<DIV>When subbing in hot climes, we use an air conditioner and hose into the
hull to keep sub cool until hatch closure – then, if the water temp is high we
use multi-pocketed pilot vests with sealed ice packs in the pockets. These are
the kind you can refreeze over and over – the smaller ones used for sports
injuries work well. We also cover the DeepWorker domes with a reflective cap (
‘space’ blanket also works) while it sits on deck prior to a dive. We did many
months of diving off the south Florida coast in summer (for NOAA ) – it was
killer for heat! </DIV>

<DIV>Maybe a whole lot of slika pads (not sure if you call them that in the
States.)</DIV>
<DIV>They wouldn't leave water in the bottom of the hull like ice. If you had a
container with a cover</DIV>
<DIV>that could be removed & replaced, you could regulate the temperature a
bit. </DIV>
<DIV>It would be interesting to compare the amount of cooling you would get from
a battery</DIV>
<DIV>compared with a block of ice the same size.</DIV>

<DIV>The air conditioners in the Tritons have heat exchangers in the water.
However you wouldn't</DIV>
<DIV>get much cooling from the water in Florida. You could swim in there all

<DIV>I know they were heavy on the batteries.</DIV>

<DIV>That is something to think about. How does the subs at Triton or Nuytco
put in A/C and heat? Just a big motor and alot of battery power? This whole
idea may just not be practical for our subs, but I think worth exploring
after I saw Alec amd Steve get out of snoopy the other day. </DIV>

<DIV>I know basically nothing about HVAC. I am assuming taking a compressor
outside of a car and running it on a 36 volt motor and running the tubing on
the outside of the sub to disperse heat would consume to much power right?
Anyone know how many amps at 36 volt, 24 volt, and 12 volt would be required
to do something like this?</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>
