For AirVenture 2024, we are excited to announce the introduction of automatic digital flow control. Our initial Turbo included an analog flow meter requiring user intervention to set the flow prior to or during flight. The analog flow meter can be challenging to adjust when the Turbo is installed and located in an out-of-reach location. Accordingly, we pushed to develop and flight test the World's first automatic digital flow control for oxygen concentration.
The Turbo with automatic digital flow control outputs the optimized flow rate and concentration without any user intervention. This simplifies the operation of the Turbo and improves overall flight safety.
The automatic digital flow control is available only on new Turbo installed systems. For a retrofit fee, we are able to convert any existing installed Turbo oxygen maker to digital flow control, including updates to the new hardware, software, and plumbing.
Portable Turbo systems will continue to employ the analog flow meter because the portable systems are easily accessible in the cabin and the flow meter provides a direct visual indication of flow.
