OXYGEN SYSTEM LINE MAINTENANCE (2)

SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The oxygen system consists of:
- crew system,
- passenger system,
- portable system.
The flight crew oxygen system supplies oxygen to the flight crew. It is
used if there is a loss of cabin pressurization or smoke or dangerous gases
in the cockpit.
The oxygen is supplied by a high pressure oxygen cylinder to quick
donning masks in the cockpit.
Passenger Oxygen System
The passenger and cabin attendant oxygen system is supplied by chemical
oxygen generator units located in the cabin, cabin attendant stations,
lavatories and galleys.
Two types of chemical generators are offered which provide oxygen for
15 minutes or 22 minutes.
Portable Oxygen System
The portable oxygen system supplies oxygen to the passengers, the cabin
attendants and the flight crew in an emergency and for first aid treatment.
The Portable Breathing Equipment (PBE) provides breathing means and
eye protection for the flight crew members and cabin attendants.
UAL09471 - U5CT0T0 - UM35BA000000001
It permits them to move freely to extinguish a fire.

The high pressure portable cylinder with continuous flow type masks
supplies first aid oxygen for the passengers.

DAILY CHECK
During the daily check the external walk around will include the visual
check of the crew oxygen cylinder overpressure (Green) discharge disc
to be sure that it is not missing.
The ECAM DOOR/OXY page shows the crew oxygen pressure indication.
If the pressure is less than 1500 PSI for a 77 cuft bottle, an amber half
frame (advisory) is shown for information.
For a 115 cuft bottle, the threshold is 1000 PSI.
In this case, check the AMM. This is to see if the minimum oxygen
pressure available to the flight crew is within the permitted limits.
Refer to the minimum flight crew oxygen pressure chart and find the
Minimum Pressure according to the ambient temperature and the number
of crew members.
If the pressure is less than the minimum flight crew oxygen pressure the
oxygen cylinder must be changed.

Oxygen Properties
The air is made of 21% oxygen, 78% nitrogen and 1% other gases.
The gaseous oxygen is colorless, odorless and tasteless.
The gaseous oxygen is not flammable, but supports combustion.
The gaseous oxygen is heavier than air and can accumulate in low lying
areas.
The oxygen reacts to most metals and organic material.
The reactivity varies with the type of material:
- The reaction can be slow and can cause for example steel oxidation
commonly called rust,
- The reaction can be fast when the oxygen is in contact with petroleum
product, and can cause fire or explosion.

OXYGEN PROPERTIES

Aircraft Oxygen Systems
At high altitude, the pressurization (ATA 21) system maintains a sufficient
air pressure, thus oxygen partial pressure, in the aircraft.
In case of aircraft depressurization the oxygen systems (ATA35) supply
sufficient oxygen partial pressure to the crew and passengers until the
aircraft gets at lower altitude (10000ft).
A lot of those systems use bottle of highly pressurized oxygen.

The Fire Triangle
If one of these elements is missing, no fire / explosion can occur:
- Oxygen,
- Combustible material and,
- An ignition source,
are put together, fire can start and keep on going.

THE FIRE TRIANGLE

The Fire Triangle (continued)
Ignition Sources
The ignition sources are (examples):
- Raw flame (from cigarettes),
- Incandescent particles (from grinding during structure repairing...),
- Electrical overheating (from electrical engines, bad contact),
- Electrical discharge (static electricity, short circuit, mobile-phone
operation, lightning during thunderstorm...),
- Oxygen overheating due to either too high pressure or, quick opening
or closure of oxygen valves (sudden pressurization) or impact on the
oxygen bottle (molecules agitation),
- Traces of hydrocarbon (petroleum product) mixed with pure oxygen.

