The Life Support System Test Facility (LSTF) is a fully integrated laboratory system offering the capability to conduct tests at the surface and immersed in temperature controlled water to a maximum depth of up to 500msw (or deeper upon request).

Capability:

Enables precise testing to extreme conditions so design engineers can ensure the effectiveness of critical equipment.

  • Diving depth control with water chilling and heating
  • Breathing air heated & humidified with adjustable breaths per minute and tidal volume
  • Valve cracking effort, exhale resistance and work of breathing
  • Fast response gas analysis with CO2 injection and O2 dilution simulating respiration
  • Hydrostatic imbalance testing of rebreathers
  • Cold water chiller 
  • Breathing air heated & humidified
  • Buoyancy Control Device Testing
