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).