THE FIRE TRIANGLE - IGNITION SOURCES

Oxygen Enriched Atmosphere
An atmosphere is considered as an oxygen-enriched atmosphere when
the oxygen percentage is 24% and above.
In comparison to a fire in the air, a fire in an oxygen-enriched
atmosphere will be characterized by:
- High in intensity,
- Higher in temperature and,
- Higher in thermal power.
Pure oxygen at high pressure will react violently with materials such
as oil, grease, textiles and rubber, and will get powerfully in fire.
In most cases, a fire that occurs in an atmosphere full of oxygen cannot
be extinguished as long as the cause of fire has not been isolated.
First Aid
Persons getting on fire in an atmosphere full of oxygen cannot get
help directly by a person entering the area. The rescuer takes also the
risk to get on fire.
The victim must be sprayed of water and carried outside in free air as
soon as possible.
The first aid care must be applied immediately and if possible in a
UAL09471 - U5CT0T0 - XM35Y1000000001
specialized care unit for badly burned person.

THE FIRE TRIANGLE - OXYGEN ENRICHED ATMOSPHERE & FIRST AID

Dangers linked to Pressurized Gas
The oxygen is stowed in cylinders at very high-pressure: 1850psi at
21°C, 130kg/cm2. Such a high pressure is potentially dangerous.
Any crack in the pressure wall of pressurized gas system causes a
violent eruption of gas through the crack. The result can be a high or
even violent explosion.
For example, if a valve brakes off a high-pressure cylinder, the
container becomes an unguided missile.
That is the reason why the oxygen cylinders and pressure reducers
must be tested at regular intervals (hydrostatic test every 3 - 5 years
depending on applicable standard / special permit).

THE FIRE TRIANGLE - DANGERS LINKED TO PRESSURIZED GAS

Leak In Confined Area
In Flight the stowage compartments of oxygen bottle are naturally
ventilated through the cabin ventilation system (air flow from DADO
panel to outflow valve).
On the ground, when the aircraft is parked not powered (dead aircraft),
these ventilations are not effective any more.
The oxygen bottle and the distribution lines are installed in confined area.
In the case of oxygen leak, the percentage of oxygen in the air will be
higher.
Oxygen Detector
The oxygen enrichment is not detected by human senses.
An oxygen detector can be used before to get inside an area filled of
oxygen.
If there is too high oxygen concentration in this area, do not go into
this area and ventilate.

Clothes, Skin and Equipment
Clothing, skin and equipment must be free of oil or grease.
Clothes and hair tend to absorb oxygen. Consequently, a person in an
area where the air is filled with oxygen will keep a high concentration
of oxygen. This oxygen stays on for some time. This person must
avoid any source of ignition for 15 minutes, smoking for example.

Hyperventilation Caused by Too Much Oxygen
A person who works in an area filled of oxygen may suffer from
hyperventilation.
Hyperventilation can cause the following symptoms:
- Feeling of dizziness, coldness,
- Tingling in the hands, feet and around the lips,
- Nausea.
In such a case, help the colleague to leave the confined zone. Give
him the instruction to breathe slower and the symptoms should
disappear.

Safety Precautions
Make sure that you use the correct Airbus documentations corresponding
to the aircraft (task in AMM, PN in IPC, SB...). Carefully obey the
maintenance procedure instructions. If you do not obey these instructions,
you can cause a fire or an explosion.
Prevent all maintenance procedures nearer than 5m (16.4ft) from the
working area of the aircraft.
Stop all refueling, and all repairs on fuel and hydraulic systems.
Stop all procedures that use flammable material such as cleaning and
de-icing material.
Stop all operations that cause heat and flame (For example: drilling
holes...).

