	A gas mixer is a fancy version of the gas pump. It allows you to combine the gas flow of two different pipes and mix them into a single pipe. The gas mixer will combine the contents of two different pipes and will give you the option of setting the percentage of throughput you want on each of the input pipes. The primary port will be parallel with the output while the side port will be perpendicular.		A gas mixer is a fancy version of the gas pump (and also pumps gas up to a pressure of 4500 kPa).

	Gas filters are another special type of gas pump. Gas filters are primarily used to extract a specific individual type gas from a pipe. They function similarly to the gas mixer, except they have one inlet port and two output ports. When gas flows through a mixer the selected gas to be filtered out will exit the perpendicular outlet port while all other gases will continue to flow down the parallel outlet port. If you wish to filter out more than one gas you will need to set up gas filters in series for each specific gas.

	Gas vents ~~come in three varieties: Standard~~, ~~Dual-port~~, ~~and Passive~~.		Gas vents are used to move gas from pipes into the surrounding atmosphere. They are mostly used as part of the distro network to provide breathable air to the station, and are already part of all stations at the start of a shift. Notably, gas pipes that have an open end instead of being connected to a vent ''don't'' move gas from the pipe to the atmosphere.

	~~All gas~~ vents ~~are solely used~~ to ~~move~~ gas from ~~pipes into~~ the ~~surrounding~~ atmosphere.		Gas vents come in three varieties:
	~~Gas~~ vents ~~are commonly used in conjunction with the distro loop to distribute breathable air to the station~~. ~~Gas vents and the distro system are responsible for replenishing the atmosphere~~ on ~~the station~~.		* '''Standard''' - A standard air vent will only allow a maximum pressure of 101.3 kPa to flow. If the external pressure is higher than the limit, no gas will flow out of the vent, but gas from the atmosphere never enters a pipe through a standard vent (see passive event below). Requires power to function.
			** In the event that a room is spaced and pressure is lost (meaning atmospheric pressure goes below 80 kPa), standard vents enter a 'pressure lockout' mode that stops them from pumping gas directly into space. This pressure lockout can be released manually by right-clicking on a vent, but if atmospheric pressure is still below 80 kPa it will lock again after a few seconds.

	A ~~standard~~ air vent ~~will only allow~~ a ~~maximum pressure of 101.3 kPa to flow. If the external pressure is higher than the limit, no gas will flow out of the~~ vent~~. Requires power to function~~.		* '''Dual-port''' - A dual-port air vent is exactly like a standard air vent but it has two inlet connection ports.

	~~A dual~~-~~port air vent is exactly like a standard air vent but it has two inlet connection ports.~~		* '''Passive''' - A passive air vent does not require power and will allow any pressure to flow in '''both''' directions depending on the internal and external pressures.

			===Pneumatic Valve===
			[[File:Pneumatic valve.png]] Pneumatic valves have three ports: control, inlet, and outlet. Like manual valves, pneumatic valves permit bidirectional flow between the inlet and outlet, but only if the pressure at the control port is high enough.

			To turn a pneumatic valve on, the control pressure must be at least 1 atm higher than the lowest pressure connected to the pneumatic valve, i.e. the lesser of the inlet and outlet pressures. The direction of flow between the inlet and outlet is from higher to lower pressure.

			The flow rate limit of the pneumatic value is linear (proportional to control pressure) in a small region above the on threshold. It then saturates at 200 L/sec.

			====Design Examples====
			'''Pressure Relief Valve'''

			[[File:Pressure relief system.png]]

			This pressure relief system drains the air inside to space if the pressure exceeds 1 atm, which can be used to guard against accidental station overpressure events. A passive vent inside (1) is connected to the control and the inlet. Another passive vent in space (2) is connected to the outlet. Since the outlet pressure is 0 kPa, then the pneumatic valve will only be on if the inside pressure exceeds 1 atm. When that happens, air from inside is transferred into space until the inside pressure is equal to 1 atm.

	This pressure relief system drains the air inside to space if the pressure exceeds 1 atm, which can be used to guard against accidental station overpressure events. A passive vent inside (1) is connected to the control and the inlet. Another passive vent in space (2) is connected to the outlet. Since the outlet pressure is 0 kPa, then the pneumatic valve will only be on if the inside pressure exceeds 1 atm. When that happens, air from inside is transferred into space until the inside pressure is equal to 1 atm.

	Air scrubbers slowly suck gas out of the surrounding atmosphere and can be found spread around the station. Mostly used in the waste loop, air scrubbers will syphon gas out of the atmosphere and shunt it along the waste loop where the gas will then be recycled and filtered into the gas holding chambers.		Air scrubbers slowly suck gas out of the surrounding atmosphere and can be found spread around the station. Mostly used in the waste loop, air scrubbers will syphon gas out of the atmosphere and shunt it along the waste loop where the gas will then be recycled and filtered into the gas holding chambers. By default, scrubbers are set to scrub the surrounding air of all gases except oxygen and nitrogen. You can set them to siphon if you want to suck in all gasses, or you can configure them to scrub whichever gasses you like. To do so, note the scrubber name and go to the air alarm to modify the relevant scrubber. Note that siphoning can be a good way to decrease room pressure.

	Air scrubbers must be powered and connected to an outlet port in order to function. A properly functioning air scrubber will be glowing blue.		Air scrubbers must be powered and connected to an outlet port in order to function. A properly functioning air scrubber will be glowing blue.
