figures (hypercapnia) minimal. Inhalation resistance is in-
credibly low and unaffected by depth and breathing pattern
Because of the unique Poseidon valve technology, there is
no need for external adjustments.
Xstream is fitted with the new ergonomic mouthpiece Posei-
don AIR, with asymmetrical lugs for the most comfortable
bite.
All diaphragms are protected so that a strong current or
using a scooter or tug does not affect either inhalation or
exhalation.
A minimal number of moving parts, coupled with
thermodynamic engineering, ensures the safe use in an
extremely cold environment.
XSTREAM 1:ST STAGE
The first stage is a balanced rolling diaphragm ball valve
producing extreme leaktightness.
Conventional designs are sensitive to wear, misalignment,
and manufacturing precision. A ball always finds its correct
place.
Combined with the 2nd stage, the enormous capacity of the
1st stage make the regulator meet the EN 250 breathing
performance requirements even at as low as 16 bar (232
psi) cylinder pressure. This means that you gain an extra 34
bar (493 psi) of gas compared to most other regulators!
The Xstream construction requires less o-rings than any
other regulator. Except for sealing the blind screws (3-4),
there is just 1 sealing o-ring (semi-static) in the bottom-
mounted versions and 2 in the side mounted.
The hose routing is developed to be optimised for a redun-
dant system, using two regulators. The HP ports are positio-
ned to accommodate the use of gas monitoring computers
e.g. first stage mounted HP sender/receive units.
