A diving regulator is a pressure regulator that reduces pressurized breathing gas to ambient pressure and delivers it to the diver. The gas may be air or one of a variety of specially blended breathing gases. The gas may be supplied from a scuba cylinder carried by the diver or via a hose from a compressor or high pressure storage cylinders at the surface in surface-supplied diving. 1, record 3, English, - diving%20regulator

An inspirator mixer, does not require a blower but does require high pressure gas,(can be dangerous) and is not very economical or efficient. The tip or nozzle is usually always a flame retention type tip. The reason this burner requires high pressure gas is that the gas needs to be moving at a high rate of speed in order to induce enough air for proper combustion. It is usually used for propane and in a situation where no electricity is available. If you have high pressure gas it is recommended that you use a regulator and switch to an aspirator mixer type system. 3, record 15, English, - inspirator%20mixer

A gas-air proportioning device that causes the flow of combustion air to induce the proper amount of gas into the airstream. It is used with low pressure air and zero gas. 2, record 16, English, - aspirator%20mixer
Record number: 16, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The premix aspirator burner system is very common and is probably the simplest of all the burner systems... This system does not require high gas pressure gas(1 lb. or above). It does require a blower as well as a zero pressure regulator. The aspirator mixer is actually a device that intimately mixes the air and gas to insure complete combustion. This mixture goes through a venturi tube and exits at the burner tip where it combusts. 3, record 16, English, - aspirator%20mixer

A device which regulates the flow of gas from a high pressure source in response to a reduction of pressure at its outlet. In aircraft breathing systems the gas is either oxygen or a mixture of air and oxygen and the flow from the regulator to the face masks is controlled by the pressure fluctuations in the mask produced by breathing. The flow of gas from a demand regulator matches the instantaneous inspiratory flow of the user. 1, record 23, English, - demand%20oxygen%20regulator
