OXYGEN SUPPLY DEVICE AND METHOD FOR OXYGEN SUPPLYING A PASSENGER CABIN OF AN AIRCRAFT

摘要

The invention relates to an oxygen supply device (10) for an aircraft. The oxygen supply device (10) has a reaction tank (11) for chemical oxygen generation and a pressure tank (12) filled with oxygen. In addition, the oxygen supply device (10) has a power converter (13) for converting thermal energy into electrical energy and a control unit (14) for adjusting a first quantity of oxygen. provided by the reaction tank (11) to a consuming unit (15) and a second quantity of oxygen supplied by the pressure tank (12) to the consuming unit (15). The energy converter (13) is adapted to convert into electrical energy thermal energy generated by the generation of chemical oxygen in the reaction tank (11) and to provide electrical energy. The control unit (14) is arranged to adjust the second amount of oxygen supplied by the pressure vessel (12) to the consuming unit (15) using the electrical energy supplied by the energy converter (13). ). In addition, the invention relates to a method for supplying oxygen to a passenger cabin (110) of an aircraft (100).
