High-Altitude Low-Pressure Human Physiology Studies with the Hiden HPR-20 R&D
In the field of aviation and aerospace research, it’s crucial to understand how low-pressure, high-altitude conditions affect the human body. These studies can help ensure the safety and efficiency of flight and space crew selection and training.
In a study by researcher Ding Junping, the Hiden HPR-20 R&D online gas analyser was utilized under low-pressure conditions, assessing its capability for real-time gas analysis. This gas analysis is important as it monitors potential risks like hypoxia and altitude decompression sickness.
The study involved multiple experiments in simulated high-altitude environments (0-10km), where the HPR-20 R&D measured changes in both standard and cabin air gas compositions, and inhaled gases when test subjects were breathing normally and on pure oxygen.
Results from the study showed the HPR-20 R&D provided reliable, accurate, and fast results under different low-pressure conditions. It demonstrated its ability to quickly measure changes in the concentration of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide gases during human respiration in low-pressure environments. It also fulfilled the real-time testing requirements for low-pressure human experiments.
In conclusion, the Hiden HPR-20 R&D online gas analyser stands out as an effective tool in different pressure environments, meeting the real-time analysis demands for human testing under low-pressure conditions. This application emphasizes the versatile role the HPR-20 R&D can play in crucial aviation and aerospace research.
