Okay. I've seen this kind of collapsing-bag-adds-gas setup on a
diagram for an (old) military pure O2 rebreather. Makes a lot of
sense.

The (old) Biomarine I saw SEEMED to have two manually controlled 
valves, one for the O2, the other for the diluent (the sphere is 
clearly marked "diluent"), so I naturally assumed that a computerized 
version would likewise have a solenoid.
