You have many choices if you're looking for a rebreather which will allow you to breathe in air and water. The IDA71, AP, as well as Closed-circuit rebreathers are just a few of the options. Find out more about these devices. These devices are designed to help you breathe and maintain a healthy EANx mix.
Closed-circuit rebreathers
Closed-circuit respirators are breathing apparatuses for divers and others with a limited supply of air. These devices consist of four basic components: the Head Assembly, the Over Pressure Valve OPV (Bail Out Valve BV (BOV), as well as the Counterlung Assembly. The bottom section contains the water trap and drain.
The closed-circuit rebreather keeps the exhaled gas in a closed loop, where it is refreshed, filtered, and recycled back to the diver. This allows the diver to breathe freely without the risk of toxic gases contaminating the system. The closed circuit system also allows for the diver's to see the oxygen partial pressure. The dive computer can show the diver his maximum dive time, air pressure, depth, and air pressure.
The closed circuit rebreather includes an oxygen control device that is connected with a diluent reservoir. The diluent tank holds a gas block 42. The gas block contains an inlet tube 44 and a feed tube 46. The gas block is connected to the rebreather via a manual add hose that runs 50 feet. The secondary hose connects the rebreather's head 36 to the oxygen control va 28.
IDA71 rebreather
The IDA71 rebreathing machine is used by military divers and marine divers. Rysk, Russia, was responsible for its development. There are currently 71 models. Names are taken from Russian terminology for insulating breath apparatus. The models are made to minimize the simmotstand. They come with an oxygen diluting agent.
The IDA-71 system is similar to the IDA-59 system but is more compact and can be worn on the back. It is compatible to a heavy work helmet and can be integrated into a full dry suit for hazardous environment. The IDA-71 was widely used in heat exchanger inspections in nuclear power plant reactors, as well as in covert military operations.
Its design is very innovative and is one of the most advanced in the world. It allows divers to enjoy a longer dive time. It includes a small oxygen concentrator that allows for the rebreather circuit's to fill before the diver begins diving.
AP rebreather
The AP rebreather lines offer a wide range of options that will suit any budget and diving style. Each model is customizable with the possibility to choose between 3 different chassis sizes and 5 different harness sizes. There are also two different scrubber lengths. The AP line is also designed with comfort and versatility in mind, with options for multiple upgrade options that can make the rebreather even more comfortable and convenient to use.
AP Diving has been in business for more than 45 years. Their goal is excellence in all that they do. AP Diving is committed to education and support of technical and recreational divers. Their rebreathers have a unique design and manufacturing process that allows them to ensure quality and consistency. The company also manufactures a complete dive machine, including tanks as well as BCDs and tempstiks.
The AP rebreather features adjustable flow orifices, which enable divers to regulate the flow of air while diving. The AP rebreather will adjust to any fluctuations of oxygen partial pressure in the diving circuit. Additionally, the rebreathers weigh less, so divers can carry them around easier.
