IDA71

From WikiMD's medical encyclopedia

IDA71 is a type of rebreather, specifically a closed-circuit rebreather, that was developed and used by the Soviet Navy during the Cold War. The IDA71 is known for its robustness and reliability, and it is still used today by recreational scuba divers and technical divers around the world.

History

The IDA71 was developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a replacement for the earlier IDA59. The Soviet Navy needed a more reliable and efficient rebreather for their divers, and the IDA71 was the result of this need. The IDA71 was used extensively by the Soviet Navy throughout the Cold War, and it was also exported to other countries.

Design

The IDA71 is a closed-circuit rebreather, which means that it recycles the diver's exhaled gas. This is different from an open-circuit scuba system, where the exhaled gas is released into the water. The IDA71 uses a chemical scrubber to remove carbon dioxide from the exhaled gas, and it adds oxygen to replace the oxygen that was consumed by the diver.

The IDA71 is known for its robustness and reliability. It is made from durable materials, and it is designed to be easy to maintain and repair. The IDA71 can be used with a variety of gases, including air, nitrox, and trimix.

Use

The IDA71 is used by recreational scuba divers and technical divers around the world. It is especially popular among divers who engage in cave diving, wreck diving, and other forms of technical diving. The IDA71 is also used by some military and commercial divers.
