External Environmental Control for

 Hypo/Hyperbaric Chamber

 

Simon Fraser University’s Department of Kinesiology installed a hypo/hyperbaric chamber system to do ergonomic studies at both altitude and ocean depth.

The chamber system consists of a double-lock dry chamber and a wet pot. The environmental control system (ECS) controls temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide level of air, nitrogen-oxygen or helium-oxygen atmospheres in the dry chamber and temperature, particulate and bacteria levels of the water in the wet pot. The system is of the external type, i.e. all equipment is external to the chambers. The equipment consists of heat exchanger vessels, scrubber vessel, magnetically driven gas blower and water pump, stainless steel distribution piping and control valving, water filtration and sterilization equipment, refrigeration and heating equipment and a control panel.

Ed Smallhorn of S.E.A. Engineering was project manager for the project responsible for all aspects of the work from proposal stage through design to installation at the site.
