35.13 OXYGEN DISTRIBUTION (CREW) System Description
A rigid duct connects the supply maniflod to the masks assy via flexible hoses.
They are fitted with self sealing coupling for easy disconnect.
The crew oxygen mask consists of:
- an inflatable harness,
- a regulator knob,
- a microphone,
- an airtight facepiece equipped with: a manual valve which supplies oxygen through a flexible hose and permits demisting of the anti smoke
goggles.
35.13 OXYGEN DISTRIBUTION (CREW) System Operation
The regulation diaphragm, held by a spring, closes the control circuit of the main valve.
The main valve, submitted to control pressure on its entire surface, closes the user circuit.
Harness inflating:
By pressing on the right clip, the pressure oxygen is sent to the harness. When the clip is released, the oxygen is discharged out.
Normal supply inhalation:

Inhalation: The regulation diaphragm, subjected at a negative pressure, opens the main valve control. The main valve, under the effect of the
control pressure variation, opens the circuit. The user breathes a mix of O² / air. The air quantity is regulated by the aneroid capsule.
Normal supply exhalation:

Exhalation: Under the effect of the pressure, the regulation diaphragm closes the main valve control. It also lifts from its seat to allow the exhaled
mixture out. The main valve closes the user circuit. The overpressure valve evacuates the O² accumulated in the regulation diaphragm.
Pure O² supply:
When the normal / 100% selector is in 100% position, the ambient air inlet is closed. The user breathes pure 0².
Constant positive pressure supply:

Operation of the regulator, under a constant positive pressure, is enabled through the emergency rotation knob. The normal / 100% selector is in
the normal / 100% position to supply pure oxygen.
When emergency rotation knob is selected, permanent pressurization of the regulation diaphragm prevents closure of the main valve's control
circuit. This operation can be temporary by pushing on the continuous button and turning the knob in the clockwise direction (locking). The
pressure of oxygen depends on the valve regulation, which prevents excessive pressure in the chamber.

35.20 PASSENGER OXYGEN System Description
The passenger fixed oxygen system ensures that the passengers are supplied with oxygen in the event of a loss of "cabin pressurization".
The fixed oxygen system supplying the passengers is connected to the supply manifold of the flight crew supply system.
The pax feed stop valve enables passenger oxygen supply by direct action of the crew on the flight compartment control and monitoring panel.
Number of supplied passengers = 25% simultaneously
The system comprises a fixed installation supplying pax masks uniformly distributed in the passengers compartment.
35.20 PASSENGER OXYGEN System Description
To re-examine the various pictures of the components, click on their representation.
35.20 PASSENGER OXYGEN System Operation
During inhalation, the inhalation and diluter valves open, allowing an air/oxygen mixture into the mask.
During exhalation, the exhalation valve closes and the exhaled air is evacuated out of the mask.
During exhalation, the reservoir bag receives the oxygen from the distribution system, avoiding any loss of oxygen between the inhalation and
exhalation cycles, thus limiting oxygen consumption to the user's requirements.
The flow indicator, installed on the flexible supply line, serves to check oxygen supply to the user.
