AC ENVIRONMENT AND AUXILIARY SYSTEM2 Flashcards
It is VERY IMPOTENT for human for breathing.
OXYGEN
A lack of oxygen causes a person to experience a
condition
HYPOXIA
Altitude = Increase
Oxygen = Decrease
Density Of Air = Decrease
ALTITUDE = INCREASE
OXYGEN = DECREASE
DENSITY OF AIR = DECREASE
About __________ we are able to get oxygen directly through the atmosphere without any equipment
40,000 FEET
TWO WAYS
1) Increase the pressure of the oxygen or
2) Increase the quantity of oxygen in the air mixture.
Nitrogen: 78%
Oxygen: 21%
Carbon dioxide:
Argon:
All others:

3 Types of Oxygen
GASEOUS OXYGEN
LIQUID OXYGEN
SOLID OXYGEN
It is COLORLESS, ODORLESS, and TASTELESS GAS at normal atmospheric temperatures and pressures.
OXYGEN
Oxygen transforms into a liquid at _______.
-183ºC
The combination of oxygen with most elements and numerous compounds.
OXIDATION
Oxidation produces _____.
HEAT
Pure oxygen combines violently with __________ products creating a significant hazard
PETROLEUM
Pure gaseous oxygens are typically painted _________.
GREEN
Technicians should be cautious to keep pure oxygen away from fuel, oil, and grease to prevent unwanted combustion.
Technicians should be CAUTIONS to keep pure oxygen away from fuel, oil, and grease to PREVENT unwanted combustion.
It could prevent delivery of the oxygen when
needed.
ICE
Aircraft often operate in _____________________, increasing the possibility of icing
SUBZERO TEMPERATURES
Passing electric current through water separates the oxygen from the hydrogen.
ELECTROLYSIS OF WATER
Color of Liquid oxygen (LOX)
PALE BLUE
TRANSPARENT LIQUID
A special container is used to store
and transport liquid oxygen.
DEWAR BOTTLE
A insulation design to keep the liquid oxygen under pressure at a very low temperature.
DOUBLE-WALLED
It is used nearly exclusively in military aviation.
LIQUID OXYGEN (LOX)
Those are formed chunks of sodium chlorate wrapped inside insulated stainless-steel housings to control the heat produced when activated.
SOLID OXYGEN CANDLES
The chemical oxygen supply is often ignited by a __________________ that when pulled, releases a hammer that smashes a cap creating a spark to light the candle.
SPRING-LOADED FIRING PIN
Sodium chlorate chemical oxygen generators also have __________________, making them perfect as a standby form of oxygen.
