ABSTRACT

The second part of the monograph describes the research on the processes of ventilation of hyperbaric complexes.

This chapter presents the experimental results of the research concerning the mathematical model of ventilation for hyperbaric chambers much larger than diving apparatuses, hence the ventilation processes taking place in them run slower. However, deterministic models of the ventilation process of hyperbaric chambers are analogous to the models of ventilation of a semi-closed-circuit breathing apparatus.

The aim of the presented experiments was to find out whether the ventilation mathematical models applied to the semi-closed-circuit diving apparatus can be also applied to hyperbaric chambers. The theoretical formula for the interrupted and continuous ventilation of the hyperbaric facilities is presented. The results of the experiments confirmed the usability of the applied mathematical models for the interrupted and continuous ventilation parameters. The experiments confirmed the possibility to use the common ventilation mathematical model for two very different hyperbaric facilities such as the diving apparatus and the hyperbaric chamber.

The procedures proposed to develop mathematical models of ventilation can be applied on both the micro scale and the macro scale. The macro scale is concerned with the diving methodology.
