3 PURPOSE AND SCOPE This document describes the test method and results of scrubber endurance trials carried out by Deep Life Limited to assess the effect of small variations in temperature on the scrubber endurance. The variations considered are:. Reference test under standard conditions defined in EN44 and NORSOK U-0. Effect of reducing the ambient water temperature from 4C to C. Effect of reducing the exhaled gas temperature from C to C 4. Effect of performing two dives with an interval of 8 hours without changing the scrubber rotation, and assuming the dives have a low exhaled gas temperature.. Effect of adopting a horizontal position instead of a vertical position in very cold ambient water (C) All tests were done at 40msw, using the.6 lpm flow rate specified as one of the tests in NORSOK U-0 and the only test condition in EN44:00. Tests were stopped at a PPCO corrected to surface pressure of at least kpa: the NORSOK U-0 maximum permitted CO level, to ensure the curve is gradual and continuous. DL generally rate scrubbers to the kpa limit permitted in NORSOK U-0, as this limit is free of symptoms for normal diving over the short duration this spike occurs. The scrubbers are tested inside the single scrubber Open Revolution rebreather (Sample ). TEST STRUCTURE AND PARAMETERS The tests use the following equipment:. Single scrubber Open Revolution rebreather, fitted with scrubber health monitor ( temperatures measured axially along the scrubber) and RH sensor immediately prior to scrubber.. Deep Life Breathing Machine A, fitted with humidifier. Matlab data capture system mm diameter chamber working pressure to 000msw, with refrigeration. 60mm diameter chamber rated to 00msw for calibration purposes. 6. Chamber refrigeration cooling system, computer controlled. 7. Supply of compressed gases including air, pure carbon dioxide and nitrogen. 8. Pressure, CO, temperature and humidity sensors 9. Mass flow control valve 0. Fresh Micropore EAC scrubbers are required for each test run. The scrubbers were the mm Micropore EACs, with large internal bore, of a batch marked Use by February Scales to weigh the CO cylinder before and after each test to confirm that the correct amount of CO is injected. The smallest cylinder that can provide sufficient CO for the test is a 0 litre cylinder for a single cartridge: the test requires 9. litre calculated as (.6lpm_of_MR x (0min_of_test+0_min_of_reserve)) / (4bar_of_start_pressure 0bar_of_end_pressure). The weight of a 0 litre cylinder is kg. The weight of the gas used for the 0 min test is 47 g (as.6l/m x 0 DV_OR_ScrubberEndurance_084.doc Rev C Page of 4
4 min x.97 g/l). This check is only a gross check: it is not a calibration check because it would require a balance with 0 kg range and g or 0.0% accuracy to measure the amount of CO weigh with % accuracy. Note: the pressure of the remaining CO is monitored, with correction for temperature. The maximum pressure of CO against temperature is shown in Figure -. This plot is derived from the CO pressure temperature phase diagram shown in Figure - 6 Pressure - Temperature phase diagram for CO 60 Pressure, atm formula table data Figure -.

5 The CE EN44:00 and the comparable NORSOK U-0 test, specify the following test conditions:. Depth/ambient pressure is 40 msw / bar. Water temperature is 4+/-C or less. Diluent gas is Nitrogen 4. Carbon dioxide injection rate is.6 lpm. Breathing simulator rate is 40 lpm 6. Breathing frequency is 0 min- As for EN44:00, NORSOK U-0 the scrubber endurance is stated for the PPCO being less than mbar shown in Figure - and less than the warning levels of 8 mbar and 0 mbar shown in Figure -4. PPCO, mbar Endurance Time Figure -. Scrubber endurance as defined in EN44:00. The 0. kpa is a very low level. DL generally uses the NORSOK limits which are compared below.

6 Exhale flow is separated from the breathing cycle by sampling the gas line at the diver s lips (using a dummy mouthpiece bite), and switching it using a solenoid which is open during exhale cycles. The exhale cycle is synchronized with the breathing machine without any delay. Before testing the mass flow control valve used for CO injection has been set for.6 lpm flow rate under the valve input pressure of 0 bar, which has been calibrated: a DV report is available. A flow metre provides a further measure to monitor flow levels. The test fixture used for scrubber endurance tests is shown in Figure -. All operations of the test fixture other than connecting gases, are computer controlled and logged. DV_OR_ScrubberEndurance_084.doc Rev C Page 6 of 4

