BUOYANCY CHAMBER - PRESSURE
NOTE:
A slight loss of air is normal before the cap is screwed on.
Only the plugs provide final airtightness.
II-5
PRESS-STUD
The buoyancy chamber has
5
compartments. Each must be inflated to a pressure of
240 mb / 3.4 PSI
.
It is the buoyancy chamber's correct pressure.
The ambient temperature of the air or the
water proportionally influences the internal
pressure of the buoyancy chamber.
Ambient temperature
Pressure inside the
buoyancy chamber
+1°C
+4 mb / 0.06 PSI
-1°C
-4 mb / 0.06 PSI
It is therefore important to anticipate.
Check and adjust the pressure of inflatable compartments (by inflating or deflating) depending on
the temperature (particularly when temperature variations are high between the morning and
evening in particularly hot regions) and check that the pressure does not exceed the recommended
pressure zone (from 220 to 270 mb).
RISK OF PRESSURE LOSS
Example:
Your boat is exposed to direct sunlight on the beach (temperature=50°C) at the recommended
pressure (240 mb/3.4 PSI). When you launch the boat (temperature = 20°C), the temperature and
pressure in the inflatable compartments will both drop (up to 120 mb) and
YOU MUST THEN RE-
INFLATE THEM
until the millibars lost due to the difference between air and water temperature are
regained.
It is normal to observe a drop in pressure at the end of the day when the outdoor temperature drops.
