Proposal Statement
Gaseous Servicing Equipment.
Recommendation Information
All Air National Guard aircraft are equipped with systems that use pressurized gasses during flight operations. These systems frequently require servicing from large carts to maintain operational serviceability. Existing gaseous oxygen servicing bottles can be replaced with a ceramic oxygen generation system (COGS) to produce pure oxygen for use in portable oxygen bottles. The system separates 99.9% pure oxygen from ambient air and then pressurizes it to charge high pressure cylinders. Currently, the field relies on bottled oxygen supplied from a commercial vendor to fill the bottles. Existing nitrogen servicing equipment consists of carts that carry up to eight large bottles. These carts are cumbersome and cannot be carried on most aircraft, creating the need to source nitrogen from deployed locations along the path of travel. These large carts can be replaced by small, portable, backpack-sized servicing bottles that can be carried on more aircraft and used in lieu of locally sourced nitrogen. These smaller bottles can be re-serviced from fill stations, extending the range of operations. This resolution is a 2024 WEPTAC Critical Capability and is supported by the CAF Task Force.
