Study Notes

Oxygen Supply Systems

Two methods exist for supplying oxygen to a system: chemical and gaseous.
Chemical oxygen supply systems utilize Emergency Oxygen Containers (EOCs) for stowage.
EOC doors are electrically operated and each has a solenoid.
Solenoids can be activated automatically by a pressure switch or manually from the cockpit.
Each EOC houses oxygen masks and a chemical generator that produces oxygen.
Oxygen is not immediately available when an EOC door opens and masks fall out.
Tightening the lanyards by pulling the masks initiates the oxygen generation process.
