...calibrated to deliver 15 -20 psig of dynamic pressure"

Any pressure regulator supplying a constant pressure...


There is definitely a potential surge problem there.

The EDS regulator is special in being designed to switch from no flow to lots and back while keeping the output pressure reasonable.

If you wish to gamble with yourself, then perhaps a surge tank after the regulator to improve the odds. A pulse-ox to keep an eye on the contraption might also be a good idea. But the words 'good idea' might not fit the situation?

If you need O2 you need it to be reliable.
I personally would only use a MH regulator with a MH EDS.
I would also send that unit and regulator back to MH and have it checked out, they recommend doing that every so often.
When you go over 12-14k up to 18k you've got other things to worry about than a cobbled together O2 system.
