Evaluation of BAUER K220 High Pressure Breathing Air Compressor

Abstract

In response to reference (1) and as outlined in reference (2) Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) tested the BAUER K220 high pressure, breathing air compressor from November 14 thru 21, 1989. The purpose of this test was to determine if the equipment was suitable for use by the United States Navy (USN) diving community and if so, added to the Approved for Navy Use (ANU) Procurement List. The BAUER K220 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 was determined to be adequate. With the inclusion of the recommendations in section V the BAUER K220 compressor is considered suitable for USN requirements for compressors of this size and type.
