Abstract

A ship has three types of diving systems (Diver Stage Diving, Wet Bell Diving and Scuba Diving) to carry out a search-and-rescue operation. To reduce the possibility of decompression sickness, any diving systems shall comply with the decompression procedure according to the decompression table corresponding to the diving depth and diving time. The decompression procedure is largely divided into two methods: underwater decompression and underwater-onboard decompression. In particular, the surface interval shall not exceed 5 minutes, which is the phase from underwater decompression to underwater-onboard decompression, in accordance with the U.S Navy Diving Manual. However, the surface interval is greater than 5 minutes as a result of using Wet Bell Diving. This paper describes the result of cause analysis and measurement with improved Wet Bell Diving. Using improved Wet Bell Diving reduced the surface interval to less than 5 minutes. The result of the research can be used for operation and improving the performance of diving systems.

구조함은 수색 및 구조작업을 위하여 크게 세 가지 형태의 잠수체계(Diver Stage Diving, Wet Bell Diving 및 Scuba Diving)를 보유하고 있다. 어떠한 잠수체계를 활용하더라도 잠수요원이 잠수작업 완료 후 상승 시에는 잠수병 예방을 위하여 잠수작업수심 및 잠수 총 시간에 해당하는 감압표에 따라 감압절차를 준수하여야 한다. 감압절차는 크게 수중감압방법과 수중 및 함상감압을 병행하여 수행하는 방법으로 나뉘게 된다. 특히 수중 및 함상감압을 함께 수행하는 방법의 경우 U.S Navy Diving Manual에 따라 수중감압에서 함상감압으로 넘어가는 단계인 Surface Interval이 5분을 초과하지 않아야 한다. 하지만 실선 테스트결과 Wet Bell Diving에서 Surface Interval이 5분을 초과하는 문제점이 발생하였다. 이에 본 논문에서는 모든 가능한 원인을 식별하여 원인분석을 실시하고, 이를 바탕으로 개선된 Wet Bell Diving의 측정결과를 나타내었다. 그 결과 개선된 잠수체계의 실선 테스트에서 Surface Interval이 5분 이내 만족함을 확인하였다. 본 논문의 연구결과는 향후 잠수체계의 운용 및 개선에 유용한 자료로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.
