Respiratory Heat Loss and other Thermal Problems of Deep Diving
Abstract
In deep diving, heat loss from the body is very great and the respiratory component increases enormously due to the physical properties of the oxy-helium breathing mixtures. Keeping the diver warm is not only a problem when he is in the water, but also when he is in the diving bell and, to a lesser extent, in the living quarters. These problems are discussed and it is shown that failure of the heating system could rapidly produce serious effects.
