Oxygen delivery system · explained
Continuous Flow
The standard oxygen delivery on Atlas One. While the chamber holds you at pressure, a mask delivers oxygen at a steady, constant stream the whole session. Around 70% effective oxygen efficiency, which suits most daily session rhythms.

How it works
- 01
Concentrator on
The Atlas One AIO unit produces a high-oxygen supply and feeds it to your mask.
- 02
Chamber pressurises
Pressure rises to your set point (1.5–2.0 ATA) while you settle in with the mask on.
- 03
Oxygen streams to you
The mask delivers oxygen at a steady, constant rate the whole session. It keeps flowing whether you are breathing in or out, so around 70% of it is taken in per breath.
- 04
Session ends
Pressure releases gradually, the chamber returns to ambient, you remove the mask and step out.
Best for
- Daily restorative session rhythms: 45–75 minute dwells
- Buyers prioritising the included standard system over the absolute highest oxygen efficiency
- Anyone who wants a simple, always-on oxygen stream rather than a breath-matched setup
- Stepping into hyperbarics at home before deciding whether to upgrade to BIBS
Continuous Flow, answered.
Why not 100% oxygen efficiency?
The oxygen streams at a steady, constant rate rather than matched to your breathing, so some of it passes by in the moments between breaths instead of being inhaled. Around 70% effective on average is the practical figure.
Does the oxygen keep flowing the whole session?
Yes. The concentrator runs for the full session, so the mask delivers a steady, constant stream from the moment you are up to pressure until the session ends.
Can I switch to BIBS later?
Yes. BIBS is an upgrade you can add at purchase or after install. Pricing lands in your custom Atlas One quote.
Is Continuous Flow enough for my session goals?
For most daily session rhythms, yes. If your session goals depend on the highest oxygen purity at every breath, BIBS is the upgrade. Get my custom plan and quote to talk it through.
Summary
Continuous Flow is the standard oxygen delivery system on the Atlas One hard-shell hyperbaric chamber by Hyperbaric HQ. The chamber holds the user at pressure while a mask delivers oxygen at a steady, constant stream for the duration of a session. Because the flow is constant rather than matched to breathing, effective oxygen efficiency is around 70% per breath. Continuous Flow is the included standard system, designed for daily restorative session rhythms. BIBS is the upgrade for buyers who want close to 100% effective oxygen efficiency via a breath-matched mask that delivers on inhalation and exhausts the exhaled breath.
