OXYGEN SYSTEMS
General
The crew system supplies each crew member with oxygen. The crew masks
receive oxygen from a pressurized cylinder. Each mask has controls for
adjustment by each crew member.
The crew system includes: 3 cylinders, each with a pressure regulator, a
pressure transducer, a shutoff valve, and pressure indication. The crew masks
have diluter-demand regulators, and supply and discharge lines. The cylinder
stores high pressure oxygen for the crew. A pressure regulator reduces
oxygen pressure to the crew masks. A diluter-demand regulator in each
mask further reduces the pressure as it flows from the mask. Pressure
indication within the system shows an average of cylinder pressure. Cylinders
with low pressure can be serviced from the forward electrical compartment or
replaced depending on station policy.

CREW OXYGEN SYSTEM

Oxygen Cylinder
Two light weight composite cylinders are installed horizontally on the right side
of the main equipment center and one is installed vertically in the right side of
forward cargo compartment just aft of main equipment center. The cylinder has
a volume of 115 cubic feet and is normally pressurized to 1850 psi at 70F. The
cylinder neck has a shutoff valve, a pressure gage, a pressure regulator
connection, and a pressure relief valve. The shutoff valve controls flow
in and out of the cylinder, while the pressure gage gives a direct
reading of cylinder pressure. The pressure relief valve opens when
cylinder pressure reaches 2850 plus or minus 150 psi and discharges the
oxygen overboard.
Overboard Discharge
If the crew cylinder becomes overpressurized, the thermal relief valve,
on the cylinder neck, opens. The high pressure oxygen routes through an
overboard discharge line to the overboard discharge port. When pressure
in the overboard discharge line reaches 500 psi a green disk in the
overboard discharge port pops out and lets the oxygen escape. The disk
is held in its position by a snap-ring. The overboard discharge port is
adjacent to the nose wheel well on the lower right side of the fuselage. The
third bottle has a discharge port forward of lower lobe forward door.
Pressure Regulator
The pressure regulator attaches to the oxygen cylinder neck. The inlet
port receives high pressure oxygen from the cylinder. The valve stem is
spring-loaded open, but closes when downstream pressure reaches 70 psi.
The valve stem opens and closes to maintain 70 psi of oxygen to the
outlet port. The outlet port supplies oxygen to the crew masks. The
regulator has a relief valve which begins to open at 120 psi, and opens
fully at 160 psi in case the valve stem malfunctions.

A pressure transducer is attached to each pressure regulator. Each transducer

sends an electrical signal to a voltage averaging unit. It combines the signals
and sends an electrical signal to the EICAS computers to show cylinder
pressure.

CREW OXYGEN PRESSURE REGULATION

Crew Oxygen Cylinder
The crew oxygen cylinder is located outboard of the nose wheel well along the
right side of the fuselage in the forward equipment center. It has 76 cubic feet
volume.
The normal cylinder charge is 1850 psi @ 70oF. Full cylinder charge is set at
2000 psi to compensate for gas temperature increase associated with the
charging process from 100 psi to 1850 psi. The cylinder must be removed/
replaced or removed/recharged/reinstalled if the oxygen pressure is
unacceptably low. A frangible disk is a fitting on the cylinder neck provides for
thermal relief at 2500 to 2775 psi.
Also located in the neck is a shut-off valve to shut off oxygen flow at the cylinder,
a direct reading pressure indicator, and connections for the regulator and the
thermal relief overboard discharge vent line.
Crew Oxygen Pressure Reducing Regulator
The regulator inlet port attaches to the cylinder neck. It receives high pressure
oxygen from the cylinder (1850 psi). The outlet port connects to the flight
compartment supply line. The output pressure of the regulator is a nominal 70
psi. The regulator also incorporates a relief valve to relieve excessive supply
line pressure set to begin opening at 120 psi and be full open at 160 psi.
Crew Oxygen Pressure Transducer
A pressure transducer is attached to each pressure regulator. Each transducer
sends an electrical signal to a voltage averaging unit. It combines the signals
and sends an electrical signal to the EICAS computers to show cylinder
pressure.

THIRD CREW OXYGEN BOTTLE / DISCHARGE PORT

Additional Oxygen Cylinder
In the forward lower lobe cargo compartment there is a supplemental crew
oxygen bottle. It is the same as the other two bottles.
Crew Overboard Discharge Indicator Disks
The overboard discharge fittings, containing the indicator disk, is located
outboard of the nose gear wheel well on the right side and forward of FWD
Cargo door for third bottle. The fitting extends through the fuselage skin and is
attached to the oxygen cylinder thermal discharge line. The fitting has an o-ring
seal, green indicator disk and a snap ring.
The crew oxygen cylinder will thermally discharge at a pressure of from 2500 to
2775 psi, and in doing so will blow out the green indicator disk. During a walk
around inspection the disk is checked. If the disk is missing the cylinder should
be checked for thermal discharge indications.

