As far as we know the Atlas has the best Work of Breathing on the CCR (Closed Circuit Rebreather) market. This is achieved with some interesting little features, but first and foremost with the use of a hose with a wider diameter, allowing for less turbulent airflow.
Our DSV (Diver Switching Valve) is additively manufactured out of a cutting edge material stronger and lighter than Delrin.
The proprietary umbrella valves fitted on either side of the DSV were designed specifically to improve the EoB (Ease of Breathing) when compared to standard mushroom valves.
Most CCR manufacturers use two counter lungs for inhale and exhale. The Atlas uses a single counter lung designed to feed any water entering the loop into the bottom of the canister, where it
It also improves heat retention within the unit.
The system has the added effect of reducing the loop volume thereby improving the EoB (Ease of Breathing).
