ENERGY HARVESTING FOR THE ELECTRONIC REGULATION OF OXYGEN FLOW

摘要

A method and system for powering an oxygen regulation, metering, or control device for an aircraft's emergency oxygen supply system. A passenger safety unit includes a flow control device connected to a supply of oxygen, and an energy harvesting device that converts waste energy to electrical energy that may be stored in an energy storage device. The control of the oxygen flow is powered using the energy storage device using electrical energy obtained from the waste energy.
