SIMULATION OF OXYGEN CONSUMPTION DURING TESTINGS OF BREATHING APPARATUSES
Purpose. To investigate the oxygen consumption parameters for specifying the breathing apparatus test modes that most closely correspond to human metabolic processes. Methodology. Theoretical methods of investigations. Results. The conducted investigations have made it possible to determine the breathing apparatuses test modes most closely corresponding to the human metabolic processes. Scientific novelty. The parameters of the oxygen consumption system have been determined ensuring the simulation of the human metabolic processes during respiration. Practical value. The obtained results of investigations have enabled formulating the requirements for the oxygen consumption simulation during testing the breathing apparatuses on a dynamic installation with respiratory simulation system.
