Spectroscopic Studies of Nuclear Submarine Atmospheres. II. Infrared Analysis of Major Gaseous Contaminants
Abstract
Infrared spectral analyses have been made of compressed submarine air samples taken aboard the USS SEAWOLF during the cruise covering the period 3-26 November, 1958. The following contaminants were detected in the gross samples, i.e., those on which no preliminary separation of constituents was made: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, water vapor, Freon-12, methane, methyl alcohol, acetylene and nitrous oxide. Each of these contaminants has been measured quantitatively and found to be well below permissible limits. The way in which the concentration of each of these contaminants is effected by the operation of the Desomatic burner is discussed. (Author)
