W.P. 011 00 Flashcards
The Portable Oxygen System is supplied in one basic configuration that is composed of
96 cubic inch high pressure oxygen cylinder, oxygen regulator, delivery hose, filler line and one way charging check valve assembly, with supporting unit frame and strap assembly.
Supply oxygen pressure of
2000 psig is stored in the 96 cubic inch oxygen cylinder
Then the oxygen regulator on/ off toggle (green) is turned to the on position,
inlet oxygen pressure is reduced down to 32 to 35 psig.
With the diluter toggle (white) in the normal position,
air/oxygen dilution will occur on demand up to approximately 30,000 feet.
With the diluter toggle in the 100% position,
100% oxygen will be supplied upon demand up to approximately 27,000 feet where the automatic positive pressure feature begins to function
When using the emergency toggle, the diluter toggle should be
in the 100% oxygen position
