41
Q

How many bottles and the OTPA charge at once? OTPA manual dive shared drive

A

-6**

42
Q

How does the OTPA work? OTPA manual dive shared drive

A

Drive air is supplied to the pump assembly from a high pressure or low pressure air source. To drive the haskel pump the drive air source must provide a minimum of 10 standard cubic feet per minute flow at 125-3000 psi. The drive air is regulated 125 psi to regulate the haskel pump. The pump draws O2/HeO2 from a approved gas supply source and compresses it internally. The HP air is then released to the charging manifold through the pump to manifold interconnecting hose.
Air source can be ship’s air, SCUBA tanks, or air compressor.
