The heating circuits (34, 36) are independently and selectively electrically energized through separate power circuits (72, 76) such as to control the temperature in each limb (22, 24) in a desired fashion so as to reduce rainout in the breathing circuit and particularly in the expiratory limb (24).7 2/2 0 00 3 03: aa_ 0 0 K >- f) F,0 cr Er 0 w I
