An oxygen supply device and method for supplying a passenger cabin of an aircraft with oxygen

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 production and an oxygen-filled pressure tank (12). Furthermore, the oxygen supply device (10) has an energy converter (13) for converting thermal energy into electrical energy, and a control unit (14) for setting a first oxygen quantity provided by the reaction tank (11) to a consumer unit (15) and one from the pressure tank ( 12) to the consumer unit (15) provided, the second amount of oxygen. The energy converter (13) is designed to convert a thermal energy generated by the chemical oxygen production in the reaction tank (11) into electrical energy and to provide the electrical energy. The control unit (14) is designed to set the second oxygen quantity provided by the pressure tank (12) to the consumer unit (15) using the electrical energy provided by the energy converter (13). Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for supplying a passenger cabin (110) of an aircraft (100) with oxygen.
