On simulation for fuzzy control on oxygen concentration of the mixed air supplied by breathing adjuster

The breathing adjuster is the core component of life support system of an aircraft and it is very important to control the valve to make the breathing adjuster supply the pilot the mixed air with the suitable oxygen concentration. In this paper the mathematical model, which describes the relation between the opening degree of the valve of the breathing adjuster and the flight altitude of the aircraft, is set up through analyzing requirement of aviation physiology and working principles of the breathing adjuster. Then a fuzzy controller is designed to control the opening degree of the valve in order to make the breathing adjuster supply to the pilot the mixed air with suitable oxygen concentration. Finally MATLAB Simulink is employed to verify the feasibility and validity of the fuzzy controlling approach. The results of simulating experiments show that the fuzzy control approach proposed in this paper can make the breathing adjuster supply the mixed air with suitable oxygen concentration to the pilot boarded on an aircraft.
