How could that work? How would you stop the gas in the inhale CL from flowing to the exhale CL? Pressure difference between those CLs would make the gas flow to the exhale lung. JH
OK, now I see what you're getting at. But, if the hydrostatic head is not so great as my BM CL buddies would have me believe, maybe it would not be enough on it's own to open the flappers? Or maybe it doesn't matter if the flapper valves are open a bit at all times as long as the gas is always moving in the right direction, maybe it would be effortless, hmm.
Or if the DSV had slightly stiffer flapper valves, then maybe the cracking pressure of those valves could be made the same as a loop with CLs on the same side of the body with nice, thin flappers.
I didn't mean to make things more complicated than they were already, maybe I should have left well enough alone, duho!
