Analox recommend that a fairly small bottle is chosen, allowing the gas to be carried on board the submarine. For example, in the UK we would recommend the use of 110 litre S-Can bottles (360mm long x Ø86mm, 1.55 litres water capacity, fill pressure of 68 bar).
RECOMMEND THIS DOCUMENT IS USED TO TRACK ANY MAINTENANCE CARRIED OUT ON THE COSAMS. The Analox COSAMS has been designed to require minimal maintenance and minimal spare parts inventory. Most elements of the system maintenance can be carried out by Level 1 (on board maintenance personnel).
Fault reporting to Analox In the event of a fault arising, the following table may be of use when reporting the fault to Analox. Please complete whichever sections are believed to be relevant to the fault and return a copy to Analox - contact details can be found on the front page of this manual.
