Document #050614001 5 M-48 SuperMask User Guide Introduction Congratulations for choosing the Kirby Morgan SuperMask®. The SuperMask represents years of development and testing. Development of this mask could not have been possible without the help of the diving com- munity as a whole. The original goal was to develop a modular full-face mask that could offer greater comfort and safety to divers using self-contained breathing apparatus. When the mask is used with a rebreather, it is normally used with a DSV (Dive Surface Valve), which you may also hear referred to as the rebreather’s “mouthpiece.” Dive Surface Valves are mechanisms that contain the shut off valve that connects the inlet and exhaust hoses on a rebreather. The mouthpiece for the diver normally connects to the DSV using a cable tie. The mouthpiece mounting tube is where the DSV interfaces with the M-48 mouthpiece pod. The SuperMask, was designed for use with rebreathers, as well as open circuit SCUBA, and lightweight umbilical supply. The SuperMask has been tested and certified by Dive Lab Inc. Configuration in both open and closed circuit mode have been tested and approved for use by U.S. military organizations KMDSI will continue to develop the mask as well as additional pods and accessories. Users should routinely check the KMDSI web page for additional information. Questions on the use and care of this mask should be addressed to Kirby Morgan Dive Systems Inc. Telephone 805-928-7772 or e-mail at www.kirbymorgan.com or Dive Lab Inc, Telephone 850-235- 2715 or e-mail at www.divelab.com. DANGER Kirby Morgan Dive Systems, Inc., cannot guaran- tee the diver protection from contaminants when using the SuperMask in waters that are biological- ly, chemically or radioactively polluted. Radioac- tive, chemical, and biological contaminants can cause serious, permanent bodily harm or death to the user. While the SuperMask can minimize and help re- duce the risks associated with the exposure to certain waterborne chemical and biological con- tamination, it cannot protect the user in all situa- tions or against all contaminants. 6 © 2005 KMDSI. All rights reserved. Document #050614001 M-48 SuperMask User Guide WARNING Not all SCUBA regulators or rebreather DSV’s (mouthpiec- es) will fit the M-48 mouth pod. The size of the mouthpiece mounting tube as well as the placement and size of the ex- haust tee can affect the mounting and proper functioning of the mouthpiece and folding action on the pod bellows. Additionally, it is extremely important that the demand reg- ulator or DSV being fitted does not have any sharp edges that could cut the pod skirt or mouthpiece orifice. The SCUBA regulator or DSV must not interfere with the fit of the mask, and all components must be fully functional. Do not use any component with the mask or pod if the com- ponent or mask functions are compromised in any way. WARNING Use only mouthpieces with the appropriate dimensions and characteristics for the M-48 mask pod and the breath- ing apparatus you have selected. Use of other mouthpieces may cause an insecure fit which could lead to separation of the mouthpiece from the pod, resulting in a flooded pod and drowning. WARNING Diving this mask in water containing concentrations of pe- troleum based chemicals could cause degradation of the components of the mask. Clean the mask using only a so- lution of one (1) tablespoon of a mild hand dish washing detergent, such as Joy ™ or Palmolive ™, to one gallon of water. WARNING Cold Water Diving (water Temperatures below 450F or 100C) requires specialized training and equipment. Do not at- tempt diving in cold water unless you are properly trained and equipped for this type of specialized diving. © 2005 KMDSI. All rights reserved. Document #050614001 7 M-48 SuperMask User Guide WARNING The SuperMask is NOT equipped with a one-way valve (non-return valve) for surface-supplied diving. When using the mask for surface-supplied diving it must be used with the KMDSI manifold block KMDSI PN# 300-150 or 300-155 and a suitable harness and emergency gas supply system. Without the non-return valve, the diver could be subject to a “squeeze” if the umbilical supply is severed.

  • Hypothermia and Respiratory Heat Loss While Scuba Diving
    HYPOTHERMIA AND RESPIRATORY HEAT LOSS WHILE SCUBA DIVING Kateřina Kozáková Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, Charles University in Prague, Department of Biomedical Labo- ratory Abstract One of the factors affecting length of stay under water of a diver is heat comfort. During scuba diving there is an increased risk of hypothermia. Hypothermia is one of the most life threatening factors of a diver and significantly affects his performance. The body heat loss runs by different mechanisms. One of them is the respiratory mechanism, which is often overlooked. Compressed dry air or other media is coming out from the cylinder, which have to be heated and humidified to a suitable value. Thus the organism loses body heat and consequently energy. Based on literature search the article will describe safe dive time in terms of hypo- thermia in connection to respiratory heat loss. Key words: hypothermia, heat loss, respiration, scuba diving, water environment Souhrn Jedním z faktorů ovlivňujících délku pobytu potápěče pod vodou je tepelný komfort. Během výkonu přístro- jového potápění hrozí zvýšené riziko hypotermie. Hypotermie představuje jedno z nejzávažnějších ohrožení života potápěče a zásadně ovlivňuje jeho výkon. Ke ztrátám tělesného tepla dochází různými mechanismy. Jednou cestou tepelných ztrát je ztráta tepla dýcháním, která je často opomíjená. Z potápěčského přístroje vychází suchý stlačený vzduch nebo jiné médium, který je třeba při dýchání ohřát a zvlhčit na potřebnou hodnotu. Tím organismus ztrácí tělesné teplo a potažmo energii. Tento článek, na základě literární rešerše, popíše bezpečnou dobou ponoru z hlediska hypotermie a v souvislosti se ztrátou tepla dýcháním. Klíčová slova: hypotermie, ztráta tepla, dýchání, přístrojové potápění, vodní prostředí Introduction amount of body heat.

