decompression chamber
decompression chambern. A compartment in which atmospheric pressure can be gradually raised or lowered, used especially in readjusting divers or underwater workers to normal atmospheric pressure or in treating decompression sickness.decompression chamber n (General Physics) a chamber in which the pressure of air can be varied slowly for returning people from abnormal pressures to atmospheric pressure without inducing decompression sickness hy′perbar′ic cham′ber
n. a steel vessel in which atmospheric pressure can be raised or lowered by air compressors, used to treat aeroembolism and to provide high-oxygen environments for certain medical procedures. [1960–65] decompression chamberSee: hyperbaric chamber.Translationsdecompression chamber
decompression chamber[dē·kəm′presh·ən ‚chām·bər] (engineering) A steel chamber fitted with auxiliary equipment to raise its air pressure to a value two to six times atmospheric pressure; used to relieve a diver who has decompressed too quickly in ascending. Such a chamber in which conditions of high atmospheric pressure can be simulated for experimental purposes. decompression chamberA chamber used to induce a decrease in ambient pressure as would occur in ascending to altitude. This type of chamber is primarily used for training and experimental purposes. Also called altitude chamber, environmental chamber, and hypobaric chamber.decompression chamber
