[PSUBS-MAILIST] Ballast air

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

That would be ideal, but if my sub was filling with smoke...I would be heading for the surface as hard as it would go.  A little OP wouldn't hurt, the hatch would open real easy.  :-)

 For emergencies,
 wouldn’t you use a full-face mask connected to a CO2
 scrubber and air filter and pure oxygen, all on
 the inhale side...
 
 Compressed scuba air would increase cabin
 pressure and make things
 uncomfortable...

 Brian,
 I
 don't mean oxygen, I mean  regular scuba air.  I have
 and am sure all
 other subs have scuba
 breathing apparatus for emergencies like smoke.  I
 take air from my ballast supply for that
 purpose.  If your ballast air is
 Nitrogen
 then you will need an extra tank for emergency breathing.

  Yes, my oxygen will be
 a separate
  tank, or tanks.

  Brian,
  You
 must be planning to have a separate tank for emergency  air
 for
 breathing, in case of fire etc.

   I'm planning
 on having
   3 - 300cu ft air cylinders for
 my ballast supply air.
   I noticed that if
 I get them filled with nitrogen it is
  
 cheaper than getting breathing or industrial air
   !   That is, until I get my own
   compressor. Brian
