Alan,

8L/min/person at rest per DAN.   7.5L/min/person at rest per tech article "A Guide to Breathing Rates in Confined Environments".  These two are at 1atm.  The SportSub Training Manual states 80cfm for two persons and 120cfm for three, which is about 37.7L/min for two, which is close to Herve's quote.  Anyway, the design calls for two compressors each capable of providing sufficient airflow for two resident plus one visiting occupants.  The more the better unless the hiss cannot be easily muffled.

Brownies make intriguing hookahs, but they are meant to feed demand second stage regulators.  They could likely be modified to freeflow.  I would think that even vegetable oil has to be filtered out if not prevented entirely from the breathing gas.

Tim,

is that 8 liters per minute per person?

I was told by Herve Jaubert that it was 20 liters for an ambient submarine,

would have thought a habitat would be similar.

You could Google Hookah's ( not to be confused with Hooker's) & see what

compressors / pumps they are using. I think dive compressors run on vegetable oil.

Cheers Alan

Tim,

I would think you need some sort of diaphragm pump.

Could this compressor be used for breathing air, or would the compressed air be contaminated with oil?  I am trying to source a low pressure high volume air source (8L/min/pax for the habitat at 21fsw.
