Would it be posible to post that letter on here? Then we could print it out to travel with when needed.

Thanks!

Hi Sven,
Try to get hold of " Life Support Systems Design" by nuckols, tucker and sarich. Simon & Schuster custom publishing ISBN 0-536-59616-6
I think it is out of print but it is worth hunting out. lotts of useful data and formulea for any rebreather nurd and worth its weight in Dragersorb for the homebuilder.

Good luck. If you have no joy, drop me a line and I will scan the pages with the theoretical bedlife info.

cheers pockets

Q1) Fill scrubber to one third full, tap the side to settle, Fill to two thirds full, tap the side to settle, repeat step for final third. This is the optimium way to fill Sofnolime. You will get more capacity using a smaller material, please check your equipment is designed to take a smaller material.
Q2) I would suggest that trying to calculate scrubber duration very accurately on your own is dangerous to say the least. There are several variables that are not constant or even certain, C02 output can vary during dive, flow rate can change some of these you may not even be very aware of. Simple answer is no. I will post some more info soon to support this arguement.
Q3) We are chasing the holy grail and do dedicate a lot of time and R&D to achieve this, the likely hood is it will cost more as sodalime is the most cost efficient chemistry out there.
