Yes, the reaction is exothermic, which helps make the scrubber efficient, but once the scrubbed air returns to the cabin, that heat is lost to the surroundings very quickly. Certainly, I wouldn't expect it to approach the same magnitude as the metabolic heat produced by the occupant(s), plus whatever your electronics are putting out. Have you measured your cabin temperature over the course of a dive in cold water?</div>

When I travel to my dive site, I will turn on the scrubber while the sub is hot inside and it can get warmed up before I dive. I put a PWM controller on the fan but it performs best at full speed.</div><div id="yiv4443570363yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1487183234485_4559">The new Radial scrubber alone keeps up just fine (1700 PPM ) with the sensor at the front of the sub and the circulation fan!
