Working with oxygen is dangerous and requires expertise. Scuba Support specializes in the servicing of both oxygen dive as fill / blend equipment. Servicing should be done annually.

Also we have special equipment for oxygen cleaning, such as Ultrasonic cleaning baths and a laminar flow cabinet for cleaning and reassembling in a oxygenclean environment.

Oxygen clean and oxygen compatible are necessary

Valves, cylinders, hoses, couplings, etc. where oxygen levels are higher than 40%.

For the diver, this usually means the dive bottles, which are used for Nitrox and Trimix, which are filled through Blending.

For machines sets for sets that are used to decode a filling bottles with over 40%.

Oxygen service = Oxygen compatible + Oxygen clean

This equates to:

All parts that come into contact with oxygen should be oxygen compatible.
All parts that come into contact with oxygen should be clean oxygen.
Be satisfied with this combination, then we talk about oxygen service.

Oxygen compatible

Standard O-rings and other items in vending machines and cranes are usually not compatible oxygen.

This means that they react and oxidize (burn and / or dissolution) at higher oxygen levels.

The effects of oxygen fire or explosion, serious hazards so.

To prevent this should only be made using inert substances for oxygen.

Examples include: Viton (o-rings), Teflon (sessions), EPDM (o-rings), Brass (housings and connectors) etc.

Oxygen Clean

In addition to oxygen compatible, all items must be clean and stripped of his hydrocarbons.

These hydrocarbons oxygen can also cause fires and explosions.

Special cleaning the parts stripped of these hydrocarbons.

To prevent that, after cleaning again hydrocarbons on the parts through the air, the components assembled in a laminar flow cabinet. This is a kind of closet with a workbench where filtered air on the workbench and components is blown.

What should you do to everything after cleaning also oxygen to keep clean

If your tank or service automatenset oxygen (oxygen compatible + very clean substance) is, you also should keep!

Dive bottles and taps:

Fill out only in locations where the air meets the standards (EN standard)
Keep the faucet clean and free of grease
Leave the bottle never empty than 20 Bar
Make full use of protection caps in the crane
Turn taps always open slowly
When completed it would be advisable, prior to connecting the bottle just to open the valve, allowing any dirt and moisture is blown outwards and not in the bottle gets.

Partly because behind the INT adapter that often taps screwed is often dirt and moisture accumulates, it is advisable to DIN machines to use.

Automatic breath:

Use good lockable caps for the mounting / INT connection to moisture and dirt to keep.
Replace the DIN / INT O-ring only for a EPDM or Viton implementation
Keep water always under pressure on automatenset to prevent moisture in this area.
In our training Blender you will gain much knowledge regarding the risks of diving by filling bottles with high oxygen levels.

In addition, you will learn many tips and tricks from the practice and also how cranes and machines can oxygen servicing.
