The present invention relates to a method and system for determining the partial pressure of at least one gas in a mixture of gasses contained in a life support pressure chamber. The present invention also relates to a method of calibrating a gas analysis sensor used to measure the partial pressure of at least one gas in a mixture of gasses contained in a life support pressure chamber.
Under pressure at depth, increased volumes of gasses pass into solution in a diver’s body.
This effect tends to occur at an exponential rate depending upon the difference between the external gas partial pressures, the solubility of the breathed gasses and the partial pressures of the gases already dissolved in the body.
