Closed-loop rebreather system which includes pilot provides oxygen for use in aircraft by safe, reliable method of low weight and size and reduces expense of ground equipment. Water electrolysis generated oxygen is fed into rebreather loop which allows nitrogen elimination and water and carbon dioxide removal.
Vented hydrogen is converted into water by mixing hydrogen with sufficient air to ensure that a flame cannot be maintained and then passing it through a reactor containing palladium catalyst; reaction takes place at relatively low temperature. Device may have wide range of applications for air purification.
Counter lung, incorporated in closed-loop rebreathing system, accommodates user's breathing tidal volume so that the loop pressure is relatively constant during breathing cycles.
