There is a normal CO2 scrubber system that filters CO2 back into oxygen much the same as the space shuttle. In case of emergency oxygen Sodium Chlorate candles are used which give off an enormous amount of oxygen when its activated.

Do submarines use oxygen tanks?

Submarines typically use air tanks. Oxygen is very dangerous and very flammable. It's use is very limited on submarines for that reason.


How much oxygen does a submarine have?

Modern nuclear submarines make their own oxygen as needed by electrolyzing sea water. The amount of oxygen carried by conventional submarines depends on the design and size of the particular submarine.


How is air recycled in submarines?

In modern submarines, the electrolyser separates oxygen from hydrogen in seawater to produce breathable oxygen. There is also a scrubber that removes excess CO2 from the air.


What are two uses of oxygen?

two uses for oxygen can be either the obvious to breathe or you can say oxygen can be used to make the production of steel, plastics, textiles, rocket repelant it can also be used for oxygen therapy and life support in aircraft, submarines, spaceflight and diving.......... hope that helps two uses for oxygen can be either the obvious to breathe or you can say oxygen can be used to make the production of steel, plastics, textiles, rocket repelant it can also be used for oxygen therapy and life support in aircraft, submarines, spaceflight and diving.......... hope that helps


How is oxygen replenished in modern day submarines?

Oxygen is replenished in modern submarines through the use of onboard oxygen generation systems (OBOGS) or by carrying compressed oxygen cylinders that can be manually replaced when necessary. This ensures a continuous and reliable supply of oxygen for the crew onboard.


Which chemical is used in submarines to form oxygen?

Chemicals aren't used to make O2 on board modern submarines; they use electrolysis to separate the Hydrogen and Oxygen in DI water, then store the O2 in tanks outside the pressure hull. The hydrogen is bled overboard as tiny bubbles (in the wine.... make me feel happy...make me feel fine).


How is the decomposition of an alkali metal chlorate used on navy submarines?

The decomposition of alkali metal chlorates, such as sodium chlorate, is utilized in navy submarines for oxygen generation. When heated, these compounds decompose to release oxygen gas, which is essential for maintaining breathable air in underwater environments. This process can be part of a chemical oxygen generator, providing a reliable source of oxygen during extended missions when conventional ventilation is not possible. Additionally, this method is compact and efficient, making it suitable for limited space aboard submarines.
