How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter the number of crew members and their daily oxygen consumption in kg/person/day.
  2. Set the oxygen generation method (electrolysis, chemical, stored).
  3. Input system efficiency percentage and power available in watts.
  4. Review the daily oxygen production rate in kg and power consumption.
  5. Size the backup stored oxygen supply to cover at least 48 hours of failure.
