Per NAVSEA Task Number 88-23, the Paracel Transportable Recompression Chamber System (PTRCS) carbon dioxide (CO2) scrubber was evaluated at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU). The PTRCS is designed to provide emergency hyperbaric treatment capability to highly mobile, lightly supported diving activities. Unlike current U.S. Navy chambers which operate with electrically driven CO2 scrubbers, the PTRCS CO2 scrubber is driven using an air source outside the chamber. An amount of air equivalent to that operating the scrubber must be continuously exhausted from the chamber to maintain depth. The PTRCS CO2 scrubber was evaluated unmanned with established NEDU procedures for canister evaluation. These procedures define the operating characteristics of the canister, independent of the chamber containing it.
