Abstract: An apparatus for creating gas flow cycles comprises a housing defining a chamber (80) provided with gas functions and a passage (76) for connection with an equipment to be tested. A unit movable in the housing throttles the passage. The position of the unit (75) is controlled by electrical signals received from a control unit. Sensors supply electrical signals representative of the position of the mobile assembly and of the pressure. The junctions are provided for connection with gas sources at different pneumatic pressures through solenoid valves.

Abstract: A regulating apparatus for supplying a receiving unit with gas from a pressurized source comprises a valve piloted by a two-position solenoid valve controlled by a computer which receives data from pressure sensors. When used as a demand breathing regulator, the apparatus has a main valve for connecting a source of pressurized breathing gas and a breathing mask and a pilot diaphragm subjected to the pressure in the mask. A sensor senses the movements of a diaphragm or the pressure in the mask. A solenoid valve controls the pressure in a pilot chamber of the main valve.
