[PSUBS-MAILIST] Pressure Chamber

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan,   You can paint the interior, that is the simplest.   Fresh water is no big deal like salt water.  I like WD 40 for protecting bare steel in fresh water.  You might not like that on your parts though.Hank

 I empty the tank before diving of course to save most of the stuff.  Only problem is its a bit slimy, so any left in the tank can slime up the underside of the boat on the first purge.  However, ive found that by purging the tank while driving forward gets rid of it without it glooping all over the hull.  Once its flushed though once, its all gone.

I fill my variable tank with liquid fluid film after dives which I am hoping is preventing the tank from rusting.   Its lanolin which is completely natural so can be pumped out into the sea next dive. http://www.fluid-film.com/ regardsJames

Hi Alan,I leave water in mine permanently, but it's stainless so not such a big deal.  If you put additives in, you'll also have to make sure they're compatible with all the stuff you're going to put in it (ie. acrylic, seal material, etc.), I reckon that's probably more important that the unlikely chance of spontaneous explosions.
Alternatively, what if you made a kind of liner that could be filled with water and save the water contacting the pressure-containing walls?  Could be as simple as putting a plastic container inside, or a welded stainless steel tube with end disc.
Cheers,Steve

Sending this again as I didn't receive it. Hank, (or anyone)do you add an anti-rust solution to your water in your pressure test chamber?I was thinking of putting something like anti-freeze in the water in the test chamber& leaving the fluid in the test chamber permanently.I have heard that the gas given off by some liquids can be explosive under pressure.I think this would be rare, but if there is something safe I could add that you know ofit would be appreciated.Alan
