Right one is a "simplified" version of the left picture. White diagonals represent the filters which filter out a certain gas each from the Waste In -gasmix. White cross near the left side represents the mixer which mixes two gases into one (N2 and O2 into a breathable air mix). | ||

The tanks (the small rooms in space just outside of Atmos) of the station's atmospherics network, unlike in the rest of the station, are rooms filled with very high pressure of the appropriate gas. The output of these rooms are controlled by their respective Supply Control Computer, an on/off valve, and an output pump for each loop. Note that '''these rooms can be depleted''', especially if [[Traitor|someone]] makes a hole in a tank's external wall. | The tanks (the small rooms in space just outside of Atmos) of the station's atmospherics network, unlike in the rest of the station, are rooms filled with very high pressure of the appropriate gas.
