Patent attributes
This disclosure describes an on-board oxygen generating system (OBOGS) using open loop control. An example OBOGS includes a concentrator comprising at least two beds and a controller. Each bed has a valve to pneumatically couple the bed between a supply gas source and a vent; The controller receives at least one input signal from at least one sensor aboard an aircraft, and determines a predicted oxygen concentration output from the at least two beds into the based on the received input signals. The controller controls the valves of the at least two beds based on the determined predicted oxygen concentration to adjust charge/vent ratios of the at least two beds.
