  • Glossary of Rebreather Diving by Jill Heinerth !A !Absolute Pressure – the Total Pressure Imposed by the Depth of Water Plus the Atmospheric Pressure at the Surface
    ! Glossary of Rebreather Diving by Jill Heinerth !A !Absolute pressure – The total pressure imposed by the depth of water plus the atmospheric pressure at the surface. Absorbent pads – Absorbent material placed in a breathing loop; used to soak up moisture caused by condensation !and metabolism. Accumulator – A small chamber that provides a collection vessel to ensure proper gas flow of oxygen to a solenoid !valve. Active-addition – A rebreather gas-addition system that actively injects gas into the breathing loop (such as a !constant-mass flow valve in certain kinds of semiclosed rebreathers). !Atmospheres absolute (ata) – The absolute pressure as measured in atmospheres. Atmosphere (atm) – A unit of pressure equivalent to the mean pressure exerted by the Earth's atmosphere at sea !level, or by 33 fsw, or by 10 msw (equal to 1.0 bar or 14.7 psi). Automatic diluent valve (ADV) – A mechanically-activated valve that adds diluent gas when increasing pressure !associated with descent or lowered volume triggers the device. Axial scrubber – A type of CO2 absorbent canister design. In this design, the gas flows through the canister in a !linear fashion from one end of the canister to the other. !B Backplate – A plate made of stainless steel, aluminum or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) plastic which !attaches to a rebreather and allows for the use of a webbed or soft harness system. !Bailout – A failure requiring a dive to be terminated, usually using open-circuit gas. Bailout gas – Tanks carried by the diver to allow for escape from a serious situation, often conducted with open- !circuit technique.
