Abstract

A control system can include an oxygen utilizing system positionable in environmental conditions determined independent of an oxygen sensor. The control system can include a computing device communicatively coupled to the oxygen utilizing system. The computing device can include a processor and a memory device storing at least a portion of an oxygen availability model and computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the computing device to: access the oxygen availability model and retrieve, from a plurality of possible operating solutions given the environmental conditions, an operating solution for the oxygen utilizing system; and transmit a signal to the oxygen utilizing system to adjust one or more operating characteristics of the oxygen utilizing system based on the operating solution.

Claims22

Dependent claims

An oxidant generator, comprising:

a housing;
a fan positioned inside the housing and operable to bring ambient air into the housing;
an oxidant generator coil disposed inside the housing and in fluid communication with the fan;
a power supply operable to energize the fan and the oxidant generator coil;
and
a controller configured to control operation of the oxidant generator for generating oxidant output from the ambient air, the controller comprising:
a processor;
and
a memory device storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the controller to:
based on an oxygen availability model relating power from the power supply to specific ambient air conditions of pressure, temperature, and moles of oxygen for a select volume of ambient air, identify a first predetermined amount of power to provide to the fan and a second predetermined amount of power to provide to the oxidant generator coil;
and
transmit a signal to the power supply for provisioning the first predetermined amount of power to the fan and the second predetermined amount of power to the oxidant generator coil.