8 CALIBRATION AND EQUIPMENT The calibration of the response of the CO sensor was a complex process, as it involved confirming that it can provide a 0ms response. Due to the extensive nature of those calibrations, a detailed calibration report and equipment description has been produced for these tests, in DV_CO_Cal_080.pdf This report is summarised below. This calibration process forms the bulk of the separate calibration report. It is noted that the mixing that occurs in the sampling line will reduce the effective response time. The calibration of the instruments used in the tests are managed within the normal QA controls, except for the flow and CO sensors, which are critical to the scrubber endurance tests, so is quad checked using the process describe below and then further audited using a fifth method, as well as having tests carried out at an independent laboratory. The volume of CO injected from the cylinder is verified by the use of four methods (that is, by using all four methods each time to ensure there is no significant error):. By the change in the weight of the CO cylinder,. By the cylinder pressure. As a reference the temperature of CO inside the cylinder is calculated using the measured pressure and the pressure-temperature phase diagram shown in Figure -.. By oxygen trace gases. The CO is mixed with air, such that a bleed measurement gas can be taken from the device under test without reducing the pressure in the chamber. The bleed causes a reduction in PPO which should be compensated almost exactly by the injected O, if the injection rate is correct. To check this, the PPO of the loop is monitored. The flow from the bleed line is monitored: this should be between 0.08 and 0. lpm. 4. By the period during which there is a CO flow at a constant rate: this is the primary method used to set the amount of CO dosed into the scrubber. The accuracy this method depends on the accuracy of the CO flow through the mass flow controller. The controller is calibrated using a.6 lpm test flow at STPD (7ºK, i.e. 0ºC, and atm). At room temperature a temperature correction must be used as shown in Figure -. Figure -. CO flow calibration. DV_OR_ScrubberEndurance_084.doc Rev C Page 8 of 4
9 The flow sensor output is checked by filling a known volume with gas, by displacement of water. The flow rate is proportional to the change in volume over a fixed time interval. The calibration of the flow sensor found it had a different reading if vertical compared to horizontal. It was calibrated in the position used for the appropriate test. Calibration data is held on SVN. A post-test audit was carried out by requesting the reading from the CO sensor immediately prior to the scrubber, and confirming that the sum of the inhaled PPCO and the injected PPCO is shown on that sensor. All sensor data was stored for the entire sequence of these tests. 4 TEST RESULTS 4.

From other testing, DL know that interrupting the test seems to extend the scrubber life. This is particularly the case if the scrubber is rotated about its axis by 80 degrees. This test in cold conditions did not rotate the scrubber, but simply ran two dives with an 8 hour interval between them. To recreate the worst possible diving conditions, the exhale gas temperature was reduced from the usual C to 7C for the first dive, and C for the second dive. During the first stage air is used as a diluent gas, the heater of the exhale gas is off. During the second stage the pure nitrogen fills the breathing loop to compensate the ambient pressure, the heater of the exhale gas is on. The power of the breathing gas heating is 6W as 4V^/ohm/ to achieve C. The first stage of the test includes the following steps.. Run Re-Br. Close chamber. Fill chamber via the breathing loop by air up to bar absolute pressure (40 msw) 4. Apply CO of.6 lpm via the mass control valve to BM. Open CO measuring channel to set the flow rate of ~0.6 lpm.

Reducing the exhaled gas temperature from C to C The power of the breathing gas heating was set to W (4V^/ohm), to achieve a desired breathing gas temperature of C. This is to assess the effect of additional gas cooling from the diver, due to longer hoses, narrower hoses or stainless steel hoses. The test includes the following steps.. Run Re-Br. Close chamber. Fill chamber via the breathing loop by air up to bar absolute pressure (40 msw) 4. Apply CO of.6 lpm via the mass control valve to BM. Open CO measuring channel to set the flow rate of ~0.6 lpm.

Humidity in the breathing machine and the rebreather against time.. MAXIMUM INHALED CO LIMITS There is a problem that some standards define CO breakthrough at such a low level that there are no symptoms, so divers do not treat the figure seriously and go onto exceed scrubber durations without having any good data points on what the limit actually is. For example, EN44:00 defines a maximum inhaled CO limit of 0.kPa: the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration advise that average exposure for healthy adults during an eight-hour work day should not exceed 0.kPa. As a scrubber breakthrough figure this is just not meaningful. For exposure up to 0 minutes, the U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) limit is kpa. NORSOK U0:999 takes a more pragmatic and sensible approach, giving a limit of kpa generally, and for short periods kpa. A scrubber breakthrough event is a short period, so the limit on scrubber endurance of a kpa breakthrough should be one that divers can accept. The kpa limit is used by Deep Life Ltd. For certification purposes, the 0. kpa and.0 kpa 6 CORRELATION WITH THIRD PARTY TEST RESULTS Tests were carried out by Micropore at their Newark facility using a dumb head (i.e. single scrubber Open Safety Apocalypse version of the rebreather) and these correlate to within 4 minutes of the times measured by Deep Life at the 0. kpa calibration point used by Micropore, with 4C +/-.C water and the rebreather in the vertical position, at 0 fsw.

39 7 CONCLUSION The table below tablulates the test results. Using the NORSOK U-0 kpa limit, the scrubber life in 4C of hours 4 mins seems to be a reliable figure that is lost only if the exhale temperature reduces excessively. There is no loss in performance from an interrupt of 8 hours between two dives: in fact, it is in line with other test results showing the scrubber performance improves slightly. Table.

40 two test stages Vertical reduced exhale temperature. 80/ Horizontal std to cold test (first test). 6 77/ nd std horizontal test / rd std horizontal test The NORSOK U-0 kpa limit that is a practical limit for divers, is hours 4 minutes. This is extended by around 0 minutes when the diver is horizontal. There is a small spread of results, so for conservatism, the manufacture will state the duration of the scrubber is hours minutes at 40msw, with a 40lpm RMV, using air as the diluent. The reduction of the water temperature to C does not cause a statistically significant change in the duration. A reduction in the exhale temperature does reduce the scrubber duration substantially. This underlines the importance of the biased counterlungs, and large bore diameters in the Open Revolution rebreathers to prevent gas cooling from the diver to the scrubber. From other tests, there is no difference in scrubber duration between the instrumented eccr head used for the Apollo Incursion and the dumb head used for the Open Safety Apocalypse rebreather product. The dual scrubber rebreather in the Open Revolution series used for the Bell Diver and Cave Diver products is the subject of a separate report. DV_OR_ScrubberEndurance_084.doc Rev C Page 40 of 4
