Stop asking this. Several people, including me, have answered your question already. Doubting 15-25LPM cuz of stress/panic during your CTB is literally the definition of fear mongering when people in this forum have CTB'd with it. Stress/panic will NOT affect how much air you breathe (not enough to make a significant difference).
As others have said, when youre in movement, you require more air. High performance athelets or people running out of a burning building may require more than 25LPM of air. Unless you plan on CTB'ing doing jumping jacks or running a mile with a large nitrogen tank on your back, between 15-25LPM will suffice
At rest, the average male breathes anywhere from only 5-10 litres per minute. 25LPM is 2.5x that larger amount. Its more than enough No amount of stress or any other mental gymnastics you do in your head can change that.
If you are somehow still unsatisfied, get a regulator that allows 40LPM or 100LPM or whatever number satisfies you and use it.
Its perfectly valid to be skeptical and have your concerns but for fucks sake the fear mongering is running rampant lately
This is my last post in this thread, I will leave it to the small group of experts we have here, me as an amateur with zero understanding of this method, and close to no technical knowledge/experience (comparing to you guys of course) that question things will just result in fear mongering, and I don't see it likely that I can be a part of a productive discussion.
But don't tell people what they can discuss or not.
The answer you gave was not an answer to my question. I asked about "What was his reasoning behind this" According to Greenberg it could apparently cause other problems. And if it can then it's certainly a VERY valid question, because I can't see the risks with 40lpm with an inert gas, when it's not a risk for breathing oxygen (Or maybe it is, and you need to contact the large producers of EEBD rescue hoods so they can hire you as consultants.
I mean it could save them from a possible law suit if for example the lung pressure mm Hg is so high so it could cause damage.
And this comment from you
If you are somehow still unsatisfied, get a regulator that allows 40LPM or 100LPM or whatever number satisfies you and use it.
do you think that's a good comment, if someone read this and use 100lpm in a eebd hood, going up to levels as high as 100lpm, that would be something that could cause problems because of the pressure.
I think some people here need to climb down from their high horses. I DON'T see myself as an expert, I don't have enough data to see what is suitable or not, and neither have you guys, so people who are interested in discussing even things that you might see as small details that doesn't matter, should be allowed to discuss without you screaming "fearmongering"
Ps. I'm not interested in discussing more here, I do my tests myself with breathing oxygen and measure co2 levels at different lpm.
