If you are looking for a rebreather that will keep you breathing air in the water, you have several options. You have the IDA71 AP, AP, or Closed circuit rebreathers. Learn more about the features of these devices. These devices are designed to help you breathe and maintain a healthy EANx mix.
Closed-circuit rebreathers
Closed circuit rebreathers, also known as breathing apparatuses with limited air supply, are designed for divers and people with limited air supplies. These devices consist of four basic components: the Head Assembly, the Over Pressure Valve OPV (Bail Out Valve BV (BOV), as well as the Counterlung Assembly. The water trap is located at the bottom.
The closed-circuit rebreather keeps the exhaled gas in a closed loop, where it is refreshed, filtered, and recycled back to the diver. The diver can inhale without fear of the system contaminating with toxic gases. The closed-circuit system allows the diver also to see the partial air pressure. The diver can also see the depth, air pressure, and maximum dive time on his dive computer.
The oxygen control valve on the closed-circuit respirator is connected to an oxygen tank. The diluent reservoir holds a 42-liter gas block. The gas block includes an inlet and feed hoses 44 and 46. A manual add hose 50 passes from the gas block to the rebreather. The secondary hose connects the rebreather's head 36 to the oxygen control va 28.
IDA71 rebreather
The IDA71 rebreathing system is used by both military and marine divers. Rysk in Russia developed the IDA71. There are 71 models in the industry. Names are taken from Russian terminology for insulating breath apparatus. The simmotstand of the models is minimized. They are also equipped with an oxygen diluent.
The IDA-71 is similar to IDA-59, but it is smaller and can be worn on one's back. It is compatible to a heavy work helmet and can be integrated into a full dry suit for hazardous environment. The IDA-71 was used extensively in heat exchanger surveys in nuclear power plants, and in covert military functions.
Its design has been hailed as one of the most unique in the industry. It can extend the dive time of divers by up to ten times. It comes with an oxygen cilindro, which allows the rebreather circuit of the dive boat to fill it before the diver starts the diving process.
AP rebreather
There are many options for divers of all budgets and styles to choose from in the AP rebreather range. Each model is customizable with the possibility to choose between 3 different chassis sizes and 5 different harness sizes. There are also two different scrubber lengths. The AP line has multiple upgrades that can make the rebreather easier and more comfortable.
AP Diving was founded in 1975 and has been in the industry of diving equipment manufacturing for over 45 years. Their goal is to be the best in everything they do, and they are committed to educating and supporting the sport and technical diving community. They have developed a unique manufacturing process and design that ensures consistency and quality in their rebreathers. The company also produces a complete diving machine, including tanks, lungs, BCDs, and tempstiks.
The AP rebreather comes with adjustable flow orifices which allow divers control the flow of oxygen while diving. The AP rebreather will adjust to any fluctuations of oxygen partial pressure in the diving circuit. These rebreathers also weigh less so divers can easily transport them around.
