  2. Rebreather - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebreather

    The Savox was an oxygen rebreather with a use duration of 45 minutes. It had no hard casing and was worn in front of the body. [16] Siebe Gorman Salvus – Industrial rescue and shallow water oxygen rebreather; Siebe Gorman Proto – Industrial rescue rebreather set; IDA71 – Russian military rebreather for underwater and high altitude use ...

  3. Diving rebreather - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_rebreather

    A Diving rebreather is an underwater breathing apparatus that absorbs the carbon dioxide of a diver's exhaled breath to permit the rebreathing (recycling) of the substantially unused oxygen content, and unused inert content when present, of each breath.

  4. Underwater breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_breathing_apparatus

    Underwater breathing apparatus can be classified as open circuit, semi-closed circuit, (including gas extenders) or closed circuit (including reclaim systems), based on whether any of the exhaled gas is recycled, and as self-contained or remotely supplied (usually surface-supplied, but also possibly from a lock-out submersible or an underwater habitat), depending on where the source of the ...

  5. Oxygen mask - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_mask

    An oxygen mask is a mask that provides a method to transfer breathing oxygen gas from a storage tank to the lungs. Oxygen masks may cover only the nose and mouth (oral nasal mask) or the entire face (full-face mask). They may be made of plastic, silicone, or rubber. In certain circumstances, oxygen may be delivered via a nasal cannula instead ...

  6. Oxygen breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_Breathing_Apparatus

    The Oxygen breathing apparatus (OBA) is a closed circuit oxygen rebreather. used primarily in firefighting by the US Navy. Its oxygen is generated by chemicals contained in the green canister, which is inserted at the base of the breathing device.

    non-rebreather mask A non-rebreather mask (NRB) is a device used to deliver supplemental oxygen to a spontaneously breathing person. An NRB allows the delivery of relatively high concentrations of oxygen while using a constant flow rate, with relatively low waste, by accumulating the oxygen flow during exhalation in a soft bag, to be inhaled at ...

  8. Halcyon RB80 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halcyon_RB80

    The 8–10:1 counterlung volume ratio of the RB80 provides substantial gas extension, with a loop oxygen fraction lower than the feed gas composition. The decrease in oxygen fraction depends on the supply gas oxygen concentration and the operating depth. The difference is less at greater depth, but can be quite large at shallow depths. [1]

  9. High altitude breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_altitude_breathing...

    A closed circuit oxygen rebreather is the most efficient in terms of oxygen use, but is relatively bulky and requires the use of a carbon dioxide absorbent, which must either be sufficient for the oxygen supply, or must be periodically replaced.
