INTRODUCTION:

The aircraft is equipped with three separate oxygen systems:
- Crew (cockpit) oxygen system
- Passenger oxygen system
- Portable oxygen system
Each system is provided with separate controls and indications, and
are completely independent of each other.
Crew Oxygen System
The purpose of the crew oxygen is to supply the cockpit crew with
oxygen in case of a sudden decrease of cabin pressure, and to supply
oxygen in case of smoke or dangerous gasses in the cockpit.
The system is designed for commercial aircrafts with altitudes up to
12000 meters (40000feet).
Passenger Oxygen System
The passenger oxygen system is provided to supply emergency
oxygen to the passengers and the cabin crew, in case of cabin
pressure decompression.
In case of cabin decompression, the masks are automatically
presented.
A manual override switch in the cockpit may be used for mask
presentation.
The emergency oxygen is supplied from chemical oxygen
generators, which is able to supply oxygen for at least 12 minutes.
Portable Oxygen System
The portable oxygen equipment is installed in the cockpit and in the
cabin, the oxygen equipment is used to supply oxygen to the crew
in an emergency and is used to supply oxygen to the passengers for
first aid treatment.

CREW OXYGEN SYSTEM
The crew oxygen is supplied from a high pressure oxygen bottle
located behind the right pilot.
The oxygen is supplied through a pressure regulator to three quick-
donning masks, close to each crew member seat.
The oxygen bottle is equipped with a manual ON/OFF valve and a
direct reading pressure gauge.
A pressure regulator mounted directly on the oxygen bottle supplies
low pressure oxygen (line pressure) to the masks.
A safety outlet on the lower right side of fuselage discharges
oxygen overboard in case of excessive pressure in the cylinder.
A distribution line supplies oxygen to the storage box assemblies
next to each crew station in cockpit, and to an "Oxygen Line
Pressure" indicator on the overhead panel.

M35F1AA-M80/JAN05
Each box is the connecting point for the quick-donning mask. The
mask is stowed in the box until required for use.
When the mask is to be used, the two "mask release levers" are
squeezed, and the mask is pulled up.
When the left door opens, a supply valve permits oxygen flow to
the mask harness, which inflates, and the mask may be put on.
When the mask is in position, release the levers and the oxygen to
the harness stops.
An "OXY ON" flag shows that the door has been opened and the
mask is no longer correctly stowed.
A flow indicator on the right-hand box door blinks to indicate
oxygen is flowing.
A reset/test control slide on the left-hand box door provides testing
of the mask with-out removing it from the storage box.
The mask contains a demand regulator and a microphone connected
to the audio system.

PASSENGER OXYGEN SYSTEM
The emergency oxygen for the passengers and the cabin attendants
is supplied from emergency oxygen containers installed above the
passenger seats, in the lavatories and at the cabin attendants
stations.
Each oxygen container includes a chemical solid-state oxygen
generator with two, three or four continuous-flow oxygen masks.
If the cabin pressure drops, the oxygen container doors opens and
the masks drops out for passenger and cabin attendants use.
The presented masks of each unit hang on a lanyard, when one of
the masks are pulled towards the face, the lanyard initiates the
oxygen generation and supply.
ATA35 Oxygen
M35F1AA-M80/JAN05
If the cabin pressure altitude exceeds 14150 feet, an altitude
pressure switch closes and supplies electrical power to the door
latches.
When the door latch energizes, the oxygen container door opens
and the masks drops out.
When a mask is pulled toward the face, a lanyard connected to each
mask activates the chemical oxygen generator.
A blue "Cabin Oxygen On" light on the OAP illuminates, and is
latched until the circuit breaker is reset.
A guarded "Oxy Mask Eject" switch on the right rear panel provides
override of the altitude switch.
To open the oxygen container door manually, a release tool is used
to release the door latch (solenoid).

COCKPIT CREW OXYGEN SYSTEM:
Oxygen Cylinder
The oxygen cylinder is secured by strap clamps, in an upright
position in the aft right corner of the cockpit.
The cylinder capacity is 2150 liters at a nominal pressure of 1850
psi.
The cylinder includes a manual shutoff valve, and a direct reading
pressure gauge.
An over-pressure safety protection (rupture disc) will discharge the
oxygen, through the over-board blow-out on the right side of the
fuselage if the pressure exceeds 2650 psi.
The over-board discharge outlet is normally covered by a green
disc, which will blow away to indicate a discharge.
Oxygen Pressure Regulation
A pressure regulator mounted to the cylinder head, regulates the
oxygen pressure to a line pressure of 70-94 psi.
A pressure relief valve on the regulator opens if the pressure
exceeds 110 psi.
The line pressure supplied to the masks, is indicated by a line
pressure indicator on the overhead panel, the pressure must be with-
in the green band.
Stowage Box
The front face of the stowage box contains an oxygen flow indicator
(blinker), two doors which opens when the mask is removed, and a
manual "Test/Reset" slide.
When the mask is removed, the left door opens a shut-off valve,
which supplies oxygen to the blinker and the mask.
ATA35 Oxygen System
M35C1AA-M80/MAR05
The "Test/Reset" slide is used to test the mask, with-out removing it
from the stowage box, and to reset the manual "Oxy" flag which
comes into view when the left door is opened.
Oxygen Masks
The oxygen masks are stowed stowage in boxes close to each crew
member station.
Each of the three masks consists of a quick donning oxygen mask,
with an inflatable head-harness, a mask mounted diluter-demand
regulator and a microphone.
The deluter/demand regulator is an integrated part of the mask, with
a N (normal)/100% selector, and an emergency knob.
The selector is normally locked in 100%, this supplies 100% pure
oxygen on demand at all cabin altitudes (with positive pressure
above 28000 feet).
With the selector in N (normal) oxygen mixed with cabin air is
supplied to the mask on demand. The delution is depending on
cabin altitude, above 28000 feet 100% oxygen is supplied.
The emergency knob is placarded "Press To Test" and
"Emergency".
When the knob is pushed to "Press To Test" position 100%
pressurized oxygen is supplied to the mask for test purpose.
When the knob is rotated clockwise to the "Emergency" position
100% pressurized oxygen is supplied to the mask.
An integrated microphone in the mask is connected to the flight
interphone system.

Smoke Hood Portable Oxygen Bottles

The calcium based oxygen generator in the smoke hood delivers
oxygen in a closed-loop breathing system, where the exhaled carbon
dioxide and water vapor are absorbed.
When the starter is pulled, the hood is immediately filled with
oxygen, or oxygen generation starts after two or three breaths.
Standard 120 liters portable oxygen bottles with oxygen masks are
located in the cabin, for first aid use.
The bottle is equipped with a fill valve, a blow-out disc, a direct
reading gauge, a manual shut-off valve, a low pressure relief valve,
and a high (HI) and two low (LO) pressure outlet connections.

To avoid smoke and gasses to enter the system, a positive pressure The HI outlet supplies 4 liters per minute, and the LO outlet
is maintained inside the hood during most of the operating time. supplies 2 liters per minute.

Production of oxygen is demand regulated, this means that the

volume of oxygen generated varies with work-load and breathing
volume.
The generation will stop if the hood is taken off, and is restarted i f
the hood is put back again.

The smoke hood is cable of delivering oxygen for at least 20

minutes under maximum work-load
