The operation of a 500-cc compressed nitrogen driven propane bubble chamber at cycling rates up to 15 cpa is described. A vapor pressure of 310 psi is found as optimum with a 540-psi compression pressure and a 7% volume change. The chamber was expanded into a 170-psi exhaust chamber. Excessive boiling and sensitive time are related to the cycling rate and expansion time. (auth)
