GENERAL

The IHC Hytech CO
The scrubber has an induced flow fan that pulls breathing gas through a canister filled with soda
lime to adsorb CO
The fan motor is designed by IHC Hytech and has completely potted stator electronics. This
protects the motor from environmental impacts such as raised oxygen levels, humidity and
pressure.
The canister can hold approx. 7.5 kg (16.5 lbs) of CO
a bayonet locking mechanism for easy replacement. The canister is provided with internal mesh
of 0.3 mm to keep in the smallest grains.
One scrubber is capable of serving eight persons for more than 6 hours in a chamber with
adequate gas circulation.
To minimise dust forming and increase the duration of the adsorbent, soda lime with a particle
size of 1-2 mm can be used.