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Safety Precautions (continued)
During Oxygen Servicing
Put a warning notice in the cockpit, the work area and the cabin to
tell persons not to operate electrical switches during the oxygen filling
procedure.
Electrostatically ground the aircraft and also electrostatically bond
the oxygen charging equipment to the aircraft.
If a thunderstorm can occur, immediately stop all oxygen filling
operations.
Stop the filling procedure immediately if the pressures in each oxygen
cylinder do not increase smoothly and at the same time. Only use
aviator's breathing oxygen as defined by Airbus.
Keep all hydrocarbons (fuels, corrosion protection compounds,
lubricants, etc.) away from all sources of oxygen. Oxygen becomes
explosive when it touches hydrocarbons.
Open the hand-valves of the oxygen cylinder very slowly and turn
them to the fully open position. In the case the hand-valves are not
fully open before flight, the data of the oxygen pressure on the
corresponding ECAM page will not be correct.

Always work with clean clothes and tools. Keep your hands clean
(possibly, wear gloves in cotton). Do not touch connection ends and
interior of oxygen components with bare hands, because skin oil and
bacteria are a source of contamination.
The area around the oxygen components must always be cleaned with
approved cleaner before and after any work done on the system. Any
tool, rag, cloth, or equipment that is not clean and free of oil traces
must not be used or stay in the area around the oxygen components.
Make sure that all oxygen cylinder valves are closed. Due to possible
residual pressure in the line, disconnect the connectors carefully.
Put dry, clean, metal or plastic plugs on all pipes or units removed
temporarily. Put each pipe or unit in a sealed vinyl bag. Unwanted
material in the oxygen system could damage the system or cause
explosion if oil ingress.

CREW OXYGEN MASK UTILIZATION/STOWAGE/TESTS (2)

UTILIZATION
The mask assembly and the stowage box are installed adjacent to each
crewmember seat. The stowage box which contains the mask, also controls
the flow of oxygen when the mask is pulled out of the box. To use the
mask, squeeze the red clips, which will inflate the mask harness; releasing
the red clips will stop oxygen flow to the harness and vent the oxygen
remaining in the harness to the atmosphere. Oxygen flow is indicated by
the blinker showing yellow and an OXY ON flag, which appears on the
left door when closed. The mask regulator provides either normal or pure
oxygen by means of a Normal/100% selector. In the Normal position,
the user breathes a mixture of cabin air and oxygen. When the selector
is in the 100% position, the user will breathe pure oxygen. When the
emergency rotation knob is rotated, the mask regulator supplies 100%
of oxygen at a permanent positive pressure, independent of the position
of the normal/100% selector. To take the mask off, the harness has to be
inflated. This is done by operating the red clips.

PASSENGER GASEOUS OXYGEN SYS D/O (OPTION) (3)

GENERAL SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The passenger gaseous oxygen system supplies oxygen to each oxygen
container in case of an emergency. The rate of the oxygen flow depends
on the altitude. The oxygen supply starts automatically at a cabin pressure
equivalent to an altitude exceeding 14.000 ft (4.265 m) and stops when
the cabin pressure drops below a pressure equivalent to 10.000 ft (3.050
m). The system can than be re-started if the aircraft has to climb to clear
another obstacle. The gaseous oxygen system has no characteristic flight
profile. Since the flow is greater with the altitude, the lower the flight is
done the longer the oxygen supply lasts.
High-pressure oxygen is stored in oxygen cylinder assemblies installed
behind sidewall linings RH in the bulk cargo compartment. The standard
system has 6 oxygen cylinders. Up to 8 oxygen cylinders can be installed
on airline request. When the system is operated, low-pressure oxygen
from the pressure reducers is supplied to the two Main Distribution Lines
(MDLs). One line is installed below the cabin floor along the LH side of
the aircraft. The other line is installed above the cabin ceiling. Riser Lines
(RLs) are connected to the MDLs to supply oxygen to the hat rack lines.
The hat rack lines supply oxygen to the oxygen containers.

PASSENGER OXYGEN SYSTEM DISTRIBUTION
GENERAL
The oxygen distribution lines enable the supply of the oxygen from
the oxygen cylinders in the bulk cargo compartment to the cabin.
The low-pressure oxygen is supplied to the two MDLs. At the
FR47/51, the MDL is split in two: One line is installed below the
cabin floor along the LH side of the aircraft and the other line is
installed above the cabin ceiling. The two MDL are joined again at
FR 26. The area where the MDLs are doubled is the engine burst area.
Then RLs are connected to the MDLs to supply oxygen to the hat rack
lines and to the oxygen containers approximately each 4 frames.

