About this title

Synopsis

When using a closed circuit rebreather (a type of underwater breathing apparatus or UBA) to descend into the depths, your life is dependent on an opaque cylinder containing a chemical absorbent. That absorbent keeps you alive by scavenging toxic carbon dioxide (CO2) from your circulating breath and producing heat. The absorbent’s efficiency may vary tremendously between dives and even during a dive.

The results of U.S. Navy research and testing are finally being revealed so you can see what has long remained hidden inside the hot, caustic confines of a rebreather scrubber. While the enclosed material is technical, it is largely pictorial. You will learn many things about your underwater life support system that have never been disclosed to the public.

BREAKTHROUGH fills the knowledge gap for mathematical and computer modeling of CO2 elimination in underwater breathing apparatus (UBA). The intended audience is every UBA designer or diver interested in a better understanding of scrubber canisters and metabolic CO2 elimination. It introduces the reader to a new form of stochastic modeling using cellular automata to quantify and visualize the complex thermokinetics of the carbon dioxide absorption reactions that keep divers alive during rebreather diving.

This technical monograph provides insights into the hidden chemical and mechanical machinery of rebreather scrubbers, a primary Underwater Life Support System component. The topic is most relevant to the categories of Life Support Systems, Technical Diving, and Rebreather Diving. It also pertains to the categories of Mathematical Modeling and Computer Modeling.
