Placement of dump valve in Counter lung

MHD · 9th September 2005, 17:45

Working out where to place a constant volume dump valve in my exhalation counter lung. Valve is a apeks standard shoulder dump valve. Looking to place it such that when I am swimming horizontal, it is inverted and parrellel to the ground (basically pointing straight down in that position). Any one had any experience or can see any problems with this configeration?

In this was it can also act a water dump from the counter lung in this position

I should of been a bit more explicit. The counter lungs are back mounted, internal to the unit. Conversion is based on a azimuth body, CL's, scrubber and DSV and hoses (that's all that's left).

hi mhd you need to be carefull of valves that can be depressed to vent as dry suite valves when you have then enclosed in a case, make shore that the valve is clear when the lung is inflated and doesnt get depresed and vent, i fixed my valve so it cant be depressed but still operates by over pressure

i asume your closing an Azi?
kind regards john routley