(continued)
INTERMEDIATE LINE LOW PRESSURE SWITCH
The low-pressure switch is installed in the intermediate pressure line
between the pressure reducers and the oxygen regulators. If the
pressure in the intermediate pressure line is not sufficient, the
low-pressure switch generates a warning signal on the Passenger
Oxygen Indication Panel (POXIP) in the cockpit overhead panel. The
decreasing pressure is 6.9 bar (100 psi) and the increasing pressure is
5.5 ± 0.7 bar (80±10 psi).
PRESSURE OXYGEN REGULATORS
Two redundant Pressure Oxygen Regulators (PORs) are installed in
the intermediate pressure line. Each regulator operates the system
independently from the other. The POR integrates a motor driven
SOV. At first the POR integrated motor driven SOV is fully opened
for approximately 6-9 seconds to surge the MDL. After the surging,
the POR measures the ambient pressure (determining cabin altitude)
and the pressure in the MDL just downstream of the POR through
integrated pressure sensors. The POR compares the pressure in the
MDL to the required pressure (depending on cabin altitude) using
UAL09471 - U5CT0T0 - UM35D6000000001
analogue circuits. The motor driven SOV moves to the position

necessary to obtain the correct pressure in the MDL thus supplying
the correct flow to the oxygen masks.
TEST PORTS
The system has three identical test ports. One is installed in the
intermediate pressure line and the other two are installed in the
low-pressure distribution network. These test ports are used for the
connection of test tool for leakage, pressure tests, system function,
and pressure release of the distribution network after installation or
removal of system components.

(continued)
BLEED/VENT VALVE
The bleed vent valve is installed at the most FWD point of MDL
located in the ceiling. After system activation, the valve opens for
approximately 5 seconds to let the air/oxygen mixture contained in
the distribution network be released out of the MDLs and the system
is purged. The bleed vent valve contains an orifice, which lets a small
amount of oxygen escape from the distribution system. The bleed vent
valve also contains a filter protecting the oxygen system from
contamination.
MDL SHUTOFF VALVES
The system has two MDLs SOVs, which are pneumatically controlled.
One MDL SOV is installed in the ceiling MDL just AFT of the rim
release area. The other MDL SOV is installed in the under floor MDL
just AFT of the rim release area. During normal system operation both
MDL SOVs are open in flow direction. There are also two SOVs per
RL installed in the engine burst area. They are installed immediately
after the connection with the main supply line. In normal operation,
the riser line SOVs are open. If the riser line is damaged, the riser line
UAL09471 - U5CT0T0 - UM35D6000000001
SOVs close automatically.

RL CHECK VALVES
The system has two check valves installed. One check valve is installed
in the ceiling MDL just FWD of the engine burst area. The other check
valve is installed in the under floor MDL just FWD of the engine burst
area. In normal operation, the check valves are open. When a main
line is damaged due to uncontained engine rotor failure, the check
valve closes.

SYSTEM ACTIVATION AND RESET
AUTOMATIC MODE
When the cabin pressure decreases to a pressure equivalent to 14.000
ft + 0/- 500 ft (4.265 m) the altitude switch closes. This starts the
automatic operation of the oxygen system. The Pressure Oxygen
Regulators (PORs) open fully to purge the Main Distribution Line
(MDL), measure the cabin altitude of the A/C and the pressure in the
distribution network. The POR adjusts the pressure in the distribution
line to the required oxygen pressure in order to obtain the correct flow.
The POR does not require any software.
MANUAL MODE
If the altitude SW fails, the MASK MANual ON P/B can be pushed
at any time to start the operation of the oxygen system. The MASK
MAN ON P/B sends a signal to open the PORs. POR operation is the
same as in automatic mode.

