OXYGEN(ATA 35)

 Anoxia is due to lack of O2

 The diluter demand regulator functions when user breathes in.
 O2 cylinder test dates are painted in white on the cylinder
 O2 cylinders normally fitted with pressure and quantity gauges.
 A demand regulator in a portable O2 bottle opens when breathing
 Portable O2 bottles fitted with a demand regulator
 Principle of O2 generator-Sodium chlorate and iron
 Pressure of O2 cylinders-1800PSI
 O2 storage cylinder, once charged turned on and safety wire-locked.
 Overpressure of O2 cylinders-Green rupture disc
 Life of a/c O2 cylinder-5years
 Discharged chemical generator-change in color
 Chemical O2 generator has supply duration of at least 15minutes
 Pressure breathing sys used at altitude >40,000 ft
