2. High altitude breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

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

   Bottled oxygen, more broadly known as high pressure compressed oxygen, medical oxygen, and aviator's oxygen, is oxygen in small, portable, high-pressure storage cylinders. For aviation, the weight of the cylinder is usually not critical, and the choice of material may be affected by economic considerations such as purchase price and useful ...

3. Oxygen breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_Breathing_Apparatus

   A sodium chlorate oxygen candle in the base of the unit generates oxygen on start-up as the canister has to reach a high internal temperature before it will start generating oxygen. The circulation of exhaled air containing carbon dioxide through the canister starts the chemical process, usually taking less than five minutes to reach a stable ...

4. Self-contained breathing apparatus - Wikipedia

   Demand: 2000 psi to the regulator from the main valve, plus a bypass valve in case of failure, with a two-stage regulator reducing pressure to 50-100 psi. Pressure-Demand : Similar to demand, but with a spring in the diaphragm, which holds the admission valve open, for continuous air flow to the facepiece.

5. Primary life support system - Wikipedia

   The interior of the Apollo PLSS Diagram of the A7L PLSS and OPS, with interfaces to the astronaut and the Lunar Module cabin. The portable life support system used in the Apollo lunar landing missions used lithium hydroxide to remove the carbon dioxide from the breathing air, and circulated water in an open loop through a liquid-cooled garment, expelling the water into space, where it turned ...

6. Oxygen tank - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_tank

   Oxygen tanks are used to store gas for: medical breathing (oxygen therapy) at medical facilities and at home (high pressure cylinder) breathing at altitude in aviation, either in a decompression emergency, or constantly (as in unpressurized aircraft), usually in high pressure cylinders; oxygen first aid sets, in small portable high pressure ...

7. Oxygen therapy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_therapy

   Oxygen therapy, also referred to as supplemental oxygen, is the use of oxygen as medical treatment. [1] Supplemental oxygen can also refer to the use of oxygen enriched air at altitude. Acute indications for therapy include hypoxemia (low blood oxygen levels), carbon monoxide toxicity and cluster headache.
