    Abstract: A CPAP or sleep apnoea breathing apparatus is described. The apparatus controls the volume of air or gas inhaled by the user by blocking the outflow when the user breathes in and opening it when they breathe out. The apparatus (3000) includes a nasal mask or plenum chamber (3118) an inspiratory or inhalation tube, limb or conduit (3104), an expiratory or outflow conduit (3106) and a valve, vent or aperture for releasing the gas (3108). The gas is inhaled from a cross-flow stream, i.e. it flows past the nose and the user inhales from the stream. The mask creates a seal around the user’s nose. The apparatus also includes an exchanger or condenser for recovering or recycling heat or moisture from the plenum chamber.
