SUBMARINE ESCAPE SUITS.
Submarine
Escape Suits are now available from Silvercrest, please contact us for
details.
Technical Specification.
The Submarine Escape Jerkin is designed for crews to escape
from small submarines, and manned submersibles. The jerkin works on a
similar principle to the traditional submarine escape suits used by the
Royal Navy, which have been successfully used on trials from 600ft
(200m) depths. The jerkin is packed in a compact valise bag that can be
easily stowed in a confined space, with one bag per crewmember. The
jerkin features a waistcoat type construction fitted with a stole or
life jacket section, and an ascent hood fully enclosing the escaper’s
head. The Submarine escape jerkin can be quickly unpacked and fitted
when required.
The Submarine Escape Jerkin is the ideal escape suit
for crews wishing to escape from stranded manned submersibles and other small
submarines being used in the scientific research, underwater leisure,
and other subsea operations. The escape jerkin features a waistcoat type
construction, fitted with a stole or life jacket section and an ascent
hood fully enclosing the escaper’s head.
The stole is fed with breathing quality air from an
integrally mounted air bottle (1.4 litre capacity at 200 bar). The
airflow from the stole into the ascent hood is automatically controlled
by a pair of pre-set relief valves. When worn with the hood fully
closed, surplus air is allowed to escape from an aperture at the base of
the ascent hood. Thus always giving the wearer newly replenished air to
breath on his ascent. Capacities: stole 12.5 litres. Ascent Hood 33
litres.
This jerkin is fitted with an inner hood for added
comfort and security. It also has waist belt and crutch straps, fully
adjustable to ensure comfort fit. The jerkin is also equipped with a
seawater activated light, whistle, torch and sea marker dye pack.
All the above is contained in a special purpose carry
valise that can be easily stowed onboard small manned submersibles or
tourist submarines.
UNDERWATER
COMMUNICATIONS (UWT) for SALE.
Subcom
2000 Through-water Communication
(UWT and UQC) systems
now available for sale.
The
Subcom 2000 Underwater Communications System is designed for use in
diving bells, small submarines and manned submersibles. The system
provides subsurface communications (UQC and UWT) between the submarine
and the surface (or other submarine) in clear speech, by acoustically
passing messages through the water column between two transducers.
The system can be powered either directly from the submarine onboard
power source, or alternatively by use of its own battery pack (minimum
of 20 hours under normal conditions).
The
Subcom 2000 incorporates an extremely reliable single side-band, suppressed
carrier system. Operating at 10Khz or 27KHz with 4.2KHz bandwidth.
Users can select between Subcom 2000 surface unit and Subcom 2000
bell unit.
A small submarine operation would have on the surface support vessel, one surface unit, 10Khz and 27Khz transducers with cables, and microphone. The submarine could select to have onboard a 10Khz and 27Khz transducer, microphone and either the surface unit or the bell unit (depending on space available).
The key features of the Subcom 2000 system are as follows:
Rechargeable
Battery packs.
Bell Internal
unit has a plastic coned loudspeaker/mic mounted in a flame retardant,
hose proof, field replaceable unit.
Bell Electronics and rechargeable batteries are in external housings eliminating helium ingression and humidity problems. They are hard anodized and depth rated to 1000 psi.
Surface Unit
is powered from internal rechargeable batteries with internal battery
charger.
Can be used
with existing helium speech de-scramblers.
Up to 3km
