NITROUS OXIDE BASED OXYGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM

摘要

A self-contained system which converts nitrous oxide to a breathable gas mixture of nitrogen, and oxygen. In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, a portable system is disclosed wherein liquid nitrous oxide is converted to a breathable gas mixture of nitrogen, and oxygen. The decomposition occurs over a catalyst bed which is all contained in a small reactor (24). The invention is useful for underwater, fire fighting, and other space applications.
