" on
armature windings. I don't think vegetable oil would do
that.
How
about some light Hydraulic oil?
Anybody
else got info on this?
