I'm looking to develop a standard O2 cylinder installation for the
HP-24 sailplane kit, and I'm curious what size cylinders people generally have installed these days. These days a lot of folks seem to be using EDS systems which seem to offer very good efficiency at turning pressurized gas into blood oxygen. So less pressurized gas is needed than back in the old days when we were all using surplus A8A regulators. This webpage lists what seem to be the the standard O2 cylinder sizes these days: http://www.mhoxygen.com/index.php?op...t emid=50#pdf The cylinder sizes I generally see referred to in forums like these are these medical sizes: D-size: 4.4 in/11.1 cm diameter, 18.7 in/47.4 cm length, 14.7 ft^3 volume JD-size: 5.3 in/13.3 cm diameter, 18.1 in/46.0 cm length, 22.8 ft^3 volume E-size: 4.4 in/11.1 cm diameter, 27.0 in/68.6 cm length, 24.1 ft^3 volume The information I'm looking to collect is, what size cylinder do you actually have installed, and does it generally meet your needs? Thanks, Bob K. http://www.hpaircraft.com/hp-24 |
