Loop Temp

Steve · 5th March 2006, 08:23

What ambient loop temp readings are guys geting? Yesterday my loop temp was warmer than usual and it started me wondering what people get in really cold and really warm water.

Where are you going to measure the temperature? Scrubber, mouthpeice, etc?

I've measured 50C within the scrubber stack on my Inspiration. I have no idea what the final temperature is at the mouthpeice.

The Meg has ambient and loop temp displays Pete.

The loop seems to run about 10 degrees F higher for me diving in water about 48 degrees.

Mine is about 75 in 68 degree water

I have had 23 degrees Celcius in the loop with 6 degrees water temperature.
That was after walking across the bottom with a big heavy achor..
Normally the loop stays at around 20 ish degrees..
This is measured at the exit of the scrubber on my Classic Inspiration.
I dont know how much the water temperature affects the loop temp, but is probably quite alot.. (I have only dived in cold'ish waters after having been given the posibility of measure the loop temperature.)
Going to the Red Sea i an couple of weeks.. So I guess I will get a chance to see the difference then ...

Cheers,
Lasse

Generally I find my loop temp is 10 deg F warmer than the water. From 86 winter to 96 in Summer.

Cheers
