Since pilots have had the need to breathe at high altitudes, Carleton Life Support Systems Inc. has been there for them, providing oxygen enriched air and committing to the safety of their mission.
Carleton Life Support Systems is a world leader in the application of air separation technology for aviation applications and in the design and manufacture of miniature sterling cycle cryogenic coolers. Bendix Aviation founded the company in 1951 and the sold the facility to Litton Industries in 1982. Northrop Grumman Corporation acquired Litton Industries in 2001 and then in August 2003, divested the Life Support division, based in Davenport, IA, to Cobham plc, Dorsett, United Kingdom. Carleton Life Support is now part of the Carleton Technologies family of companies owned by Cobham.
Since its inception, Carleton Life Support has continually challenged its employees by encouraging forward thinking and maintaining its leadership role in advanced technology for military and commercial products. Life Support has developed an attention for details and prides itself on its rich history and reputation for excellence. Today, that persistence and innovation has transformed Carleton Life Support into a world-class operation that is on the forefront of superior new technology and continued market leadership.

OR29255 Oxygen Regulator

The Life Support 29255 automatic diluter-demand pressure breathing oxygen regulator is a lighted panel instrument designed for use by aircraft crewmembers during high altitude flight. The regulator is installed between the oxygen supply source and the crewmember’s mask. Oxygen supply pressure is provided to the regulator through the port located on the inlet assembly. A built-in pressure reducer regulates the inlet supply pressure from 37 to 45 psig [255.11 to 310.26 kPa]. Ambient air, used for dilution purposes, enters the regulator through an aneroid controlled air valve located on the side on the unit. Breathing gas is delivered to the mask by a flexible hose attached to the outlet of the regulator. This regulator is used on the E-6, F-5, F-117, T-38, C-5, C-130, C-141, KC135, A-10 and the B-52.

Features:

  • Automatic pressure breathing - at 30,000 ft [9144 m] and above, pressure breathing is provided by an aneroid mechanism which automatically increases the regulator outlet pressure from 2 to 15 inches [5.08 to 38.1 cm] water, depending on cabin altitude.
  • Automatic air dilution - provides mixture control at all flows from sea level to approximately 30,000 ft., above which 100% oxygen is delivered.
  • Integral outlet pressure relief valve.
  • Integrally illuminated panel.
  • Flow indicator provides indication of oxygen flow with each breath.
  • Night vision lighting configuration available.