SYSTEM OPERATION
After system activation in either Automatic or Manual mode, the
bleed/vent valve first bleeds the remaining air in the lines and then
closes to let the system fill with oxygen. The SYStem ON light comes
on as soon as one POR is open. An emergency announcement is
transmitted over the passenger address system. The oxygen masks
container doors open pneumatically and the masks fall. Oxygen only
flows to the masks, which are pulled down.
RESET
The OXYGEN TiMeR RESET P/BSW is used to reset the electrical
circuit after the system operation. When the OXYGEN TMR RESET
P/BSW is pushed and the cabin altitude is less than 14.000 ft ± 500
ft, the oxygen regulators will close and the SYS ON indication will
turn off when the pressure in the distribution system decreases below
4,5 ± 0,5 kPa (0,045 ± 0,005 bar).

ENGINE BURST / RIM RELEASE PROTECTION
DAMAGE TO MAIN DISTRIBUTION LINE
In case of damage to a part of the MDL due to engine burst failure or
rim release, the surge flow in the damaged MDL part will induce the
SOV in the damaged part of the MDL to close. The reverse flow check
valve on the damaged part of the MDL will also close in order to seal
the damaged area.
The surge pressure increases and when the door latch actuation
pressure (1.5 bar - 3.0 bar) is got, the doors of the oxygen container
assemblies supplied by the undamaged part of the MDL will be
released.

PASSENGER OXYGEN CONTAINER ASSEMBLIES
There are different oxygen container assemblies for the different
installation places in the aircraft cabin. These assemblies are different in
length and width. Each type of container can have different numbers of
masks. For each mask, there is a flow restrictor and a SOV activated
automatically by a lanyard. To carry out the interface requirements of
the aircraft the following different oxygen container types are required:
- type I installed in the doorframe lining to supply 2 to 4 persons with
oxygen (LH and RH container),
- type II installed in sidewalls, low ceilings, lavatories and galleys to
supply 2 persons with oxygen.
An oxygen container assembly is mainly composed of:
- a container housing,
- a container door (spring loaded for type II, type I not spring loaded),
- a door stop/test button device,
- an inlet port inclusive filter,
- a pneumatic door latch including a lever for manual opening,
- a manifold with individual outlets having SOV integrated for each mask
connection,
- an oxygen mask assembly,
- a flow indicator for each oxygen mask,

Altitude Pressure Switch to the correct condition.
The altitude switch, which is installed in the avionics compartment,
starts the automatic operation of the passenger oxygen system. It sends
a signal to open the oxygen regulators, which supply low-pressure
oxygen to the oxygen distribution system. In case of high altitude
airfield operation option, the altitude switch has two settings:
- the first setting closes, if the pressure falls to a value equivalent to
14000 +0 -500 ft. (4267.12 +0.00 -152.39 m),
- the second setting closes, if the pressure falls to a value equivalent
to 16000 +0 -500 ft. (4876.71 +0.00 -152.39 m).
NOTE: If high altitude airfield operation is required, the system can

be adapted by using a dual altitude pressure switch and by
adapting the activation circuit.
Oxygen Control Panel
On the oxygen control panel, the MASK MAN ON P/BSW allows
the crew to activate the oxygen system as a backup and override the
altitude pressure switch. The oxygen regulators stay open even if the
MASK MAN ON P/BSW is released. When the OPEN relays do not
UAL09471 - U5CT0T0 - UM35D6000000001

second to open the oxygen regulators.
A safety guard is installed over the MASK MAN ON P/BSW to
prevent accidental operation of the system. The SYS ON indicator
light on the overhead panel comes on when at least one pressure
oxygen regulator is open. When the pressure in the system decreases
the SYS ON indicator light goes off.

