4 Oxygen Systems and Regulators
* Continuous-Flow Systems * Demand-Flow Systems * Flow Indicators * Oxygen Plumbing and Valves
26
It allows oxygen to exit the storage tank through a valve and passes it through a regulator/reducer attached to the top of the tank.
CONTINUOUS-FLOW SYSTEM
27
Once the ______ is opened, the flow of oxygen is continuous.
VALVE
28
It is hinged over each row of seats in an AIRLINER.
PASSENGER SERVICE UNIT (PSU)
29
They are normally stores behind a separate hinged panel.
4 YELLOW Continuous Flow Oxygen Masks
30
They are simple devices made to direct flow to the nose and mouth of the wearer.
CONTINUOUS FLOW OXYGEN MASKS
31
It allow cabin air to mix with oxygen and provide escape for exhalation.
VENT HOLES
32
When oxygen is delivered only as the user inhales, or on demand, it is known as ___________________.
DEMAND-FLOW SYSTEM
33
A recent development in general aviation oxygen systems is the _________________________.
Electronic Pulse Demand Oxygen Delivery Systems (EDS)
34
It is made to connect between the OXYGEN SOURCE and the mask in a continuous-flow oxygen system.
SMALL, PORTABLE EDS UNIT
35
It delivers timed pulses of oxygen to the wearer on demand, saving oxygen normally lost during the hold and exhale segments of the breathing cycle.
FLOW INDICATOR SMALL PORTABLE EDS UNIT
36
It makes up most of the oxygen system PLUMBING and connect the various components.
TUBING and FITTINGS
37
It is used deliver oxygen to the masks, its use is increasing in permanent installations to save weight.
FLEXIBLE PLASTIC HOSING
38
5 Types of Valves
Filler Check Shutoff Pressure reducer Pressure relief
39
It specifically designed to open slowly.
OXYGEN SHUTOFF VALVE
40
Shutoff valve has ____________ and _______________ to slow the flow of oxygen through the valve.
FINE-PITCH THREADS REGULATING STEM
41
It is also included to assure the valve closes completely.
SOFT VALVE SEAT
