295 minutes till break trough on rEvo dual radial :-)

Hi Paul,

The radial scrubbers look great and I like the performance numbers, can't wait to try them out

I do have one question with the design. If I recall correctly, one aspect of the cover was to allow water to drip down the sides of the standard axial scrubber where there is some airspace (insulation) - and this would reduce any water that might enter the scrubber. With the radial design, this air space is critical for the gas path. Do you think water/condensation could potentially collect in this space and get into the scrubber?

Thanks,
Paul

hi Paul: far more easy to let the water drop in the counterlungs, as the space is bigger, and on the exhale side, a small gap is allowed to let water drop into the exhale lung

I love the look of the ease of set up of the revo. - I currently have an inspo with back mounted 7s of 50% and 20/30 for bail out/dil, with a 2 ltr o2 mounted on the side - will the Revo allow larger cylinders to be back mounted rather than the 3 ltrs. (hence avoiding side slings for upto 60,m type diving?)

The carry handle is going to get in the way. if you are comfortable with the electronic ports/breathing hoses being exposed to impact damage then you can fit oms 45 cft tanks like i did, never got that config wet so no trim data available here. I have been thinking there must be a way to fit cam bands to the sides of the revo, which would allow much larger/longer tanks. I would like to be able to have all the tanks on my back too.

This is very cool Paul.

We do back to back 80m dives with just 3L tanks no problem and most of the time have enough gas left over for a 3rd dive. But we also have off-board capability as a back up if it is needed. and if you are venturing into the realm of 15ATA you had better have duel off-board capability O2 and Dill. At that depth 3L is not much Dill or O2. So going off-board is the best solution also gives a gas change if you want to do it. Something that is very easy to do with the rEvo

.

Paul When Curt and Mel order theirs I also want to get a set. So i hope their will be enough to go around.

yeah the other idea i had for all back mount was to use a tiger gear type mount off of the 3l tanks, but im not sure how much weight the connector clips from the revo to the 3l's can take.

i am working on offboard setup, i have one of lance robb's manifolds and im going to use that for bov and wing via a qc maybe ap maybe other. i have some cejn's but im not sure yet. then im going to have one of pauls offboard buttons for o2 into the exhale lung also. with a mix of connectors i can swap types if i need to.

i figure to run two tanks left sided with this config, and maybe more on a sidemount if i get to that kind of depth or time where i need that much bailout.

right now i dont want to do more than 100m or so and with max run times of three hours tops, but i want double the capacity to cover my azz. plus im used to 104's and 80's so revo and 80's works.
