Parachutist Oxygen

  The newest generation of the HALO/HAHO equipment consists of a portable, aircraft-mounted console with hoses and a man-mounted bailout system.
Up one level Description

The console is designed to supply six jumpers with 100% oxygen to prevent hypoxia when they are exposed to a cabin altitude above 10,000 feet. The console's oxygen may also be used for prebreathing, denitrogenation, or preoxygenation. The personal oxygen system supplies the jumper with oxygen when the cabin altitude is above 10,000 feet, and the jumper is not connected to the console. This configuration provides mobility within the aircraft and oxygen when in free-fall and under canopy. The system provides either diluted oxygen or 100% oxygen.

The parachutist oxygen regulator, originally developed for use on the U-2 during lower altitude training missions, is a 100% oxygen regulator and includes a combined relief/anti-suffocation valve. Its operating altitude ceiling is 40,000 feet with a flow up to 180 slpm.

The Twin-50 Jump Bottle System is designed for military personnel parachutists for High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) or High Altitude High Opening (HAHO) jumps.

The Carleton PHANTOM Jump Bottle System (part number B47310-1) represents the next generation in parachutist oxygen equipment. When combined with the new PHANTOM mask and regulator assembly, the new system is a breakthrough in comfort and performance.

The Carleton PHANTOM Mask and Regulator Assembly (part number B47300-1) represents the next generation in parachutist oxygen equipment. When combined with the PHANTOM 3,000 psig bailout assembly, the new system is a breakthrough in comfort and performance.

The self-contained, compact six-person portable oxygen system (part number 7920030-21) is suitable for use in flying, jumping, rescue and emergency medical applications.
