SECTION III. THEORY OF OPERATION (CONT)<br />
1.12.2 Exhalation. As the soldier exhales, the inlet valve disk seats against the inlet<br />
valve gasket to prevent the soldier from inhaling exhaled air. Also, the nosecup valve<br />
disks seat against the nosecup seats to prevent exhaled air from entering the eye cavity<br />
which results in fogging of the eyelenses. Exhaled air is then directed to the outlet valve<br />
disk, which is forced open. The<br />
overall result of the outlet<br />
valve disk opening the nosecup<br />
and inlet valve disks closing is<br />
that the facial seal is<br />
maintained. Exhaled air flows<br />
past the outlet valve disk and<br />
into the outlet valve cover,<br />
where it is directed outside the<br />
mask<br />
