Hi all,
I am currently designing a fixed oxygen system for a 4 place single. Typical system with 40 cu ft, charge on bottle at the baggage comp., discharge panel, flow fuse, warning light and mechanical gauge. I have yet to argue with the Feds for not having a system (typically cable or electric) for the pilot to turn on and off the system (FAR 23.114x). Protection against the line rupturing is provided by the solenoid valve.
Alt. is FL180, four passengers.
I may use a pressure transducer (about 800$) and display the signal on the MFD, but need to route to a converter first for analog to digital conversion.
Initially, at least on the POC, I will try and certify the system with four nasal outlets. Quite cheap. I may use masks instead later on.
I would like to compare my design and price estimation with other airplane systems (T182, 36 Bonanza series, the mooney with the fixed oxygen and the Saratoga TC). Every manufacturer's website I visited provided minimum system info, some just price, some just saying "fixed oxygen optional".
I would like to know duration and capacity, price, basic system schematic of those airplanes. An illustrated parts catalog would be very nice. Does anyone know where can I get those? Also if you have any input on the system, please share.
I will post this thread on more than one forum, sorry if you read it twice.
