chamber

A diving chamber is a vessel for human occupation, which may have an entrance that can be sealed to hold an internal pressure significantly higher than ambient pressure, a pressurised gas system to control the internal pressure, and a supply of breathing gas for the occupants.
There are two main functions for diving chambers:

as a simple form of submersible vessel to transport divers underwater and to provide a temporary base and retrieval system in the depths;
as a land, ship or offshore platform-based hyperbaric chamber or system, to artificially reproduce the hyperbaric conditions under the sea. Internal pressures above normal atmospheric pressure are provided for diving-related applications such as saturation diving and diver decompression, and non-diving medical applications such as hyperbaric medicine.

    Hello all, I am in the process of moving our kitchen sink from one side of the room to the other. The new location is right by the boiler so rather than trail our HW and cold feed from the previous locations I am going to tap into the cold supply and the hot water directly from the boiler...

    Melted chamber seals

    Called to a job the other day where 4-5 year old Vaillant ecomax was giving an error message indicating that it wasn't getting enough air into the chamber. Good reason for this as upon investigation the air inlet (snorkel) had completely melted so no air could pass. After a good look i found...