- the pressure transmitters integrated in each pressure reducer,
- the temperature transducer.
The QCCU sends a signal of the arithmetic average pressure of the
installed oxygen cylinders to the fill panel indicator (non temperature
compensated) and a temperature adjusted pressure to the POXIP. The
QCCU also sends a signal to the POXIP if:
- the QCCU does not operate,

SERVICING
FILLING
Refilling of the cylinders is accomplished via the oxygen filling port.
This port is installed on the oxygen fill panel and enables connection
of an external oxygen source for replenishing of the oxygen cylinders.
The correct filling pressure depends on the outside and the cargo
compartment temperatures, and can be determined by the use of the
aircraft placards. To check the correct fill pressure, you have to
calculate the average pressure in the replenished oxygen cylinders.
Make sure that the pressure on the fill panel pressure indicator is the
same as the calculated average pressure in the oxygen cylinders.
During filling, an increase in temperature in each cylinder is limited
by a thermal compensator. The QCCU monitors the fill pressure in
the cylinders and the pressure indication is displayed on the POXIP
and on the indicator fill panel.
TEST PORT
The three test ports enable the maintenance crew to increase and
decrease the pressure in the oxygen system during a functional check
of the system. The first test port, which is installed in the intermediate
line before the oxygen regulators, is used for different tests and checks
UAL09471 - U5CT0T0 - UM35D6000000001
of the oxygen system. The second test port, which is installed in the
oxygen distribution system downstream of the oxygen regulators, is
used for different tests and checks of the oxygen distribution system.
The third test port, which is installed in the oxygen distribution system
downstream of the check valves, lets you decrease the pressure of the
supply lines downstream of the check valves. Before the
depressurization of the system, it is necessary to close the manual
SOVs of the oxygen cylinders.

GENERAL & LOCATION

DESCRIPTION
The container is installed with a tamper seal and a serviceability indicator
for the preflight inspection; the serviceability indicator is broken after
opening the box.
NOTE: According to the supplier, another indicator is available which

shows a yellow indicator if the container has not been opened.
The protective breathing hood works with a closed breathing circuit. The
system is activated by a starter via a lanyard. The expired air will be
regenerated, enriched with oxygen, and inhaled again. The oxygen is
generated in exothermic chemical reaction between the potassium
peroxide (KO2), the humidity, and the carbon dioxide (CO2) in the expired
air; this reaction releases heat. The protective breathing equipment is
composed of three main parts:
A hood with:
- the neck seal at the level of the neck,
- the straps attached to the hood maintain the inner mask around the back
of the user head,
- a relief valve in the hood, which keeps the overpressure in the hood at
a comfortable level.
An inner mask installed with:
UAL09471 - U5CT0T0 - UM35D4000000001
- an anti-suffocation valve, operated by a higher breathing resistance.

The user can inhale through this valve from the volume between head
and hood,
- a speech transmitter is located in front of the oronasal mask.
A KO2 cartridge has:
- an attached breathing bag installed with a volume-controlled relief
valve,
- a starter activated by a lanyard,
- a fold tube (or breathing hose) connected to the oronasal mask,
- a belt, which holds the cartridge on the hood.

DESCRIPTION

OPERATION
The PBE is stored under a vacuum in a specially designed bag. The bag
is mounted inside a box in such a way that, after opening the box, the
hood is removed and the vacuum protection is automatically opened with
a single movement. The hood is fire resistant.

PORTABLE BREATHING EQUIPMENT
The Portable Breathing Equipment gives breathing means and eyes
protection for one user in case of: fire, or emission of smoke and/or
noxious gases. It lets the user move freely.The Portable Breathing
Equipment container is installed with a good-condition indicator and a
tamper seal for the pre-flight inspection. The annular container in the
hood, full of compressed oxygen, releases the amount of oxygen that the
user needs. The gas circulation is generated when the user breathes in
and out. Cockpit Portable Breathing Equipment container can be
optionally installed in the cabin.
