ON-BOARD GENERATION OF OXYGEN FOR AIRCRAFT PILOTS

摘要

The present invention provides a system and method for supplying and managing oxygen suited for use on-board an aircraft for providing breathable oxygen to pilots and cockpit crew. Components of the system work together to optimize oxygen utilization while reducing costs from maintenance and added weight of traditional pressurized gaseous cylinders. Components include a rapid oxygen supply (108) for immediate use in emergency situations, an on-board oxygen generator (OBOG) (110), a controller (102), a pulsed oxygen delivery subsystem (116) that detects inhale/exhale phases and adapts to physiological requirements, and a breathing mask (130) for each pilot and cockpit crew member.
