Applications
Airlocks are used in
aviation, certain airplanes are equipped with airlocks for skydiving, and/or emergency exits.
spacecraft and spacestations , to maintain the habitable environment when persons are exiting or entering the craft.
hyperbaric chambers, to allow entry and exit while maintaining the pressure difference with the surroundings.
submarines, diving chambers, and underwater habitats to permit divers to exit and enter.
torpedo tubes and escape trunks in submarines are airlocks.
cleanrooms, protected environments in which dust, dirt particles, and other con**inants are excluded partially by maintaining the room at a higher pressure than the surroundings.
hazardous environments, such as nuclear reactors and some biochemical laboratories, in which dust and particles are prevented from leaking out by maintaining the room at a lower pressure than the surroundings.
pressurized domes such as the USF Sun Dome and BC Place Stadium, where pressure loss would cause collapse of the structure.
electron microscopes, where the interior is near vacuum so air does not affect the electron path.
parachute airlocks, where airfoil collapse due to depressurization can result in dangerous loss of altitude. |
