The Oxygen Charging & Distribution Vehicle – UGSSO2 is a state-of-the-art solution designed for efficiently charging oxygen bottles for SU-30 MKI aircraft. This versatile system comprises a main oxygen charging vehicle and a towable compressor trolley, offering high-pressure oxygen storage, dual air-driven boosters, and advanced safety features like oxygen purity monitoring and a CO₂ Flooding System. With precision controls, modular design, and a capacity of up to 350 Kg/cm², the UGSSO2 ensures reliable and safe operations in aviation and defense environments.
The UGSSO2 consists of two primary units:
- Main Oxygen Charging Vehicle: Built on a Tata Truck chassis, this self-propelled vehicle houses the core components, including high-pressure oxygen storage, oxygen boosters, and distribution panels. Its robust design ensures reliable performance in field operations, while the special canopy provides protection and ease of access to all subsystems.
- Engine-Driven Towable Compressor Trolley: This compact and portable unit powers the oxygen boosters mounted on the main vehicle. Its towable design ensures seamless transport and easy integration with the charging vehicle, making it an indispensable component of the system.
Key Components and Features
- High-Pressure Oxygen Storage System: Comprises 4 cylinder banks, each containing 3 high-pressure oxygen cylinders, for a total of 12 cylinders. Each cylinder has a capacity of 40 liters and can store oxygen at pressures up to 350 Kg/cm², ensuring ample storage for multiple charging operations.
Dual Oxygen Boosters:
- Equipped with two air-driven gas boosters, which can operate individually or simultaneously. The dual configuration provides redundancy, allowing one booster to function while the other undergoes maintenance, ensuring uninterrupted operations. Simultaneous operation enables faster boosting when required. User-Friendly Control Panels:
Booster/Storage Panel:
- Allows users to fill high-pressure oxygen cylinders efficiently. Distribution Panel: Facilitates precise charging at multiple pressure levels (1–5.5 Kg/cm², 150–230 Kg/cm², 230–350 Kg/cm², and up to 350 Kg/cm²) to meet varied operational needs.
Oxygen Purity Monitoring:
- A built-in oxygen purity analyzer continuously monitors gas quality. If the oxygen purity drops below the pre-set threshold, the system automatically halts operations and triggers an alarm, ensuring only pure oxygen is used.
Safety Features:
- A CO₂ Flooding System is integrated into the canopy to extinguish fires instantly in case of emergencies. Independent isolation valves and modular components enhance operational safety and flexibility during maintenance.
Portability and Storage:
- Dedicated baskets and trays are provided for storing oxygen hoses, ensuring ease of handling and preventing contamination. A towable compressor trolley equipped with a compressed air hose ensures seamless connectivity with the main charging vehicle.
Applications
- The UGSSO2 system is purpose-built for aviation and defense operations, with its primary application being the charging of oxygen bottles for SU-30 MKI aircraft. Its high-pressure capabilities, precision controls, and safety mechanisms make it an essential asset for ensuring the readiness and safety of aircraft under diverse operational conditions.
