NOTE
The cylinder is fully charged at a pressure of 1,850 PSIG (127 bars) at a
temperature of 70 °F (21 °C). For cylinder temperatures other than 70 °F (21
°C), refer to Figure 8.7.2, which lists the required pressures according to the
cylinder temperature.
1. Open the oxygen service door at the rear of the right wing's fairing.
2. Measure the oxygen cylinder temperature.
3. Make sure the thermometer indication is constant. Note the indication.
4. Refer
to the temperature/pressure chart for the correct oxygen cylinder
pressure.
5. If the pressure on the oxygen cylinder gauge is lower than the maximum for
the cylinder temperature, fill the oxygen cylinder:
CAUTION
The minimum pressure for the oxygen cylinder is 217 PSIG (15 bars).
If the oxygen cylinder pressure falls below the minimum, the cylinder
must be purged before refilling.
Inform the maintenance department.
- Make sure the area around the oxygen cylinder charging valve is
clean.
- Remove the cap from the charging valve.
- Make
sure the oxygen supply hose is clean, and connect it to the
charging valve.
- Slowly pressurize the oxygen cylinder to the correct pressure.
- Close the oxygen supply and allow the cylinder temperature to
stabilize.
- Monitor the oxygen pressure on the gauge and fill to the correct
pressure if necessary.
- Release the pressure in the oxygen supply hose and disconnect from
the charging valve.
- Install the cap on the charging valve.
6. Make sure all tools and materials are removed and the work area is clean
and free from debris.
7. Close the oxygen service door.
