COMPARISON STUDY OF LIQUID OXYGEN (LOX) SUPPLY SYSTEM TO AN ELECTROCHEMICAL OXYGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM
Abstract
The current operational LOX system cost and a newly proposed LOX system cost are compared in the light of procurement, transportation, and operation expenses. The comparison also covers non-cost elements, such as ease of erection, uniform fuel used, fire hazards, etc. An electrochemical oxygen concentrator system is also described, showing a tangible and intangible cost projection on a squadron level of operation. The procurement and installation costs of aircraft on-board equipment is not considered in any systems. The final section compares both LOX systems with the concentrator system; cost, equipment, and intangible items are estimated to show the savings per squadron that can be realized with the concentrator system in a 90-day period.
