Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber Servicing & Repairs – Another Fault Successfully Resolved
Yesterday, SmithTech Ltd attended a hyperbaric oxygen chamber following reports of an unusual whistling noise during operation.
Although the chamber was still functioning, the noise was noticeable and required investigation.
During our inspection and fault-finding process, we traced the problem to a cable gland at the point where the electrical cable enters the pressurised chamber to connect with the internal electronic components.
Over several years of operation, the cable gland had gradually become loose, allowing a small amount of compressed air to escape. Although the pressure loss was minor and had not caused any reported operational problems, the escaping air was producing an unacceptable whistling noise.
Once we identified the source, we secured the cable gland and checked the affected area again. The whistling noise disappeared, and the air leak was successfully resolved.
This is a good example of how even a relatively small component can affect the performance of specialist pressurised equipment.
