Rebreather World - View Single Post - Cold water, heavy current and CCR's...do they mix?

I would find out your personal RMV and CO2 (VO2) at different workloads and compare them to released test data on rebreathers to see how long they will work for you. Remember cold, high breathing rate, high CO2, and depth all cause lower scrubber durations.

Most (infact almost all i've seen) rebreather scrubber duration data is done at a set depth, work rate, and co2 production...all of which will vary throughout the dive.
