    Bauer K-15 Exhaust Filter Question

    No problem. Glad that it helped. I've no problems since putting mine in. Best part is I take my side cover off to check the oil and inspect the compressor every time before I start it and there is no mess in side. Before I had to wipe it down everytime as I like the compressor to be spotless.

    Compressing ambient air vs cooled room air?

    I really wouldn't worry about the rubber belts. If it's seized up it's not pumping air anyway. I have my air inlet out side the compressor in the room. I also have a fan blowing across the top of the compressor. It really keeps the heat down around the compressor. it looks like this and they...

    Bauer K-15 Exhaust Filter Question

    I would get this with my compressor. I made a little accumulator. It really didn't have to do with the time of the blow down but the force of the pressure blowing off. Coming out off the 1/2 hose was a lot of force with the air. The water would just spit hard into the filter. As I saw a lot of...

    Dive Team Accident

    The biggest thing is not the weight release system inquestion. Heck did he even try to ditch his weights. Since this person can’t speak the department might said this to cover their own mistake up. 12 BC’s not working sounds like it was strung wrong or overweighed as others...

    Any Advice on my Continuous Blending System Design?

    Yes the box above, is the tri hunter controller. I can mix both nitrox and HE thru the compressor, It has the meter valves built in and has the compressor saftey shut of soleniod inside. You wire it to the compressor. No it's not tied into the net book. I use the net book to figure out the mix...

    Any Advice on my Continuous Blending System Design?

    Couple more things. On the fill manifold, move the check valve to between the manifold and the shut of valve like the above picture. The way you have it your going to see line pressure and not tank pressure. After you shut off the valve your still going to see your line prssure. When the tanks...

The regulator,solenoid valve, check valve, needle valve and pressure gauge can go. This is do to the the Tri hunter will come with...

    Fatality off Bald Head Island - NC

    The other guys diving double 100's had run times close to as you just stated. Don and I were diving bigger doubles and both had 72's of O2. That would have been way more than enough O2 to handle any emergency or failure under water.

    Fatality off Bald Head Island - NC

    the dive time has been stated and the the depth was 1.29 ppo2 As for the fill station that did the air. It was my fill station. I'm quite anal about my system and how clean it is. The complete system is O2 clean inside except the compressor as I didn't take it apart. Systems under 40% do not...

    Fatality off Bald Head Island - NC

    He pressed his own purge button. I think he died after he pressed and his body went stiff holding the button in. I know his hand on the rope was stiff as I had to also pull his hand up as he was holding it. When the air ran out he was still holding the reg with the purge pressed in. I never have...

    Fatality off Bald Head Island - NC

    You got me where all the ox tox came from. We were diving under 1.4 ppo2. It was also the first dive of the trip. I don't think anything has to do with the purging of the reg. His problem started before the purging of the reg. Someone even stated why I allowed it. My buddy had a problem. If...

    Fatality off Bald Head Island - NC

    Yes the coast guard knows everything. I’m glad you’re trying to look for something more but it’s not. If you were a crew member on a boat and you let people off the boat diving to 100 foot on 40% you should have been fired for allowing it to happen. I or any of the people I...
