Study on the Performance of High-Pressure Oxygen Cylinder Oxygen Supplemental System in Civil Aircraft Lavatories Based on Airworthiness Oxygen Requirements

This paper focuses on the performance of the high-pressure oxygen cylinder oxygen supplemental system in the lavatory of civil aircraft. Due to the potential safety hazards of chemical oxygen generators in the lavatory, high-pressure gaseous oxygen cylinders are used instead. Through theoretical and study, the influence of the orifice on the oxygen flow rate is thoroughly investigated. Based on relevant principles, the calculation method of the gas flow characteristics in the orifice is determined. Considering the high initial pressure of the oxygen cylinder, the supersonic flow condition within approximately 20 minutes is mainly considered. The Simulink is used to simulate the system flow rate under different temperatures during cabin depressurization. Experimental verification shows that the oxygen flow rate under different temperatures meets the minimum oxygen demand, and the simulation results are highly consistent with the experimental results, indicating that the simulation accuracy meets the airworthiness standards and provides a strong basis for the design and optimization of the system.
