THE LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE SEA-BED OBSERVATION LABORATORY,

Abstract

The investigation covers the systems engineering involved with the selection of an optimum life support system for the Sea-Bed Observation Laboratory. The life support system must supply breathing gases, maintain the temperature and humidity within the comfort zone, provide instrumentation for monitoring the atmosphere, and provide an emergency breathing system. The factors of weight, volume, power, safety, reliability and life cycle cost have all been considered in the selection of the optimum components for the life support system. (Author)
