Overview

Introduction

Transfer Under Pressure (TUP) Systems play a critical role in Submarine Rescue and many other diving environments. JFD's TUP system allows decompression to take place in a controlled environment on deck. When used in conjunction with a Submarine Rescue Vehicle and Transfer Chambers, a patient need never experience an unwanted pressure change.

JFD also produces the systems which allow transportation of personnel at controlled pressure; from the moment they are rescued, to the moment they arrive at the decompression system on deck or at a dedicated hyperbaric facility.

One-Man Reception Chambers

"7 Alphas", or One Man Reception Chambers allow patients to be transported, at pressure from a rescue vehicle, lifeboat or other pressurised environment to a hyperbaric facility or on-deck decompression facility. The 7A's are easily maneuverable and offer great flexibility in tough situations.


Universal Deck Reception Chambers

JFD's Universal Deck Reception Chamber allows for the reception and transfer of casualties to and from One Man Reception Chambers, with no interruption to the managed pressure.

TUP Interfaces

JFD produces Transfer Under Pressure equipment which act as the interface between decompression chambers and submarine rescue equipment.

The image right shows JFD's TUP interface which allows James Fisher's LR5 submarine rescue vehicle to be operated from the Swedish ship, Belos.
