Handbook of Fluid-Filled, Depth/Pressure-Compensating Systems for Deep Ocean Applications

Abstract

Candidate approaches to depth/pressure-compensating devices and systems for fluid-filled deep submergence equipment are described and analyzed. Current design philosophies and considerations are discussed as well as the physical arrangement of compensating systems. A compensator design scheme and maintenance information have been included to provide guidelines and enumerate system design parameters and ramifications. It is planned that the handbook contents will be periodically revised and updated as 'feedback' information becomes available.
