Second Manned Evaluation of MK Mod 0 Closed Circuit Saturation Diving System.

Abstract

The Mk 14 Mod O Closed Circuit Saturation Diving System was tested using a new type of Manual Exhaust Valve, Safety Exhaust Valve, and Supply Valve during a simulated saturation dive to 1100 feet of sea water at the Navy Experimental Diving Unit. The MK 14 supported a working diver at 1100 FSW with the pump at 1000 FSW while in the normal, closed circuit mode; and at 1000 FSW in the emergency, open circuit mode. Helmet differential pressures were 12.5 + or - 1.6 cm H2O in closed circuit with the diver exercising a pedal mode ergometer at 150 watts, and 18.5 + or - 2.4 mmHg in closed circuit, and 10.0 + or - 2.5 mmHg in open circuit, at 150 watts/
