Line 40: Submarine escape sets had a mouthpiece, so the user had to also wear a [[noseclip]] to prevent breathing water through the nose. The endurance of a submarine escape set was between 15 and 45 minutes.{{cn\|date=August 2023}} ~~====Use during submarine escape====~~ If an emergency made exit from a submarine necessary, first the crew had to wait until the air inside the submarine was compressed by pressure of entering sea water until the remaining air pocket was at the same pressure as outside. The lower end of the escape hatch had therefore to be low enough so that the remaining air inside the submarine could not escape when the hatch was opened. Then the crew could step out.{{cn\|date=August 2023}} The set's user had to not hold their breath during ascent to avoid [[pulmonary barotrauma]].{{cn\|date=August 2023}} ====Open circuit escape breathing apparatus==== Line 61 ⟶ 58: ==Applications== [[File:US Navy 030312-N-0068T-036 Fireman Charles Phillips uses an Emergency Escape Breathing Device (EEBD) as he climbs up the emergence escape trunk while conducting a main machinery space fire drill.jpg\|thumb\|US Navy [[Emergency Escape Breathing Device]] (EEBD)]] \|[[File:Immersion Suite.JPG\|thumb\|Russian submarine-escape suit including aan escape [[rebreather]].]]▼ Escape breathing apparatus are a class of self contained atmosphere supplying or air purifying breathing apparatus for use in emergencies, intended to allow the user to pass through areas without a breathable atmosphere to a place of relative safety where the ambient air is safe to breathe.
