Dragon Breath, Phase III
Abstract
In this project, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHU/APL) aims to develop a flexible rebreather than can be worn like a vest by military divers inside their dry suit. The new rebreather will also provide extra thermal energy to the divers in order to help their operation in cold water. Therebreather will be also designed and fabricated such that the carbon dioxide scrubbing materials in the rebreather can be regenerated at a high temperature up to 300 ~C without being removed from the rebreather, unlike current rebreather technology which requires replacement scrubbing material after every use. This will provide significant saving in logistics cost. Additionally, JHU/APL will develop an efficient CO2 sorbent that can meet operational requirements across relevant water depths, breathing rates, temperatures, and humidity levels.)