For example, pressure regulators are The Basics of Pressure Regulators used in gas grills to regulate propane, in home heating furnaces to regulate natural gas, in medical and dental equipment to regulate Material oxygen and anesthesia gases, in pneumatic automation systems Fluid used (gas, liquid, toxic or flammable) Temperature to regulate compressed air, in engines to regulate fuel and in fuel Operating Pressures cells to regulate hydrogen. As this partial list demonstrates there Flow Requirements are numerous applications for regulators yet, in each of them, the Size & Weight pressure regulator provides the same function. Pressure regulators reduce a supply (or inlet) pressure to a lower outlet pressure and Pressure Reducing Element (poppet valve) Sensing Element (piston or diaphragm) work to maintain this outlet pressure despite fluctuations in the The Reference Force Element (spring) inlet pressure. The reduction of the inlet pressure to a lower outlet pressure is the key characteristic of pressure regulators.

  • Surface-Supplied Diver Training Manual
    Surface-supplied Diver Training Manual Tennessee Aquarium Chattanooga, TN Published by the Diving Control Board Tennessee Aquarium Chattanooga, TN 1st Edition 2007 Purpose Surface-supplied diving is defined in the Tennessee Aquarium Diving Safety Manual (TADSM) as a diving mode in which the diver in the water is supplied from the dive location with compressed gas for breathing and is in voice communication with the tender on the surface. This definition is based upon the requirements outlined in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Code of Federal Regulations. (29 CFR 1910 Subpart T) This federal law outlines the criteria for all commercial diving. The surface-supplied diving mode requires gear and techniques that are not introduced in recreational diver training. This text was designed by the Tennessee Aquarium Diving Control Board to introduce Aquarium divers to the fundamental principles associated with surface-supplied diving. This text should be accompanied by proper practical training, as outlined in Appendix A, to promote safe surface-supplied diving under the auspice of the Tennessee Aquarium. Figure 1 – Secret Reef Dive Show- A primary use of surface-supplied diving at the Tennessee Aquarium. i Introduction There are numerous advantages to surface-supplied diving that make it an excellent choice for many diving operations. First, the diver has the benefit of an unlimited air supply. With a surface-supplied diving system, a diver can theoretically stay underwater forever. Of course, in reality, there are comfort, thermal, and decompression limits. For deep technical diving, a surface-supplied rig relieves the diver of the need to carry numerous stage bottles.

  • Can Asthmatic Subjects Dive?
    SERIES SPORTS-RELATED LUNG DISEASE Can asthmatic subjects dive? Yochai Adir1 and Alfred A. Bove2 Number 1 in the Series “Sports-related lung disease” Edited by Yochai Adir and Alfred A. Bove Affiliations: 1Pulmonary Division, Lady Davis Carmel Medical Center, Faculty of Medicine, The Technion, Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel. 2Cardiology Section, Dept of Medicine, Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, PA, USA. Correspondence: Yochai Adir, Pulmonary Division, Lady Davis Carmel Medical Center, 7 Michal St., Haifa, Israel. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Recreational diving with self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) has grown in popularity. Asthma is a common disease with a similar prevalence in divers as in the general population. Due to theoretical concern about an increased risk for pulmonary barotrauma and decompression sickness in asthmatic divers, in the past the approach to asthmatic diver candidates was very conservative, with scuba disallowed. However, experience in the field and data in the current literature do not support this dogmatic approach. In this review the theoretical risk factors of diving with asthma, the epidemiological data and the recommended approach to the asthmatic diver candidate will be described. @ERSpublications The theoretical risks of diving with asthma, epidemiological data and the recommended approach to asthmatic divers http://ow.ly/105KuZ Introduction Recreational diving with self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) has grown in popularity and millions of dives are performed in USA each year. Asthma is a common disease with a prevalence of ∼7% in the general population and probably has a similar prevalence among divers [1]. There is obvious theoretical concern for asthmatic divers.

  • Diving Air Compressor - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Diving Air Compressor from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    2/8/2014 Diving air compressor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Diving air compressor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A diving air compressor is a gas compressor that can provide breathing air directly to a surface-supplied diver, or fill diving cylinders with high-pressure air pure enough to be used as a breathing gas. A low pressure diving air compressor usually has a delivery pressure of up to 30 bar, which is regulated to suit the depth of the dive. A high pressure diving compressor has a delivery pressure which is usually over 150 bar, and is commonly between 200 and 300 bar. The pressure is limited by an overpressure valve which may be adjustable.

Oil-lubricated compressors must only use lubricants specified by the compressor's manufacturer. Special filters are used to clean the air of any residual oil and water(see "Air purity"). Smaller compressors are often splash lubricated - the oil is splashed around in the crankcase by the impact of the crankshaft and connecting A low pressure breathing air rods - but larger compressors are likely to have a pressurized lubrication compressor used for surface supplied using an oil pump which supplies the oil to critical areas through pipes diving at the surface control point and passages in the castings.
