The curve for the half-value times of 146-185 min for nitrogen coincides in "the air range" with that for the half-value times of 55-240 min for helium. 1 bar can be maintained. 5 bar). 86 bar). With the ZH-L12 system a continuous decompression can also be calculated without difficulty and a computer programmed for decompression calculations.

At the simulated altitude air was breathed and work was performed on the bicycle-ergometer during 10 min in each hour. In computing the "correct" decompression the value was again rounded, as mentioned in Table 8 (see Sect. 2). 16. 0bar. 5 bar. 0 bar for 60 min the ambient pressure is reduced for 120 min. 17. 5 bar for 65 min. 70 bar for 120 min.
