Diploma thesis project height generator
Breathe in the mountain air without height
FH Salzburg student Daniela Deutinger developed a mobile height generator as part of her thesis project. She was supported in its realization with automation technology from Sigmatek.
Athletes use altitude training to increase their performance. Compared to conventional training, altitude training in oxygen-reduced air can achieve a higher training effect with the same effort. In order to avoid time-consuming and cost-intensive altitude training, an altitude generator is used. These oxygen concentrators can also be used in the medical field, for example in rehabilitation or the treatment of chronic lung damage.
The "Mobile Altitude Generator" project at the Department of Mechatronics, Information Technology & System Management was implemented in collaboration with automation expert Sigmatek. The idea for the project came from ex-professional athlete Gerrit Glomser, who offers equipment for altitude training with his company Gairrit. The first step was to jointly develop a prototype that illustrates the processes required to simulate high-altitude air. The mobile altitude generator filters oxygen components from the ambient air - adapted to the selected altitude - and feeds this new gas mixture into a closed room (breathing mask or tent). In this way, altitude air can be simulated.
The altitude generator is operated with hardware from Sigmatek. The compact S-Dias system controls the generator and processes information from various sensors such as pressure, temperature, flow rate and oxygen content. The CPU module CP 102 as well as analog and digital I/O modules are used. All relevant data is clearly displayed on the multi-touch-capable 12.1-inch ETT 1233 operating panel. The height generator can be easily programmed using the object-oriented all-in-one software Lasal. as
