NOT MANY KNOWS THAT IT HAS BEEN USED BY RUSSIAN SPETZNAZ AS WELL AS SMALL SIZE OXYGENE CANISTER COULD PRODUCE MORE OXYGENE THAN FEW BIG DIVING OXYGENE BOTTLES. BUT WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT/ AS IT IS CLOSE CIRCUIT/ NO BUBBLES GETTING OUTSIDE SO THE DIVER COULD STAY UNDISCOVERED! HERE IS THE MOVIE ABOUT THIS STUFF, REALLY WORTH OF WATCHING!!! HAVE YOU EVER SEEN SOMETHING WE CAN CALL WATER GAS MASK? TURN ON ENGLISH SUBTITLES AND HAPPY WATCHING! Used by the Soviet Union and several Warsaw Pact countries. The Ip-5 is a larger unit than the previous model IP-4 and most likely could be used for a longer period of time. A large re-breathing bladder was worn around the neck and inflated via a large oxygen generating canister that was strapped to the wearer’s chest. You will receive a mask, re-bladder, hoses (as pictured) 2 carrying bags spare lens and instruction. The set is new, unused. What is so extraordinary in this gas mas? The IP-5 gas was used by Russian tank crews as a rescue gear when leaving sunken equipment and carrying out light underwater operations at a depth of up to 7m!! It has regenerative canisters producing oxygen in closed circuit. It was used also by Russian special forces do dive being undetected (no bubbles it’s a closed system)/. The mask is the fact that during the exhaust the exhaust air passes through the regenerative binder , and accumulated in the bag. Then , when air inspiration starts returning by the same route into the lungs of the user. Regeneration of the used air within the absorber is carried out according to the reaction. 4NaO2 + 2CO2 2Na2CO3+3O2. 4NaO2 + 2H2O 4NaOH + 3O.
