Oxygen Systems Flashcards
What is the total pressure of atmospheric air at sea level
14.70 psi or 760 mm HG
What causes physical problems when you go higher in altitude
gasses in body and changes in atmospheric pressur
What causes hypoxia
lack of O2 in body tissue
What causes an individual to have the bends
nitrogen bubbles around large body joints
What is the normal charge for high pressure oxygen storage cylinders
1800-1850 PSI
Up to what altitude does the demand oxygen system deliver oxygen
up to 35,000 feet
At what altitude does the requirement for pressure demand equipment start
above 35,000 feet
What is the limit of continuous flow oxygen systems
30,000 feet
What is the purpose of the 180 degree disconnect swing on the CRU-60/P
to allow straight pull disconnect during ejection
Why does the E O2 port on the CRU-60/P swivel
to receive the supply connector from above or below
Why is the CRU-60/P equipped with an anti suffocation valve
to warn when disconnected from O2
Normally, how often do you preform a leak test on oxygen connector CRU-60/P
30 days
What is the first thing you check during the 60/P’s inspection
emergency oxygen inlet fitting is screwed on the elbow tight
What are the three lubricants approved to be applied on the O ring of the 60/P
krytox, braycote, halocarbon
What do you adjust the restraing chord to
1-7/16in +- 1/16
How much force is required to disconnect the male friction connector in the oxygen regulator from the mask connection
12-20 lbs
What is the maximum allowable leakage when testing the connectors
250 SCCM
EPOS is good up to what temperature
1832F or 1000C
Lithium hydroxide panels hold CO2 build up in the EPOS hood to what percentage
4% or lower
How does the passenger oxygen mask function
as a modified continuous flow system with reservoir bag
During exhalation cycle where is incoming oxygen stored
reservoir bag
What is involved in the visual inspection of the passenger oxygen mask
- check face peice for holes, cuts, tares, ect.
- check valves for damage and proper operation
- check resivor bag for damage or imperfection
- check tubing for cremp marks, damage, and kinks
- check headstrap for distortion, elasticity, and clenliness
