Automatic control system for rebreather

Abstract

Automatic control system for a rebreather, the automatic control system comprising sensors, a microcontroller and an indicator, the microcontroller being adapted to analyse readings of the sensors and, when abnormal readings are detected, actuate a bailout, generate a safety instruction to the diver and display this instruction on the indicator. The re-breathing apparatus has a bailout system automatically activated in an emergency, where the breathing circuit is shut off, and the diver starts inhaling directly from the breathable gas supply and exaling to the environment. With the system of the invention, the diver is provided with information on the cause of this or that situation, together with clear instructions, so that the diver does not have to analyse the figures and take decision in stress situation.
