The Mechanical Oxygen System Versus Common Chemical Oxygen System In Aircraft

Sayed Sina Hesami

Bachelor Of Aircraft Mechanical Engineering

Aircraft has cabin air systems that control pressurization, airflow, filtration, and temperature. The purpose of these systems is to provide a safe and comfortable cabin environment, and to protect all cabin occupants from the physiological risks of high altitudes. A common danger that would coming around in emergency situation in depressurization of the passengers cabin which caused lack of oxygen for breathing that bring hypoxia result. Designers made some system to compensate that oxygen called chemical oxygen generators which works very well at that situation but sometimes create some fires accidents due to high temperature oxygen generated, and also transcending and storing such chemicals is no danger free. The Accidents previously happened encouraged me to think about a different system that can produce oxygen in a safer media called mechanical oxygen generators. My system generates oxygen from compressed air of engines and send this oxygen to oxygen masks for occupant breathing air at emergency cases. I shall do compare my system with the FAA requirements and policies to be sure about the validation of this theory.
