Abstract

In response to NAVSEA tasking, Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU) evaluated the BAUER K-20 Diesel Drive High Pressure Breathing Air Compressor from Oct 13, 1993 to Nov 02, 1993. This test was to determine if the compressor system, when operating at 5000 PSI, met Navy diving community requirements. Based on the test results NEDU recommends that the compressor not be placed on the Approved for Navy Use list published by NAVSEA OOC. BAUER K-20 diesel drive high pressure breathing air compressor.