CREW OXYGEN PRESSURE INDICATION

Indication
The cylinder pressure shows only at the gauge on the cylinder. This gauge is a
direct reading type.
Pressure in the high pressure manifold shows on the STATUS page and at the
service panel. A pressure transducer monitors manifold pressure and gives the
pressure information for the STATUS page and the service panel. As long as
the shutoff valve on the cylinder is OPEN, cylinder pressure and manifold
pressure should be the same.

CREW OXYGEN BOTTLE SERVICING

Servicing
Before you do an oxygen servicing procedure, read the precautions and general
maintenance instructions (AMM 12). Keep oxygen away from all sources of
ignition.
Open all the oxygen valves slowly. This will decrease the risk of a fire.

WARNING: DURING THE SERVICING PROCEDURES OF THE CREW

OXYGEN SYSTEM, MAKE SURE THAT THE AIRCRAFT
AND OXYGEN CART IS CORRECTLY GROUNDED.
Close the shutoff valve for each crew oxygen cylinder slowly.
Note:

The shutoff valve can be tightened by hand which is equivalent to

25 pound-inches.

Note:

The shutoff valve on the composite cylinder is fully closed

approximately at 4 to 5 revolutions.

WARNING: LOOSEN THE CONNECTION SLOWLY. THE REMAINING

OXYGEN CAN RELEASE WITH A LARGE FORCE, AND
CAUSE THE TEMPERATURE TO INCREASE. HEAT AND
OXYGEN CAN CAUSE A FIRE. INJURIES TO PERSONNEL,
AND DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT CAN OCCUR.
Slowly loosen the coupling nut that attaches the pressure regulator and
transducer assembly to the valve of the oxygen cylinder. Let all the pressure go
out of the connection. Then disconnect the pressure regulator assembly from
the cylinder valve. Disconnect the overboard discharge line from the union at
the valve of the oxygen cylinder. Hold the union with a wrench. Then
disconnect the overboard discharge line from the union. Remove the union
from the valve assembly of the cylinder. Remove the packing from the union.
Keep the union. The union is used to install the oxygen cylinder.
Note:

The oxygen cylinder weighs between 35 and 43 pounds.

Install oxygen clean caps or plugs on the open ports of the cylinder valve.

CREW OXYGEN MASK

Stowage
Each crew member station is equipped with an oxygen mask/regulator stored in
a box which is secured to the airplane. When the mask/regulator is stowed and
the box doors closed, oxygen flow to the mask is prevented by a valve inside
the box. With the doors closed the "reset/test lever" on the left door holds this
valve closed. A flow indicator is on the opposite side of the box from the valve.
It can be seen with the doors open or closed.
Pneumatic Harness
The pneumatic harness that holds the mask to the face is deflated when
stowed. When the mask/regulator is removed from the box with the harness
inflation control "red ears" depressed (only one moves), the box doors open
thus opening the shutoff valve in the box, the harness inflates and can be
placed over the head and face. Releasing the inflation control deflates the
harness and holds the mask on the face. The harness fits all head sizes.
"In-Place" Check-Out
The mask/regulator can be tested without removal from the storage box. Push
the "Reset/Test Lever" in the direction of the arrow until the painted white band
appears. The flow indicator (blinker) should turn yellow momentarily, then black
again, showing the regulator is leak tight.
Hold the "Reset/Test Lever" depressed and push the "Press To Test" knob on
the regulator through the opening between the doors. The blinker should again
turn yellow momentarily, then black, which checks the regulator demand
mechanism. Microphone electrical integrity can be checked by listening to
relevant airflow noise through the communication set. Release both controls.
The "reset/test lever" should return to the position covering the white band and
close the valve. Pressure downstream of the valve is vented to atmosphere.
Complete Mask/Regulator Test
Take the mask/regulator out of the box, hold the mask and keep the harness
inflation control depressed. Make sure that the blinker turns yellow, goes black
again in a few seconds, showing that the pneumatic harness is leak tight. Raise
the mask/regulator unit and place it over your head. Breathe; regulator

positioned to dilution, then to "100%" position; in each case, check for flow on
the blinker. With the regulator set to "100%", rotate the "emergency" control
knob. After some breathing, cancel the emergency mode and store the mask/
regulator.
