Oxygen Flashcards
Supply Of Oxygen To Crew is from
Gaseous oxygen
Supply of oxygen to passengers
Chemically generated from gas generators above seats
15-20 minute oxygen supply
Automatic deployment of oxygen is at
Excess cabin altitude of 15,000ft
Crew oxygen supply pressures
Stored at 1800 psi
Reduced to 80-100psi before distribution
8 psi at mask
Diluted Demand Oxygen Regulator
Mixes oxygen and cabin air to supply the correct ratio according to altitude
Also referred to a pressure demand oxygen system
Each member of crew has a regulator
Chemical Generator System
Contains mixture of sodium chlorate and iron powders in steel cylinder
Uses electrically operated firing mechanism
Masks automatically eject from PSU by mechanism controlled by Mario metric unit
How many masks should be supplied for flight
10% more outlets than seat
PulseOx System
Individual gaseous oxygen cylinders at each PSU
Controls flow from cylinder according to sensed demand from passengers
+ saves weight
Portable Oxygen - Normal Flow/High flow duration/capacity
Normal flow - 2 litres a minute
High flow - 4 litres a min
1800psi/120 litres capacity
Aviation oxygen bottles are what colour
Black or green
Marked AV02
Continuous flow oxygen system
Continuously independent of users demand or cabin altitude
EMERGENCY selected on diluted demand system will give
100% oxygen continues flow at positive pressure
Normal Operation of diluted demand regulator
Diluted oxygen supplied to mask
Oxygen mix increases up until cabin altitude of 32,000ft where 100% is supplied
Replenishment of onboard oxygen bottles must be done with
Engine off due to oxygen igniting more easily and burn far more rapidly.
Remove all sources of ignition
Smoke hood
Covers the whole head
Chemical air regeneration system
Supply constant flow of oxygen for 12/15 minutes
