 Overbreathing the scrubber
is it possible to "overbreathe" the scrubber? In other words, if you found yourself in heavy current or otherwise having to exert yourself heavily, can you increase the flow rate through the scrubber to the point where it's no longer effective? Or, in the alternative, does the scrubber create enough resistance where, after a point, you just can't draw more gas through it, so your work of breathing goes way up?
I have never dived a rebreather, and I can't ever remember seeing this issue discussed anywhere. |
