    Figure 16-28. An oxygen blowout plug on the side of the fuselage indicates when pressure relief has occurred and should be investigated. Chemical oxygen systems are unique in that they do not produce the oxygen until it is time ... used. This allows safer transportation of the oxygen supply with less maintenance. Chemical oxygen-generating systems also require less space and weigh less than gaseous oxygen systems supplying the same number of people. Long runs of tubing, fittings, regulators…

  • Chapter 16: Cabin Environmental Control Systems › Oxygen System Servicing › Servicing Gaseous Oxygen

    Oxygen System Servicing Servicing Gaseous Oxygen Gaseous oxygen systems are prevalent in general, corporate, and airline aviation. The use of lightweight aluminum and composite storage cylinders has improved these simple and reliable life support systems. All gaseous oxygen systems require ... servicing and maintenance. Various procedures and requirements to perform these functions are covered in this section. Leak Testing Gaseous Oxygen Systems Leaks in a continuous-flow oxygen system may be difficult to detect because the system is open…

  • Chapter 7: Aircraft Systems › Oxygen Systems › Servicing of Oxygen Systems

    Servicing of Oxygen Systems Before servicing any aircraft with oxygen, consult the specific aircraft service manual to determine the type of equipment required and procedures to be used. Certain precautions should be observed whenever aircraft oxygen systems ... serviced. Oxygen system servicing should be accomplished only when the aircraft is located outside of the hangars. Personal cleanliness and good housekeeping are imperative when working with oxygen. Oxygen under pressure creates spontaneous results when brought in contact with petroleum…
