CCR Liberty oxygen sensor test kit is designed for automated validation of cells while mounted in the head. This cell tester turns the Libery head into a 3.5 bar pressure chamber. It flushes the head several times with O2, I must manually open the drain valve. Problems:
1) The drain valve is rather poor qualitiy, it looses very small chrome plates, you don't want this in a rebreather.
2) The drain valve is hard to close, it's leaking. I must use a pliers, producing even more chrome plates.
3) The flow is rather small, I have to wait some moments until pressure goes down from 3.5 bar to 1 bar. You have to open the valve several times, that's annoying.
I guess the slow decrease is not necessary for cell test. So I ask myself if I could add another drain valve for ex. the one in the picture (here on a filling hose), it has much more flow and better qualtiy.
What do you thing about this idea?
