Rebreather World - View Single Post - KISS Announces Results of Scrubber Duration Testing

As far as I can see, this is only relevant in comparison with another rebreather but gives us no information about diving the s/k. I think there is plenty of empirical data on dives between 50m and 75m on the s/k in 10 -14 degrees C water for durations of an hour that belie the implication here. As Mike said, it is a surprise we are here.

I have been looking at the theoretical scrubber equations and time is highly non-linear in the inputs. So, I think what we conclude is; if you are working really hard, you can over breathe the scrubber and the reaction zone will extend beyond the scrubber -- so, elevated CO2 levels.

It doesn't help us understand diving the unit.

How about 75M, relaxed dive, at 12 degrees? I think the theory should give you about 1.85 hours to breakthrough.
