Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Condensation in a psub

[Jon Wallace <jonw@psubs.org>]

Correct, which is why flushing the cabin would only start you with a 
relatively dry atmosphere and not keep it that way.  However, assuming 
the method was somewhat effective it would delay the effects of 
condensation possibly quite well if performed with the sub in the 
water.  You are introducing dry air to the cabin as well as keeping that 
air relatively cool due to the thermal effects of the water.  It's a 
good combination to start out with if it worked, especially for short 
dives in humid climates.
