In a P21 / Zero the air processing flow is from top to bottom, this is because that so called filter housing is a combo unit with water separator.
P41 and bigger is a stand alone filter housing ONLY, so it is from bottom to top air processing flow, which is better as dirt/wetness can be brought...
You got the airflow wrong.
It is bottom to top for air purification air flow and the Securus dessicant small bowl or sensor is on top.
It is always this way for the air flow, from bottom of filter tower
13X 1st bed >> 13X 2nd bed>> AC>>13X>> Hopcalite if using hopcalite

Securus is a low cost version of dew-point sensor Bauer is using , without needing the exotic up to -80C dew point NIST traceable sensor. So the cost is added to the filter cartridge as there is extra dessicant bed acting like a dew point sensor. Also Securus will have lower 13X quantity...
RUOK,
Hope this can help ..........
I never knew USA electrical system has so much variants.
I know well the 120/240 3 wire split phase because of US yachts I used to take care of, but never expected 208 Y 3 phase and 240V Delta 3 phase.
I have always thought USA 3 phase would be the...
AUD$ 150 for which service kit ?
If a true A + B + C which is 500 + 1,000 + 2,000 HR kit combined, no way they will ever sell you genuine Bauer kit (3) at such low prices.
I been stuck but happy to buy Bauer genuine ones, which probably is made by other company.
However, the 3rd stage floating...
NEXT............
Once in a while check the stud of the 2nd stage discharge valve, item 120.
If this one comes loose, it will get hammered by item-set 135 spring holder and becomes broken.
Without the stud item 120 pushing down on item-set 135 , that valve will leak air out into atmosphere from...
Aha...too bad you can't acces the HP Seat kit. This safety valve complete unit itself technically will last the 15 years pressure vessel reccomended life, the only wear-out item is that HP seat. I have 4 set of the HP seat kit ... :drunks:
Now we discuss the PMV or Back Pressure Valve some people call it.
This PMV is very important for proper drying of the air for the filter cartridge and for the proper use life of the media 13X, Activated Carbon and Hopcalite. In the end it is about air quality = safety.
What higher level of...
Thanks guys. I am happy if this thread can help others.
I shall continue.
The minor issues I had since day 1 were not severe in anyway, but one of them could be expensive for most people who has no access to the "locked" component and/or the country he/she is in requires some sort of approval...
When one is thingking to buy a pre-owned Mariner K120.2 block, make sure get a 2007 or newer.
2006 and below , the oil injection at stage 3 is different. 2007 and up is cooler running because the oil injection for floating piston is at a more optimized location. This is a 5 BAR oiling system...
The heat is killer no 1 will apply to all compressors having the same 3 stages, presssure ratio, and similar
air velocity from the pulley fan and operational RPM.
Higher operational RPM like baby Bauer PE100 and Junior = FASTER DEATH under the same operating condition.
When one asked me ...
I been away from ScubaBoard for sometime now.
I want to share this information for members, hoping you guys can make your compressor/s last as long if not longer while STILL in mechanical pristine condition.

UPDATING 10 YEARS LATER IN 2022
This is a Mariner/PE200 in a Live On Board (LOB) vessel, doing continuous blending of nitrox probably to 32%. The compressor room is not the coolest, sharing with main engine room, albeit lots of cooling blowers assisted, still I would guess ambient temp is easy...
I forgot to add, it has the Nitrox Membrane system.
These unit are not cheap, tell ur Boss to be prepared to pay the premium $$.
1 is the nitrox membrane. 2 are the compressors
In Florida there is a company who custom made water cooled version of Bauer. Install Portfolio – Moondog Dive Outfitters
My friend's yacht is a 50 meter and he has 2 of custom water cooled Bauer for Nitrox. I can't remember if it is from MoonDog or not, but is from FLORIDA, that is for sure...
Thank you Seeker for the DSC-MMSI info:cheers: , all of my DSC capable radios (older than 2009), also wrote if no MMSI , DSC wont work.
Hi Green,
Dive canister for portable VHF is the issue, hence most people don't carry one underwater.
In my days and up to today, I use Underwater Kinetic (...
Hi Green,
You asked : What do you think about the Nautilus Lifeline as an option ?
I just read what Nautilus Marine Rescue GPS is, the 1st generation was called
NAUTILUS LIFELINE RADIO and its is now discontinued, but available as refurbished unit
