 |
Nui’s chamber complex represents a modern diving simulator which can simulate “offshore diving” down to 385 m. The chamber complex is classified by DnV. The complex consists of 6 pressure chambers in connection with each other. The environmental control is maintained by 4 external system units. The units may be cross-connected in pairs for better security if one unit falls out. |
Each unit maintains moisture, temperature and CO2 down to 500m within relevant demands and limit values.
Chamber 1: Living chamber. Max work depth 385m.
Length 3500mm, diameter 2200mm, volume 10m3, entrance 800mm.
All functions for a 4-man living chamber are maintained. This chamber is equipped with 50 isolated cables. It is in addition equipped with supplement ducts for gas and flexible modular outtakes. The chamber has a cooling element on its outer wall, and may be cooled down to 0°C for thermal experiments.
Chamber 2: Living chamber. Max work depth 385m.
Length 4700mm, diameter 2200mm, volume 15m3, entrance 800mm.
Functions for a 4-man living chamber are maintained
It is equipped with 50 isolated cables and 157 cables for transmission of different signals. There is also installed abundant gas ducts and flexible modular ducts which can be equipped according to the employer’s demands
Chamber 3: Transmission chamber. Max work depth 385m.
Length 3500mm, diameter 2200mm, volume 10m3, entrance 700mm.
This chamber is equipped as a sanitary chamber containing toilet, sink and shower. It may also be used for testing purposes and has 50 isolated cables and 137 other cables. It is in addition equipped with supplement ducts for gas and 16 flexible modular outtakes. A “trunk” on the top with 700mm diameter enables connection possibilities to a diving bell.
Chamber 4: Work chamber. Max work depth 650 m.
Length 7130mm, diameter 3000mm, volume 50m3, Entrance 3000mm.
The chamber may be operated in 4 different ways
1. Partially filled with water, with one try and one wet section. This simulates a diving bell.
2. Totally dry, simulates dry habitat.
3. Totally filled with water, simulates a diving bell and may be used for pressure testing ect.
4. Bed module for 8 persons, fully equipped with BIBS and light in each bed.
The chamber is equipped with a great number of isolated cables and other ducts which can be equipped according to the employer’s demands.
Chamber 5: Transmission chamber. Max work depth 385m.
Length 3200mm, diameter 2200mm, volume 11m3, entrance 700mm.
The purpose of this chamber is that it shall function as a transmission chamber between chamber 6 and the rest of the chamber system. It is in addition equipped as a sanitary chamber with toilet, sink and shower.
Chamber 6: Transmission and transport chamber. Max workdepth 385m.
Lengde 6500mm, diameter 2200mm, volum 22m3, åpning 700mm.
The chamber is separated in two compartments and is used as a transport and rescue chamber. It is fully equipped to facilitate 8 persons under pressure. One compartment is equipped with toilet, sink and shower. Kammeret er delt i to avdelinger og fungerer som et transport- og redningskammer. The chamber is mounted on a trolley connected to a rail, which enables transport without complications.
