SCAIR 60HP 1.2MPa Hyperbaric Compressor for Subsea Robotics & Research Chambers

SCAIR's 60HP compressor delivers 7.0 m3/min at 1.2MPa with DNV GL-ST-0378 certification, preventing $250k ROV mission failures where pressure fluctuations cause 18% hydraulic tool malfunctions at 3,000m depths.

Featuring titanium alloy flow paths and pressure-compensated bearings, this 45kW system maintains ±0.3% stability during saturation diving decompression cycles. The seawater-neutralizing coating withstands 5% NaCl concentration at 100m depth - critical for offshore energy operations.

• Air Delivery: 7.0 m3/min @ 1.2MPa (6.2m3/min @ 1.5MPa for lock-out chambers)

• Depth Rating: 100m seawater immersion (IP68K)

• Corrosion Resistance: 10,000-hour salt spray certification per ASTM B117

• Pressure Cycling: Validated for 10,000+ hyperbaric cycles at 50bar external pressure

• Depth Compensation: Auto-adjusting regulators maintain flow at 100:1 pressure differentials

• Biofouling Defense: Ultrasonic anti-fouling system prevents marine growth accumulation

• Hydrogen Management: Catalytic recombiners prevent H? buildup in saturation systems

• Blackout Recovery: Subsea supercapacitors enable 30-minute emergency operation

• ROV Tooling: Powers hydraulic power units for 300hp work-class ROVs (ISO 13628-8 compliant)

• Saturation Diving: Supplies life support systems for 28-day saturation missions at 300msw

• Deep-Sea Research: Feeds hyperbaric chambers simulating 6,000m hydrostatic pressure

• Subsea Mining: Drives pneumatic excavators for polymetallic nodule collection at 4°C

• Certifications: DNV GL-ST-0378, IMCA D022 diving systems, ABS Underwater Engineering

• Material Compliance: NORSOK M-630 for seawater corrosion

• Safety Systems: SIL 3 hyperbaric gas management per EN 13482

• Q: How to prevent gas narcosis in saturation systems?

  A: Real-time helium-oxygen blending maintains PO?<1.2bar during chamber compression.

• Q: Solution for hydrate formation in cold pipelines?

  A: Auto-trace heating maintains flow lines 15°C above hydrate formation temperature.

• Q: Corrosion protection in anoxic environments?

  A: Cathodic protection system prevents MIC in sulfate-reducing bacteria zones.
