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.
