  Carleton is a key supplier of life support and emergency equipment for commercial aircraft. Our products include pressure vessel and valve assemblies, emergency oxygen regulators and high pressure oxygen fill valves.
Up one level Description


Our commercial products include pressure vessel and valve assemblies, emergency oxygen regulators for passengers and crew and high pressure oxygen fill valves which insure safe ground filling of oxygen storage systems.

Most commercial transport aircraft which fly above 10,000 feet are required to incorporate emergency oxygen systems for the crew and passengers. Most crew oxygen systems store oxygen at 1850 psi in steel or composite cylinder and valve assemblies. An oxygen pressure regulator is used to reduce this pressure to about 70 psi for delivery to the crewmembers through a panel or mask mounted breathing regulator. Some of the larger commercial aircraft also carry passenger oxygen in multiple cylinder and valve assemblies. In such systems, a pressure reducer decreases supply pressure to 600 psi for delivery to flow control units which supply the passenger oxygen masks.

Below is an example of a typical oxygen system.

Among the products Carleton manufactures for commercial aircraft oxygen supply systems are:

Products

Carleton's bleed valve (part number B19820) is an integral part of aircraft crew oxygen systems, being connected on the low-pressure distribution line.

Carleton's oxygen cylinder and valve assemblies (part number B42365-1) are integral components used to store gaseous oxygen in an aircraft's emergency oxygen system.

The 2239 series pressure regulator provides breathing oxygen for distribution to crew stations on large commercial aircraft.

Carleton's high pressure passenger/crew oxygen regulator (part number B19925) connects directly to the cylinder and hand valve assembly and reduces the pressure to approximately 700 psig.

The 1552 series regulator is designed to pressurize potable water systems on commercial aircraft.

Carleton's Series/Parallel Relief Valve is an integral part of an aircraft gaseous emergency passenger oxygen system.
