Dacor Diving Lung Second Evaluation

Abstract

This report covers the evaluation of the Dacor diving Lung Regulator to determine the suitability of the apparatus for use in the Naval service to depths of 200 feet at work rates equivalent to 0.85 knot swimming. For the description of the demand regulator in detail, see Evaluation Report 11-56. The regulator was tested objectively by breathing machine runs and subjectively by depth runs, with instrumentation for respiratory pressure, respiratory minute volume, and breathing rate. Subjective swimming peak tests covered in Evaluation Report 11-56, were not repeated here. Breathing machine and subjective depth runs are summarized as graphs of peak respiratory pressure, respiratory minute volume, and respiratory rate against time.
