Re: blowing the sensor with diluant

do think a restrictor is necessary to reduce the flow ti 4 liter minutes ?
is is 4 liter/minutes per sensor or 4 liter/minutes in all ?

It's not that complex as to require any certain flow... I guesses that it was about 4 LPM total across all three cells. All I did was to use small diameter tubing, which naturally limited the flow rate. Even with the BC valve full depressed, the volume was "adequate" but not harmful to the cells. Since the BC inflator valve is able to be squeezed very gently for small flows, the diver can control the flow with ease. Squeeze a little to validate, squeeze harder to dry the cell face. Very intuitive.
