ALVIN's specifications call for a 48 man-hour environmental
system capability. To check this, a 24 man-hour test was run
as follows: Two successive test periods of six (6) hours each
with a two (2) man crew inside the pressure hull. The break
after six {6) hours was solely to change the crew. It was felt
that this 24 man-hour exercise would be adequate to judge the
system's 48 man-hour capability, particularly since one cannister
of LiOH was used, and the submarine will normally carry two {2).

Our objective was to investigate the mechanical and electrical integrity of the hull penetrator assembly, in its eighteen (18) ten 910) amp single lead configuration, as designed by Litton Industries for the ALVIN. The results indicated a few minor refinements must be made to the penetrator before final acceptance of this hardware.
