17
Q

whats a SOV on an oxygen bottle

A

shut off valve

18
Q

what pressure safety device do oxygen bottles have

A

disc that breaks over a certain pressure

19
Q

whilst refilling bottles what is there a danger of

A

heat concentration

20
Q

how is oxygen transported to the flight deck

A

through lines and manifolds

21
Q

what 5 types of valve are found in high pressure oxygen systems

A

filler valve, check valve, shut off valve, pressure reducer valve, pressure relief valve

22
Q

what are oxygen shut of valves designed to open

A

slowly

23
Q

what is the use for the portable oxygen bottles

A

emergency or first aid use

24
Q

what 2 types of masks can be used with the portable oxygen

A

full face mask, continuous flow mask

25
Q

when are smoke hoods used

A

when fighting a fire or preventing breathing in smoke

26
Q

when must a oxygen cylinder not be refilled and why

A

if the psi is below 50, moisture may have entered the bottle

27
Q

what is used for leak testing oxygen systems

A

soapy leak check fluid

28
Q

what are the different regulators called that dispense the oxygen

A

continuous flow, demand flow

29
Q

whats the difference between demand and continuous oxygen masks

A

demand only releases oxygen on the inhale, continuous releases oxygen forever even on the exhale

30
Q

what does a diluter-demand type regulator do

Q

in the oxygen release system what do vent holes allow

A

oxygen to mix with the cabin air

34

portable type, fully integrated type

36
Q

what is the EOC

A

emergency oxygen container

37
Q

what is OBOGS

A

on board oxygen generating system

38
Q

what aircraft is OBOGS usually used on

A

military aircraft

39
Q

what is a FCU

A

flow control unit

40
Q

where are oxygen system blowout discs located

A

fuselage skin

41
