To use the oxygen system in your panel or plugin, you can then use the following datarefs: sim/cockpit2/oxygen/actuators/o2_valve_on - this turns on the valve that allows oxygen to flow from the bottle through the pressure reducer to the ports. For reference, a popular Mountain High Oxygen system in a Cirrus SR22 has a capacity of 415 liter, and that will supply three people for about one hour and ten minutes at 18.000 feet. Note that this refers to the volume of compressed oxygen in a typical 1800psi bottle. To equip an aircraft with a crew oxygen system, go to the second equipment tab of Plane Maker, and enter the crew oxygen bottle capacity in liter.

When activated, the oxygen generator surface temperature may reach 260C, which is why you don’t want to reach up into the compartment once you have pulled the mask out.
The chemical oxygen generator supplies approximately 13-22 minutes of oxygen to each mask. The reservoir bags on the passenger oxygen masks begins to fill with oxygen. This initiates the flow of oxygen to the passenger’s oxygen mask. When the oxygen compartment doors are open, the passengers will pull the oxygen mask to their face, which pulls a lanyard connected to the firing pin of the chemical oxygen generator. The compartments are latched closed, and all that the passenger oxygen system activation typically does is electrically unlatch the compartment doors (which doesn’t start the chemical reaction yet). These masks rest in little compartments above the passengers. The passenger oxygen system in airliners usually uses chemical oxygenators (using potassium superoxyde) that are usually directly connected to a mask or several masks. Note that this system is typically NOT connected to the passenger oxygen masks in the cabin. In airliners, typically the cockpit is equipped with such a system, where flight crew and observer stations all have masks hooked up to demand regulators. Typically, 1 to 8 people are plugged into such a system, each consuming 60-150 liters of oxygen per hour, depending on altitude. They supply oxygen to ports into which either a mask is plugged in directly, or via a pulse demand regulator. These systems are found in high-flying GA-aircraft like a Cirrus SR22 or a Cessna Caravan. The crew oxygen system employs an oxygen bottle or canister in which gaseous oxygen is stored under high pressure. Starting with X-Plane 11.30, it is possible to equip high-flying aircraft with an oxygen system rather than or in addition to the pressurized cabin, to allow realistic black-out behavior also with unpressurized aircraft.
