Definitions
- the present disclosure relates generally to emergency oxygen supply systems and, more particularly, to intelligent controllers for oxygen systems for aircrafts.
- Emergency oxygen supply systems are commonly installed on aircraft for the purpose of supplying oxygen to passengers upon loss of cabin pressure at altitudes above about 12,000 feet.
- Such systems typically include a face mask adapted to fit over the mouth and nose which is released from an overhead storage compartment when needed.
- Supplemental oxygen delivered by the mask increases the level of blood oxygen saturation in the mask user beyond what would be experienced if ambient air were breathed at the prevailing cabin pressure altitude condition.
- the flow of oxygen provided thereby is calculated to be sufficient to sustain all passengers until cabin pressure is reestablished or until a lower, safer altitude can be reached.
- Each such face mask may have a reservoir bag attached thereto into which a constant flow of oxygen is directed upon deployment of the system and upon activation of the individual face mask via a pull cord.
- the oxygen is supplied continuously at a rate that is calculated to accommodate a worst-case scenario, namely to satisfy the need of a passenger with a significantly larger than average tidal volume who is breathing at a faster than average respiration rate in response to cabin pressure loss at a maximum cruising altitude.
- a total of three valves that are associated with the mask serve to coordinate flows between the bag and the mask, and between the mask and the surroundings.
- An inhalation valve serves to confine the oxygen flowing into the bag to the bag while the passenger is exhaling as well as during the post-expiratory pause and at all times also prevents any flow from the mask into the bag.
- the inhalation valve opens to allow for the inhalation of the oxygen that has accumulated in the bag.
- the dilution valve opens to allow cabin air to be drawn into the mask. The continuing flow of oxygen into the bag and through the open inhalation valve into the mask is thereby diluted by the cabin air that is inhaled during the balance of the inhalation phase.
- the exhalation valve opens to allow a free flow from the mask into the surroundings while the inhalation valve closes to prevent flow from the mask back into the bag. All three valves remain closed during the post-expiratory pause while oxygen continues to flow into the reservoir bag.
- the oxygen supply system includes a source of oxygen, a passenger service unit, and a main controller.
- the passenger service unit includes a face mask configured to facilitate a flow of a bolus volume of oxygen from the source of oxygen, and a sensor configured to detect at least one of an ambient pressure, an airflow in a first direction, or an airflow in a second direction.

- a schematic of a main centralized intelligent controller e.g., main controller 101
- the main controller 101 may include a communications module 140.
- the communications module 140 is configured to determine a pressure and/or temperature reading from sensors 106 and send a signal to the PSUs 110, 120, 130 in response to the determination.
- the communication modules 140 of the main control system 101 is further configured to initiate the OCA 126 and manage the delivery of oxygen to the passengers.
- Activation of an individual passenger interface is accomplished by selecting a face mask and breathing thereinto.
- An exhalation is detected by a sensor (e.g., sensor 106) which causes controller 101 to open the inlet valve that is associated with the face mask to allow the influx of oxygen.
- the oxygen system 100 includes reservoir bags such that the inlet valve that is associated with the face mask allows the influx of oxygen into the associated reservoir bag.
- the controller 101 is configured to calculate the volume of oxygen needed in light of the ambient cabin pressure measured via an ambient pressure sensor and closes the inlet valve after an appropriate period of time.
- the controller 101 is configured to calculate the volume of oxygen needed in light of a rate of airflow (e.g., a passenger's breathing pattern) being above a predetermined threshold.
- the system's oxygen pressure may be regulated to a level such that the desired volume of oxygen is deliverable to the reservoir bag well within the period of time needed for exhalation.
- the delivered oxygen may be held in the reservoir bag.
- the inhalation valve allows all the oxygen within the reservoir bag to be inhaled to fill the passenger's lower lung lobes where the most efficient oxygen transfer takes place.
- the controller 101 is configured to deliver oxygen without the reservoir bag.
- the face mask e.g., face mask assemblies 114, 124, 134, 1434 are configured to facilitate a flow of the accumulated volume of oxygen from the source of oxygen (e.g., OCA 126).
- the sensor 106 detects at least one of an ambient pressure, an airflow through the face mask in a first direction, or an airflow through the face mask a second direction.
- airflow in the first direction may indicate an inhale by the passenger and airflow in the second direction may indicate an exhale by the passenger.
- the controller 106 may determine at least one of the ambient pressure, the airflow being in the first direction, or the airflow being in the second direction, and command delivery of oxygen from the source of oxygen to the face mask in response to the determination.
- the inlet valve of the passenger service unit e.g., PSU 110, 120, 130, 140
- the controller controller remains closed with the airflows in the first direction, and the controller controllers the inlet valve to open in response to the airflow flowing in the second direction.
- the configuration of the system causes the frequency with which the oxygen is delivered to match the frequency of the respiratory rate of the passenger breathing therefrom. Should the volume of oxygen that is received by a particular passenger fail to satisfy that particular passenger's oxygen demand, the respiratory rate would be expected to increase to thereby increasing the frequency with which the allotments of oxygen are delivered to the passenger. Conversely, should the volume of oxygen that is received by a particular passenger during each respiratory cycle exceed such passenger's oxygen requirement, the passenger's respiratory rate would be expected to decrease, thereby decreasing the net flow of oxygen to the passenger.
- the efficiency of an emergency oxygen supply system is maximized and oxygen consumption is minimized.
- Such an increase in efficiency allows the size of the oxygen supply to be reduced when compared with less efficient systems such as are currently in use and thereby allows a substantial weight reduction to be realized.
- the weight reduction in turn translates into a reduction in an aircraft's fuel consumption and/or an increase in payload capacity.
- Controller 102 may further be configured to calculate the remaining oxygen in the bottle and predict when the bottle will be depleted and generate a notification accordingly. Having the centralized controller 102 creates more space in the PSU to increase the amount of stored oxygen, or provide more space for masks which will help reduce tangles during deployment.
- the controller 102 is configured to controller the plurality of PSUs 110, 120, 130 in lieu of the local controller (e.g., controllers 111, 121, 131).
- the oxygen system 100 may be configured to have the capacity to support the plurality of controllers 102 such that, if an intelligent controller fails, then its responsible oxygen panels will be reassigned to other controllers. The oxygen system 100 thus provides redundancy in a safety critical system.
- the controller 102 may be configured to perform health monitoring, and report issues to the flight crew or schedule maintenance. Health status and operational status can be sent to a flight crew screen and inform them if one panel or valve is not operational so that the crew member can act accordingly.
- the oxygen system 100 may be integrated with other smart interior systems to provide information to the flight crew without duplicating hardware components.
- a plurality of intelligent controllers e.g., controller 102 may be used to dispense oxygen to passengers.
- the OCA 126 may be located outside of the oxygen box of the plurality of PSUs 110, 120, 130.
- the OCA 126 may be connected to the oxygen panels with plastic or steel flexible tubing, along with quick disconnects or threaded connections.
- the weight of the oxygen system 100 is reduced by reducing the number of OCAs on the aircraft, and larger lighter weight composite cylinders may be used in the oxygen system 100. Further, removing the OCAs from the PSUs will allow for a more reliable mask pack and easier maintenance checks.
