The invention relates to a device () for producing oxygen by means of a chemical reaction, in particular by means of an exothermic chemical reaction, wherein the device () comprises a chemical core (), in which a substance producing oxygen by way of chemical reaction is present, and the chemical core () comprises a first reaction body () and a second reaction body () which are arranged in a manner such that they can be simultaneously activated, so that a first reaction front () propagates in the first reaction body () and simultaneously a second reaction front () propagates in the second reaction body ().

Device for creating oxygen

A chemical oxygen generator includes multiple parallel sequentially connected chemical core sections that extend the duration of operation of the chemical oxygen generator. An end of a first core section is contiguous with a chemical core high reactivity section, and a thermal insulation layer is disposed between an end of a second core section and the chemical core ignition plate, as well as between the bodies of the first and second core sections. A chemical core transition section is disposed between the other end of the first core section and the second core section, to insure that the reaction front propagates properly.
