Abstract

A gas blender for use with home ventilation equipment where pressurized oxygen is mixed with ambient air, in which a double ended poppet cooperates with two valve seats which are configured and orientated so that axial motion of the double ended poppet simultaneously opens both valves to maintain a constant flow ratio, or simultaneously closes both valves to maintain a constant flow ratio. One of the valve seats may be adjustably positioned to determine the initial flow ratio of gases through the valve seats.
