<p><span class="autocomment">Description: </span> italics</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== Description ==<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Environmental Sealing&#039;&#039;&#039; is a series of filters, air tanks, hermetic seals, and scrubbers that allow a unit to operate in hostile environments like the vacuum of space, under water, or toxic waste dumps. All [[BattleMech]]s, [[aerospace fighter|aerospace]] and [[conventional fighter]]s, [[DropShip]]s, and submarine vehicles include environmental sealing as part of their construction. This sealing takes up no additional weight or space as it&#039;s built into the unit. Other units, like [[IndustrialMech]]s and combat vehicles, can be equipped with environmental sealing at a cost of 10% of the unit&#039;s weight.&lt;ref name=&quot;TMp216&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;TechManual&#039;&#039;, p. 216, &quot;Environmental Sealing&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref name=&quot;TOp302&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;Tactical Operations&#039;&#039;, p. 302, &quot;Environmental (Vacuum) Sealing&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Support vehicles may incorporate environmental sealing into their design process (see TM p. 133). &lt;ref name=&quot;TMp216&quot;&gt;&#039;&#039;TechManual&#039;&#039;, p. 216, &quot;Environmental Sealing&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Combat vehicles don&#039;t need to allocate any additional space for the sealing. However, IndustrialMechs need to allocate additional room in their chassis for the environmental sealing systems.&lt;ref name=&quot;TMp216&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Any unit with Environmental Sealing is able to negotiate shallow water (Depth 1), but to operate in space or underwater effectively a unit needs to have a [[Fusion engine|fusion]], [[Fission engine|fission]], or [[Fuel cell|fuel cell]] engine. (An [[ICE]] requires oxygen to operate, which is obviously not available underwater.)&lt;ref name=&quot;TMp216&quot;/&gt;<br /> <br /> Environmental Sealing is understandably very popular on IndustrialMechs. It&#039;s used on the [[PM6 Peacemaker|PM6 &#039;&#039;Peacemaker&#039;&#039;]] to protect against [[Tear Gas]]&lt;ref&gt;&#039;&#039;Jihad Turning Points: Atreus&#039;&#039;, p. 17, &quot;PM6 Peacemaker Recordsheet&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; and the &#039;&#039;[[Vampyr]]&#039;&#039; to protect the pilot from toxic chemicals.&lt;ref&gt;&#039;&#039;Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex&#039;&#039;, p. 202, &quot;SC-V-1 Vampyr ScavengerMech&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == Bibliography ==<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[Jihad Turning Points: Atreus]]&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[TechManual]]&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[Technical Readout: 3026]]&#039;&#039;<br /> * &#039;&#039;[[Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex]]&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category: Technology]]<br /> [[Category: Equipment]]</div>
