Evaluation of a New, Positive Displacement Mechanical Respirator for Use in the Testing of Breathing Apparatus

Abstract

A "positive displacement" mechanical respirator, designed by the Experimental Diving Unit is described. Its operating characteristics were determined and compared with those of a bellows-type respirator previously used for testing breathing equipment. Recommendations for minor modifications and for the use of the new respirator are made.
