Sponsors • Mr. Schwartz ( Superior Offshore International) • Mr. Ed Collins • Louisiana State University College of Agriculture
Overview • Problem statement • Background • Design • Testing • Conclusion
Problem Statement • To design a single use, portable oxygen dispenser that releases oxygen for 5 minutes at 6 liters/min
Design • Cylinder • Regulator • Retention Bag • Mask • Case
Cylinder • Cylinder & Retaining Valve • Manufacturer: Cliff Impact Division of Catalina Cylinders • Light weight, aluminum high pressure gas cylinder • Contains 42 liters of compressed oxygen gas at max pressure of 2000 psi • Cylinder specifications: • 2.5 inch diameter, 5.5 inch height, weighs 0.5 lbs
Cylinder • Custom fit brass retaining valve • Manufactured by InterMed Gas Products Corporation • Model: CGA 870 (oxygen grade) • 1 inch diameter, 3.5 inch height, weighs 1.75 lbs
Regulator • Brass-Sleeved 50 psi oxygen regulator • Manufactured by Inter Med Gas Products Corporation • Model: CGA 870, variable flow: 0-8 L/min • 1.5 inch diameter, 3.5 inch length
Retention Bag • Clear, inflatable plastic bag (oxygen grade) • 8 inch height x 4 inch width (flat/no air) • Direct Inflow from oxygen cylinder • One-way valve exit to mask • Connections: oxygen grade, clear, flexible, plastic tubing
Mask • Clear, flexible plastic • Adjustable aluminum nose piece • Fit with 2 custom one-way valves • Valve Functions: • Creates vacuum upon inhalation (opens one-way valve on retention bag) • Allows entrance through oxygen tube • Allows escape of CO2 during exhalation
Case • Light weight aluminum: prototype • Future: plastic • Main function: • Ergonomics and aesthetics • Easily portable: shoulder straps, compact case • Contains vital parts to design, prevents loosening of connections
Case • Other functions: • Prevent direct contact of cylinder, valve, or regulator with ground upon impact. • Increases safety of using the device
Regulator One-Way Valve Case Retention Bag Mask Cylinder One Way Valves Completed Design
Testing • Sensor Calibration • Respiration • Retention Bag • Valves • Flow Rate as Pressure Changes
Percent Oxygen Inside Mask • Objective • 50-70% Oxygen • Oxygen Sensor • Pasco Industries • PasPort Interface • Data Studio • Oxygen specific • 0 – 100% O2 • Precision of ± 1% • Resolution of 0.024%.
Oxygen vs. Atmospheric Air • Objective: prove oxygen sensor accuracy and % oxygen content in cylinder
Respiration:Oxygen vs. Atmospheric Air • Objective: • Determine if oxygen reaches mask • Determine percent oxygen available to user • Hypothesis Testing • % oxygen from cylinder > % oxygen in air • 30 to 40% is lower than our ideal % oxygen
Alterations • Valves • Bag
With Retention Bag vs. Without Retention Bag • Objective: determine whether or not the retention bag increased the percentage of oxygen available
Retention Bag on Mask vs. in Case • Objective: determine whether or not placing the bag inside the case decreased the percentage of oxygen available • Hypothesis Testing • Slight Difference • Acceptable for aesthetic reasons
Valves • Objective: determine best valve configuration
Flow Rate as Pressure Changes • Objective: Flow Rate must stay consistent – 6 L/min • Dependency of % O2 consumption rates • Concerns: • Initial pressure = 2000 psi • Final pressure = 0 psi • Flow Meter • Dwyer Instruments • Oxygen flow meter • Scale: 1.0-10 LPM
Flow Meter Results • Objective: to determine if the regulator produces the required 6 L/min flow rate for 5 minutes
