Model B-12 Hyperbaric Chamber system simulates the hydrostatic pressure cycle encountered by fish passing through a hydroelectric dam. The System is designed to be portable and to be used at a location by the water, where fish can be collected and cycled through the chamber. The system is designed to circulate the water available from the same location that the fish are gathered from.
Overview:
• Each chamber module includes water pressure and flow controls, pressure and temperature sensors
• Each chamber has the capability to maintain a set "acclimation" pressure indefinitely then transition into the fast pressure change simulation of the fish passing through a turbine
