LIFERAFT 25DKF+S30

LIFERAFT 25DKF+S30
Este tipo de balsa es diseada segn lo establecido en la Cricular MSC
1328 del 11 de junio del 2009, lo nuevo en este tipo de Balsa es que posee
2 sensores qumicos en el contenedor, que permite al personal de abordo
y al Inspector chequear la Humedad interna de la Balsa y la presin
correcta del Cilindro de CO2 sin tener que sacar la balsa del contenedor,
solo con introducir un Instrumento de medicin para la humedad y pulsar
la membrana para el Cilindro de CO2, esto nos permite extender el
reconocimiento de 12 meses a 30 meses.

INSTRUMENTO RECOMENDADO POR VIKING PARA TOMAR HUMEDAD

DENTRO DEL LIFERAFTS
Cmo y para que medimos Humedad relativa? Se
obtiene, teniendo en cuenta tanto la humedad absoluta
en el aire y la temperatura del aire, que est diciendo el
nivel de humedad como una funcin de la cantidad
mxima de agua que el aire es capaz de contener a una
temperatura dada.
Si estamos tratando de controlar el moho y otros
patgenos de interior para los que el agua es un factor
de compuerta, que es la humedad relativa que es
importante. Por qu? Dado que el agua se condensa
del aire sobre una superficie del edificio ( y por lo tanto
es compatible con moho u otros patgenos de interior )
slo cuando el aire en esa superficie contiene ms agua
de la que puede contener a esa temperatura. Al
calentarse, los contactos de aire hmedo una superficie
fra , el plstico de la Balsa, por ejemplo , el aire que
toca esa superficie puede enfriar y obligar que su
humedad se condense en la superficie .
