Carbon dioxide absorbent materials and canister
configurations in submersibles and other diving
equipment have been studied for many years (1, 2, 3).
The scrubber performance varies with absorbent granule
size, porosity, carbon dioxide concentration, gas flow
rate and canister configuration (1, 4, 5, 6). A
scrubber is normally required to undergo a performance
test prior to its use to determine expected life span
at various environmental conditions (7, 8, 9). The
test based on the scrubber breakthrough time does not
provide either the actual absorbent conversion
efficiencies nor the gas flow pathways inside the
canister. This test is also very time consuming and
requires sophisticated equipment. This paper
' describes a gasometric device which acidifies the
carbonate from exhausted absorbents and measures the
amount of co2 released from absorbing agents. Florida Atlantic University.
