Not trying to be dense, but when my expired breath (just air to keep the concept simple, roughly 79% N2, 16% O2 and 5% CO2) goes through the CO2 scrubber - what comes out the other end? How much of the C in the CO2 ends up in the adsorbent, and what chemically happens? I'm guessing (again, from what I've been able to find on the 'net) that some of the O2 is returned to the breathing loop, some stays with the adsorbent, while some reacts with the adsorbent so create H2O...
Just trying to figure out how a passive addition rebreather works.
thanks!
