Accelerated Decompression Using Oxygen for Submarine Rescue - Summary Report and Operational Guidance

摘要: Abstract : In certain situations, a disabled submarine could become internally pressurized due to flooding, leakage of compressed gas supplies, or use auxiliary breathing systems. This result in the survivors being saturated with nitrogen at elevated pressures. Efficient rescue requires that crew members be decompressed more rapidly than current procedures on air allow. NEDU has investigated ability oxygen accelerate decompression following saturation nitrogen-oxygen. Initial attempts resulted an unexpectedly high incidence severe sickness. Subsequent schedules including period isobaric (pre-breathing) shorter total ascent time were significantly better staged comparable length. Pre- oxygen, nitrogen-oxygen mixtures, is effective strategy. report summarizes experiments and presents for emergency rescue.
