Evaluation of MAKO 9700 High Pressure Breathing Air Compressor

Abstract

In response to reference (1) and as outlined in reference (2) the Navy Experimental (NEDU) tested the MAKO 9700 electrical powered high pressure, breathing air compressor from 26 Dec 89 to 9 Jan, 90. The purpose of this test was to determine if the equipment was suitable for use by the United States Navy (USN) diving community and for adding to the Approved for Navy Use (ANU) procurement List. The MAKO 9700 met manufacturer's specifications for quantity of air produced with a quality which met or exceeded purity standards in reference (3). The design and engineering were determined to be adequate. With the inclusion of the recommendations in section V, the MAKO 9700 compressor is considered suitable for USN requirements for compressors of this size and type.
