Water in inspiration counterlung

PPA · 5th June 2006, 11:49

Hi

Yesterday i did 2 dives.
The first one was done manually,and during the second i only did drills, bail out ,dill flush and ascend in bail out. I finished the day with 20 bar in my o2 tank ( i started with 90)
Outside temperature was about 34 C and water temp 19C loop temp 26 C.

When i got home i realized that i had a small amount of water in my inspiration counterlung.The canister moisture pads were dry, only the sensors moisture pad was a little wet.
Is that normal?, could it be condensation?, or i did something wrong? Should i be worried about that?
I've already had a problem with water and i my solenoid had to be changed due to corrosion.
Cheers
Pedro

Hey Pedro, this cenario you are explaining, the moisture pads being totally dry and the sensor moister pad a bit wet and some water in inhalation lung, that is what i am getting myself, i am not worried about this at all myself. As i believe this to be humidity!

Mine is always in the exhale lung ? but otherwise agree I would consider it normal as well

I find if I dump from the loop at the mouthpiece a little water gets into the exhale side of the loop

There is more tendency to get water in the exhale lung and more often humidity in the inhale lung as it is the chemilcal proecess that created heat and humidity.

Hi JB

Are you saying that is only condensation?. Air after passing the canister when gets into de inhalation counterlang condensates?. Should i have more condensation using neoprene counterlung then when using cordure counterlungs or no?

Hi Pedro, i usually get two spoons full of water out of my inhale lung after about 2 hours of diving. And that is with my neoprene ones. How much do you get out of yours?

That is not much Pedro, i would not be to concerned about it, check your solenoid regularly for any signs of corrosion, need to call Leon to see if i can use salt-x on solenoid!
