Deck Decompression Chamber

The CTEK Deck Decompression Chamber (DDC) is a premium, safety-engineered system built for critical offshore and commercial diving operations. This DDC is meticulously designed and

certified to the highest international standards, including ASME PVHO-1 and IMCA compliance. With a 1.6-meter internal diameter and a 10 bar design pressure, it provides a secure and comfortable hyperbaric environment for divers requiring decompression or therapeutic recompression.

 

The chamber features a robust control panel, available as a side-mounted or standalone unit, equipped with multiple depth gauges and a primary communicator for precise monitoring. For enhanced safety, it includes a live hyperbaric video surveillance system with recording capabilities. The DDC is built for reliability, offering a floodable volume of 6.9 m³ and a medical lock with a fail-safe interlocking mechanism for seamless transfer of supplies.

 

With a design temperature range of 0∘ to 50∘C and multiple safety features, this decompression chamber ensures the well-being and safety of divers during and after a dive.

 

Key Features:

  • Certified Safety: Compliant with multiple international standards, including IMCA (D014, D018, D023, D037) and ASME Section VIII, Div-1. Also holds an

    ASME PVHO-1 U Stamp.

  • High-Pressure Capacity: Designed for a 10 bar pressure and hydro-tested at 15 bar.

  • Advanced Monitoring: Features a live hyperbaric camera system with video recording and backup, displayed on a 15-inch LED monitor.

  • Comfort and Occupancy: The main lock accommodates two people (sitting/lying), while the entry lock holds one. Both are equipped with fire-retardant mattresses and internal hyperbaric LED lighting.

  • Essential Support Systems: Includes provisions for up to six Built-in Breathing Systems (BIBS) in the main lock and three in the entry lock, and up to two CO2 scrubbers for air purification.

  • Service Lock: Features an internal diameter of 242mm and an external door with a fail-safe interlocking mechanism for safe transfers.

  • Temperature Control: Operates within a 0∘ to 50∘C temperature range and offers heating options, including heat exchangers and electrical blankets.

  • Durable Viewports: ASME PVHO-1 and class-approved viewports with a 250mm diameter.
