Internal components include an oxygen bottle which provides oxygen to the system; breathing chamber where oxygen is mixed with the operator's exhaled air; and a blue ice coolant canister that cools the breathing air. The inhalation breathing hose provides air to a one-size-fits-all face piece and the exhalation hose returns the operators exhaled air to the breathing chamber. The rebreather is equipped with a pressure gauge, a manual oxygen bypass valve and an audible alarm whistle to alert the operator to a low oxygen supply. 1-9
