What is the duration of the CO2 Scrubber?
The duration of a Sofnolime fill depends upon factors such as the individual diver’s CO2 production rate, water temperature, work rate and so on. In the recent independent testing for CE certification carried out at the Ministry of Defence Research Establishment, Alverstoke, the Inspiration’s scrubber duration was 3 hours in cold water (4 degrees C). The tests simulated a breathing rate of 40 litres per minute (lpm) RMV, and a CO2 production rate of 1.6 lpm.
