The EnviroSealTM System provides a vehicle with gas-tight (or watertight) seals. Note that opening windows, doors, or hatches breaks the integrity of the seal for as long as the windows, doors or hatches remain open. Note also that this system does not provide life support for a vehicle's occupants. For submersible operations, a vehicle's engine compartment must be sealed separately. Note that an engine seal only seals the engine from water: Internal combustion engines (methane, gas, diesel and Jet) must still have a method of drawing in air from the surface. (In most cases, this effectively limits internal combustion engines to operating at a depth lust below the water's surface.) Unmanned vehicles. such as drones, only require the engine seal option to operate underwater.
Light damage to a sealed vehicle breaches the seal.Emergency slap-patches that can handle holes made by light damage are available at a modest Cost of 5 nuyen each. Of course, some contamination may penetrate even if the hole is sealed relatively quickly. Moderate vehicle damage or worse cannot be sealed without work on the vehicle.
EnviroSealTM is not available for motorcycles or vehicles with "open" entry points.
Cabin over-pressurization: This additional option is available with all EnviroSealTM systems. A Cabin over-pressurization system uses air pumps to increase the air pressure inside the vehicle's Cabin, so that external contaminants are kept out of the vehicle if a window, door or hatch is opened or a light damage breach occurs. This option is commonly incorporated in emergency rescue, decontamination and reconnaissance vehicles designed for use in hazardous, toxic or NBC (nuclear/biological/chemical) contamination areas.
Cabin over-pressurization does not work underwater or if the vehicle sustains Moderate or greater damage.
