Study Notes
Oxygen Bottle Safety System
- An overboard discharge line is connected to the safety outlet to prevent oxygen buildup in the bottle storage area.
- The overboard discharge line terminates at a port on the aircraft skin.
- A green plastic disk on the line ruptures if a bottle's safety device opens, indicating a potential oxygen leak.
- The discharge line connects to multiple oxygen bottles, including those for the passenger system.
- There can be more than 10 oxygen bottles connected to the same discharge line.
- If the green disk fractures, all bottle gauges must be checked to identify the bottle that triggered the discharge.
Oxygen Bottle Safety System
- Oxygen bottles in an aircraft are connected to a common overboard discharge line to prevent oxygen buildup within the storage area.
- The discharge line terminates at a port on the aircraft's exterior.
- A green plastic disk is fitted at the discharge port, designed to rupture if the safety device of any bottle opens.
- The aircraft can carry more than 10 oxygen bottles, including for the passenger system, all connected to the same overboard discharge line.
- If the green disk ruptures, indicating a safety valve activation, each bottle gauge must be checked individually to identify the specific bottle that triggered the discharge.
