Contaminant Evaluation of Helicopter Oxygen System.

Abstract

A new aircrew oxygen delivery system using multiple sodium chlorate oxygen generators was tested for contaminant offgassing to assure physiological compatibility under anticipated use conditions. Measurements were made of oxygen flow, temperature, pressure, purity, and contaminant analyses for chlorine, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, total hydrocarbons, and water vapor in the breathing oxygen. The system met all specifications for oxygen purity and contaminant content under both normal and emergency use conditions.
