Abstract
A control device for molecular sieve on-board oxygen generating systems measures both temperature and pressure of the inlet air of an oxygen generating system. An electronic control unit applies pressure limits to a pressure measurement signal and combines it with a temperature measurement signal to produce a composite analog signal responsive to both temperature and pressure inlet air conditions. This analog signal is linearly converted to a frequency signal, whereupon the frequency signal is divided by a constant in order to produce a drive signal for control of the absorb/vent bed cycle valves. Composition control is achieved by venting product mixture as required. Inlet air pressures down to 5 PSIG (pounds per square inch gauge) produce correct system operation, and the quantity of conditioned air required is automatically limited so that system efficiency is higher than prior art systems.
