Continuous Flow of Breathing & Cooing Air
Oftentimes the amount of air available in a compressed air breathing apparatus is insufficient. There is an air-connect port & control valve used to connect to an external source of breathing air. Plus inside the suit, the compressed air breathing apparatus is connected to the air-connect port via an automatic switchover valve or Y adapter. When the external air source is connected and pressure achieved, breathing air is supplied by an external source. Should the external source fail, breathing air is provided by the internal compressed air breathing apparatus.
