Sorry. Just reread the question.

I would guess that on a 1.3 setpoint you're going to have a PPN2 of 0.3 no matter what you do. Irrespective of how much N2 is off-gassed, your PPO2 is fixed (by the controller), your loop volume is fixed (by the user venting as necessary) and so I don't see how the PPN2 can change.

Put it another way, if you're right, and N2 is off-gassed in significant quanitites into the loop, I would expect you to start your deco on minimum loop volume and after 50 minutes your loop volume would have increased significantly. If it doesn't increase (which I guess it doesn't) then it's not a problem.

Laters,
Janos

PS - I'm a bit worried by the fact I can talk the talk without even owning a unit! Scary stuff. Probably means I'm talking crap too.
