Oxygen systems

Primary and secondary oxygen regulators

Eaton’s primary and secondary oxygen regulators are part of the portable life support unit of an astronaut’s extravehicular mobility unit (EMU), more commonly known as a spacesuit. These motor-controlled regulators are used to manage ventilation pressure within the spacesuit assembly to accommodate an astronaut's oxygen demand or when the primary pressure control module becomes disabled.
