2. Diving air compressor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_air_compressor

   Filling a cylinder from the panel Low pressure breathing air compressor intended for use with airline diving equipment. High pressure diving compressors are generally three- or four-stage-reciprocating air compressors that are lubricated with a high-grade mineral or synthetic compressor oil free of toxic additives (a few use ceramic-lined cylinders with O-rings, not piston rings, requiring no ...

3. Diving cylinder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_cylinder

   The term "oxygen tank" is commonly used by non-divers; however, this is a misnomer since these cylinders typically contain (compressed atmospheric) breathing air, or an oxygen-enriched air mix. They rarely contain pure oxygen, except when used for rebreather diving, shallow decompression stops in technical diving or for in-water oxygen ...

4. Aqua-Lung - Wikipedia

   In open circuit free-flow systems, the air is supplied at an approximately constant rate, and the diver uses only a relatively small part of the passing gas. The original Aqua-Lung regulator was a single stage unit, packaged in a circular brass housing mounted on the cylinder valve behind the diver's neck.

5. Pony bottle - Wikipedia

   Some types are also referred to as a compressed air breathing apparatus (CABA) or simply breathing apparatus (BA). Unofficial names include air pack, air tank, oxygen cylinder or simply pack, terms used mostly in firefighting. If designed for use under water, it is also known as a scuba set (self-contained underwater breathing apparatus).

7. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia
