The '''CO2 Scrubber''' takes [[CO2|CO<sub>2</sub>]] from the [[atmosphere]] and outputs it into [[Pipe|pipes]] when powered. The output can be fed into an [[Air Reprocessor|air reprocessor]] or [[tank]], it requires an output to function, otherwise it immediately becomes blocked. | The '''CO2 Scrubber''' takes [[CO2|CO<sub>2</sub>]] from the [[atmosphere]] and outputs it into [[Pipe|pipes]] when powered.

It stores 20 CO<sub>2</sub>, if the output is blocked. It scrubs ca. 6.5 CO<sub>2</sub> per second from the atmosphere and delivers it through its output. As one person exhales ca. 3.87 CO<sub>2</sub> per minute, ca. one CO<sub>2</sub> scrubber is needed for every 100 people aboard a starship. | |||
