  2. Diving rebreather - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_rebreather

    As a person breathes, the body consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. Base metabolism requires about 0.25 L/min of oxygen from a breathing rate of about 6 L/min, and a fit person working hard may ventilate at a rate of 95 L/min but will only metabolise about 4 L/min of oxygen [10] The oxygen metabolised is generally about 4% to 5% of the inspired volume at normal atmospheric pressure, or ...

  3. Rebreather diving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebreather_diving

    The feedback of actual oxygen partial pressure measured by the oxygen sensors is compared with the set-points, and if it deviates outside of the limits of upper and lower set-points, the control system will activate a solenoid valve to add oxygen or diluent gas to the loop to correct the oxygen content until it is back within the set-point limits.

  4. Snorkel (swimming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snorkel_(swimming)

    A snorkel is used to allow the user to breathe atmospheric air when their face is immersed in water while swimming or floating at the surface. [1] To work effectively, the snorkel must allow the user to inhale and exhale comfortably over an extended period, and provide a sufficient volume of air with appropriate oxygen and carbon dioxide content to maintain a sufficient and comfortable ...

  5. Atmospheric diving suit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_diving_suit

    The Newtsuit has fully articulated, rotary joints in the arms and legs. These provide high mobility, while remaining largely unaffected by high pressures. An atmospheric diving suit (ADS), or single atmosphere diving suit is a small one-person articulated submersible which resembles a suit of armour, with elaborate pressure joints to allow articulation while maintaining an internal pressure of ...

  6. Swimming pool sanitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swimming_pool_sanitation

    An electrically operated water pump is the prime motivator in recirculating the water from the pool. Water is forced through a filter and then returned to the pool. Using a water pump by itself is often not sufficient to completely sanitize a pool. Commercial and public pool pumps usually run 24 hours a day for the entire operating season of ...

  7. Cold trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_trap

    In vacuum applications, a cold trap is a device that condenses all vapors except the permanent gases (hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen) into a liquid or solid. [ 2 ] [ needs update ] The most common objective is to prevent vapors being evacuated from an experiment from entering a vacuum pump where they would condense and contaminate it.

  8. Oxygenated treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygenated_treatment

    Oxygenated Treatment (Neutral Water Treatment) Oxygenated Treatment (Combined Water Treatment) Feedwater system piping: ferrus or mixed metallurgy (e.g. copper feedwater train) all-ferrous metallurgy: all-ferrous metallurgy: all-ferrous metallurgy Dissolved oxygen level < 10 ppb: 1 to 10 ppb: 30-50 ppb (drum), 30-150 (supercritical)

  9. Surface-supplied diving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface-supplied_diving

    Surface-supplied diver at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Monterey, California US Navy Diver using Kirby Morgan Superlight 37 diving helmet [1]. Surface-supplied diving is a mode of underwater diving using equipment supplied with breathing gas through a diver's umbilical from the surface, either from the shore or from a diving support vessel, sometimes indirectly via a diving bell.
