have adequate positioning of the exhaust and inlet hoses.
Borman
I think really to solve the whole problem, if you want to
design efficient cooling for suits off operation in space­
craft, design it the same as you would on the ground.
Lovell
Right, I think you are right.
Borman
You would have no problem. For instance, in J110st 0£ the
airplanes now that are pressure cooled the flow is so great
across them that you have a continuous flow patte:r.n 1n there,
coming out usually .f.'.rom one inlet located up around you:r
right shoulder a.nd a couple 1n around your feet. I don't
think you have to worr:, about the bll88,boo of no convection
in zero g because it is overshadowed by the large kinetic
energy input through the l arge amount of air.

Cabin pressure was 5.5 on lift-off, came dow.n to 5.1 and
st!cy-ed there exactly 5.1 for 14 dqs. It did not move when
we jettisoned the ad&pter and went on the bottles, it stqed
exactly 5.1. The only time I saw it move was on the water
when we used all the o:zyge. up and it went to ze:ro.
Borman
Well, i t was below 5.1 when we opened the :Inlet Snorkle.
Lovell
Inlet Snorkle.. yes, that is right.
Borman
You were talking about the inlet bottle pressure.
Lovell
Yea, tb&t•s right, the bottle pressure.
