Fire, smoke, and heat...thats all for this idea as far as I am concerned. Thanks Jay!

The LiOH cartridges are MUCH more expensive with a proportionally extended duration time. As a by-product, they produce a lot of heat. In addition to the downside of the cost, exposure to water makes them flammable/explosive. The other cartridges can be acquired through many SCUBA shops. R/Jay

Just a note...Lithium Hydroxide canisters were aboard my submarine in case of emergencies. I would assume that the navy did extensive research and found these to be the best purchase for the limited space available. Bing brings you maps, menus, and reviews organized in one place. Try it now. |
