DCSC is a Demand Controlled Semi-Closed
Breathing System for mine-clearance operations. DCSC
is a further development of the renown and proven
ACSC. DCSC is a further development of the renown
and proven ACSC. DCSC and its predecessor have been
in use for many years with an excellent track record.
DCSC is extremely easy to operate and quick to deploy.
The Work of Breath (WOB) is very low due to three
important design features:
 Weight
compensated bellow. The bellow compensates regardless
 of
the divers position in water.
Radial
scrubber canister design – increasing the surface
and reducing
the
thickness of the soda lime layer to reduce the breathing
resistance.
The
entire breathing circuit is designed with large bores
to increase the
flow
capacity.
The set is neutral in water enabling ease and exactness
in all diving procedures. Maintenance costs are low
and service can be done with few tools. Field test
equipment is easy to operate and the documentation
is precise and easy to follow. The DCSC is characterized
by its high reliability and operational availability
The system has been used in diving under active service
conditions to 150 meters depth, and in simulator down
to 450 meters. The DCSC system has been used for more
than 10.000 dives.
Apart from an excellent magnetic signature and acoustic
qualities the safety aspects has been given the highest
priority. Warning device, bypass, and a separate harness
life jacket ensure comfortable handling and safe diving.

 key
features of the dcsc |
 |
|
|
Dosage of gas to the breathing circuit is mechanically
demand regulated. |
|
The dosage unit controls the oxygen
concentration with small variations regardless
of depth, oxygen consumption or working conditions.
Gas consumption remains the same regardless of
diving depth. |
|
 |
|
Breathing bellows are hydrostatically balanced.
Hydrostatically balanced breathing |
|
bellows gives excellent breathing
comfort at all altitudes. |
|
|
|
Breathing hoses and circuit have large flow
areas. Large flow areas gives the |
|
lowest possible breathing resistance. |
|
|
|
Only two gas mixtures are necessary for diving
from 0 to 56 m due to the unique |
|
dosage system. In regard to backup
and charging it simplifies logistics. The gas
cylinder has a 5 litre volume and 20 MPa charging
pressure. |
|
|
|
Uniquely designed absorber unit that can be
loaded in advance. The absorber unit |
|
is centrally placed in the housing
to insulate from cold water and function as a
water trap. |
|
|
|
The hydrostatic valve prevents the diver and
apparatus from getting squeezed during |
|
rapid descent. The hydrostatic
valve has an additional function as an automatically
operating buoyancy control valve. The apparatus
has a neutrally buoyancy in water. |
|
|
|
The apparatus has a built-in warning if a malfunction
occurs in the gas dosing |
|
system and manual by-pass. Single
breathing gas charge ensures that the diver always
receives breathable gas should a failure occur
in the regulator or dosage system. A built-in
warning indicates low breathing gas supply (approx.
10 min. rem.). |
|
|
|
The apparatus can be used with a face mask or
with a mouthpiece. The face mask |
|
has a connector for microphone.
The mouthpiece and the face mask have a gastight
shut-off valve in the mask connector. |
|
|
|
The apparatus does not have a harness, but is
hooked onto a lightweight carrier |
|
frame with a snap lock. The standard
carrier frame is equipped with two supporting
air cylinders for life jacket and dry suit. A
one-litre compressed air cylinder is fastened
to the carrier frame to supply air to a dry suit
or life jacket. |
