AIRCRAFT OXYGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM, AND AIRCRAFT COMPRISING SUCH AN AIRCRAFT OXYGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM
AIRCRAFT OXYGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM, AND AIRCRAFT COMPRISING SUCH AN AIRCRAFT OXYGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM
An aircraft oxygen supply system includes at least one oxygen mask, an oxygen supply, and a pressure reducer, interposed between the oxygen supply and the at least one oxygen mask. The pressure reducer includes a housing, a piston, which is axially movable within the housing a high pressure inlet, which is provided on a high pressure side of the housing and which is coupled to the oxygen supply, a pressure reducing gas flow path, connecting the high pressure inlet and an axial gas flow channel within the piston, a reduced pressure outlet, which is provided on a reduced pressure side of the housing and to which the axial gas flow channel opens, and a pressure control chamber, which extends radially from the reduced pressure outlet and which is interposed between the housing and a reduced pressure end face of the piston.
