How long would folks estimate it takes for the pressure drop from immersion cooling of a cylinder to occur? It's probably a range since air and water tems can vary widely with the seasons making the delta T anything from zero 40+degrees F.
I ask since I have read that "wet filling" is an ineffective tank cooling. I recognize that during a dive the tank is fully immersed and the ocean (take your pick) is one big big heat sink.Yet a recent post mentioned watching for this phenomenon as soon as 30 seconds into the dive.
I'm sure someone has done tests and it probably varies by tank. Assume the tank was fully cooled to ambient, not hot off the whip.
