Hi Steve.
Sorry it took so long for me to respond to this
specific post of yours, but I couldn't find my correspondence from the Hydrocap
corp til now.
According to the Hydrocap corp...."as little as 4%
hydrogen in air is considered explosive (69 cubic inches of hydrogen in one
cubic foot of air)"
Some time ago I directly called Mr. George Peroni
president of the hydrocap corp and we had a nice talk over the phone and he sent
me an info
packet of 4 double sided pages regarding his
products. According to George when your batteries are CHARGING, they
create more hydrogen than
oxygen during the first part of the charge, and
during the final part of the charge cycle they give off more oxygen then
hydrogen.
George told me that
the batteries on DIScharge are non stochimetric (I think that means "not the
same" but I've been lazy and haven't looked up the correct spelling
much less definition of what that word exactly
means, grin.) George said that it is a non stochimetric ratio on discharge and
your batteries will give off more hydrogen
than oxygen equally all the way thru on
DIScharge.
The hydrocap corp makes not only hydrocaps but they
also make catylators which are hydrogen/oxygen recombiners but are not attached
to your battery.
Contact Mr. George Peroni pres of the corp at this
number and ask for an info packet that should answer many of your concerns at
(305) 696-2504
The corp is located at 975 N.W. 95 st. Miami, Fl,
33150
I would scan the 8 info packet pages he sent me and
provide you with them, but my scanner is not working properly.
If I save your life as a result of this info, you
owe me a steak! Grin.
Bill Akins.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Hydrogen
Build-up
G-day
all
From
the material I have been reading and what I remember Hydrogen gas is formed in
lead acid batteries when charging and discharging. My understanding is that if
you ventilate the battery compartment with the atmosphere when running on the
surface and the air in the pressure hull when submerged this can stop a BIG
BANG!
Can
anyone suggest the amount of Hydrogen as a % of the Subs atmosphere is
required for an explosion to occur? Is there such a thing as a Hydrogen
Scrubber? Is hydrogen produced more readily when charging or discharging the
batteries?
By
contributing to this string the life you save could be mine.
