[PSUBS-MAILIST] Personal_Submersibles Digest, Vol 44, Issue 14

Thu Feb 2 20:21:41 EST 2017

DHello everyone my name is Frank Bowman I live in Tampa Florida I am
currently accumulating parts to build a k250 sub I have loved this model
for years since I saw one on the side of the road in key west! I have
always wanted to build one and I'm finally going to do it! Our bay is only
20feet deep on a good day except for in the sipping channel wich is 43 feet
and much to busy to play in I plan on building the sub to the original
plans that I will be purchasing soon any recommendations on acrylic
thickness for the depth of water I'll be diving in and ideas on hatches
would be greatly appreciated!

I did side-by-side tests on several low-cost ambient CO2 sensors when I was
doing air quality instrumentation work, and I eventually settled on these
units from COZIR.
http://www.co2meter.com/products/cozir-0-2-co2-sensor

They're only about $70US, have built in self calibration, super reliable,
and have very low current draw compared to other sensors. The big rub is
that it isn't analog output, but serial.

You would have to interface it with a microcontroller (which is an easy
enough job with a $20 Arduino) and have it set up to display to an LCD,
trip an alarm at critical levels, possible demand control of the scrubber,
other sensors, etc.

I have an identical system built for the health department currently
running 70 (70!!!) of these sensors and others on battery power across the
city in the elements. They are that good.

I recently found about half of a medical scrubber in a dumpster, so I've
been thinking about life support lately.

That looks good River.
They have a sensor pump kit add on.
http://www.co2meter.com/collections/co2-sensors/
products/gas-sensor-micro-pump
Is this necessary? Does the unit need to be put in an air flow?
I noticed other add ons, like water filter. Any recommendations regarding
required add ons.

Started life with axial scrubber but now use radial design.  Has worked
much better for me.

I have had good performance from this company but with their K30 sensor.
$85 and does give 0-5v analog output signal.  It span is 0-10,000 ppm
(0-2%).
