 Life-Support
Systems
Andy and his team have developed considerable experience
of designing and building supplementary oxygen systems and full
life-support systems for high-altitude flight.
A capsule life support system will automatically add
oxygen to the capsule to replace the oxygen consumed by the crew and
will remove the carbon dioxide they exhale.
The system will also monitor the atmosphere within the capsule and
trigger audible and visual alarms should any parameter stray out of
limits.
Life support systems, like the one shown, can be used in
any sealed capsule , such as submarines, high-altitude flight, or even
in space.
High-Altitude Oxygen Systems
We can supply a wide range of oxygen systems for use at
high altitude.
We can provide simple constant-flow oxygen systems using
either a mask or nasal cannulae for altitudes up to 25 000 feet.
At higher altitudes, a constant flow system cannot supply
enough oxygen to guarantee safety. For more extreme adventurers we can
supply "diluter demand" oxygen systems. These systems provide a
barometrically controlled mixture of ambient air and bottled oxygen to
maintain a constant level of oxygen in the inhaled air as the altitude
increases. Advice, Testing and
Training
We are able to advise on the selection and suitability
of high altitude oxygen systems. We can also provide training in their
use and testing facilities in our altitude chambers.
