An input means is included in a buoyancy control device that allows for a second rate ascent. The first input mechanism 81 may be used to select the second rate. It may also serve as a rate switch. Or, the second rate can be chosen by bypassing first-selected rate. Depending on the circumstances, a buoyancy control device may be comprised of a number of different features. One embodiment of a buoyancy control device includes a buoyancy tank as well as a weight belt.
Weight belts
Although the centre of buoyancy is out of the divers control, the suit weight and position of the cylinder can be adjusted by them. Divers may also have additional control over their buoyancy with weight belts, integrated BC weights, and other weight belts. To provide neutral trim, these buoyancy control devices should always be worn above the hips and below the knees.
Dump valves
You can use a BCD to regulate your buoyancy in two different ways. Either you can completely deflate your air bladder or add air to refresh it. Dump valves are typically attached to a string and allow you to control the air levels. BCDs generally have one or two dumps valves at each shoulder. When diving, you can use the dump valves to deflate the air bladder to maintain a comfortable buoyancy.
Jacket-style buoyancy control device
You might want to consider a jacket-style buoyancy controlling device (BCD), whether you are just starting out or have been diving for a while. BCDs come in many sizes and can be worn comfortably over swimsuits. Some models are equipped with rear trim pockets and front weight pockets. A jacket-style BCD has a cushioned hard back that makes wearing it comfortable and allows you to easily adjust its buoyancy gauges.
BC attachment systems
A BC vest is a type that scuba divers use to keep buoyant and prevent from sinking. The BC holds the diver and SCUBA tank in place. Although BCDs are similar, the design and functions may differ from one model to another. It is vital to understand how your BC works and what to do in the case of an error.
Pneumatic valves allow for the control of depth.
Pneumatic valves are the heart of most industrial processes. They control the flow fluids using a forcebalance principle. A pneumatic device has three ports. There is an air supply, a control signals output, and an exit. The device to be controlled is located above a lever arm. It features a flexible diaphragm to change pressure when external sensors move it. When the sensor's pressure rises, the left end of the lever arm lifts and opens the supply air valve. The controlled device will move when there is more pressure.
