8.3 Assemblies
8.3.1 Housing
The housing is the supporting assembly for the rebreather and serves to fasten all
components to each other. The housing is made of a particularly robust, fiber-
reinforced material, an elastic lid on the back protects the inner components,
especially the breathing bags, from damage. Some assemblies, such as the oxygen
pressure reducer and the switch device with supply hoses, are permanently
installed and are not removed for cleaning by the user during normal operation.
8.3.2 Compressed gas cylinders
Depending on the operation mode, two pressurized gas cylinders are provided for
use of the rebreather, one oxygen cylinder which is attached to the bottom of the
device, and one mixed-gas cylinder which the diver carries with him or her, for
example, on the back in the carrying harness.
