DIVING EQUIPMENTS
Air Decompression Chamber with Remote Control Panel
J. K. Subsea Engineering Pvt. Ltd. is an air decompression chamber manufacturer and supplier for commercial diving and offshore operations. Our Air Decompression Chamber with Remote Control Panel, Model No. JK-ADC-RCP, is a 60 inch twin lock chamber with an entry lock, a main lock and a stainless steel medical lock. Its control panel sits in a separate room, so the operator runs the chamber from a safe distance instead of standing beside the pressure vessel. The shell is built to ASME Section VIII Division 1 and PVHO-1 (2022), with DNV TPI approved drawings and a DNV stamped nameplate, and the design follows IMCA D018 and D023.

What is the Air Decompression Chamber with Remote Control Panel?
An air decompression chamber lets divers come back to surface pressure in steps after an air dive, and it is the main safety unit on a diving job. On most chambers the control panel is fitted on top of the shell. On the JK-ADC-RCP, the remote operated control panel is placed in a separate room, away from the chamber.
That change matters to the operator. You control the chamber from a safe distance, you spend less time near the high pressure zone, and the layout is easier to work with over a long shift. The panel carries depth gauges, a therapeutic gauge, a gas analyser, a regulator, a communicator, a monitoring screen and a DVR, and a battery backup keeps it running for up to 8 hours if the power fails.
The chamber itself is a 60 inch (1500 mm) twin lock shell that holds 2 persons in the entry lock and 4 in the main lock. It has 3 viewports, a NATO type mating front manway, and saddle mounts. Inside you will find a CO₂ scrubber, lights and a camera in both locks, a built in breathing system, a hyperbaric fire extinguisher, fire retardant mattresses and more. As an air decompression chamber manufacturer and supplier, we build the shell to ASME PVHO rules with TPI approved drawings, and the data sheet lists every fitting by model number.
Key Features of the Air Decompression Chamber with Remote Control Panel

- 60 Inch Twin Lock Shell: An entry lock and a main lock let an attendant enter while a diver stays under pressure.
- Stainless Steel Medical Lock: Passes food, medicine and small items in and out without a full depressurisation.
- ASME PVHO Rated Build: Constructed to ASME Sec VIII Div. 1 and PVHO-1 (2022) in SA 516 Gr. 70 material.
- TPI Approved Drawings: Fabricated to DNV TPI approved drawings, with a DNV stamped nameplate on the shell.
- NATO Type Front Manway: A mating type manway gives a secure entry into the main lock.
- Camera and Light in Both Locks: A hyperbaric light and camera fitted in the entry lock and the main lock, with the picture on the control panel.
- Built In Breathing System: An Amron BIBS supplies oxygen to the person inside from the oxygen line.
- Battery Backup for Up to 8 Hours: Keeps the control panel running through a power cut.
- Monitoring and Recording: A high definition monitoring system with a temperature and humidity indicator and a DVR that stores recorded data.
Applications of the Air Decompression Chamber with Remote Control Panel
Air Diving Decompression: A deck chamber for decompressing divers after air dives.
Recompression Treatment: The therapeutic gauge and twin lock design allow an attendant to enter while a diver stays under pressure.
Dive Support Vessels: A chamber that sits on deck, with the operator working from a separate control room.
Onshore Diving Bases: Suits shore based diving centres that have a room for the control panel.
Safer Operator Position: Keeps the operator away from the pressure vessel during chamber runs.
Fleet Upgrades: A step up for contractors who want the control panel moved off the chamber shell.
