Hi Stewart,
when we discussed humidity previously, Glen in
S.A. mentioned that in diving operations
he'd been involved in a hooker system
successfully controlled humidity using ladies
incontinency pads. Old people get them free over
here in N.Z. & I've ended up with a box
of them left over from my Mums estate. I intend to
use them in some capacity.
Regards Alan

Silica
Gel ? but that would also mean a further reduction of space?

Maybe
the silica gel could be put into a secondary cartridge before the soda lime???

[PSUBS-MAILIST] Humidity control
To
pick up on humidity control in general which you mentioned: This is a
topic which affects a number of things in a sub other than scrubber
performance and it's worthy of its own thread. In a small one or two man
sub powered completely by batteries it seems to be difficult to manage.
I'd be very interested in what anyone has to offer on the
topic. We've had a prior discussion on a portable cooling
unit which would condense some of the cabin
moisture.

In
a submersible, the problem is more easily avoided, since it takes some time
for the cabin air to get close to 100% RH, and there are ways a designer can
condense out or otherwise remove moisture from the cabin air to push it
down.
ABS standard is a relative humidity
between 30 and 70% RH, and this is
probably what you should shoot for.
(50% RH is often quoted as a desirable
target for human comfort in
terrestrial
buildings).
