Who We Are

Altitude Control Technology has been providing altitude simulation equipment to professional athletes since 1996.

There are four methods of altitude training:
  1. sleep high and train low,
  2. train at high altitude,
  3. live high to acclimatize to altitude,
  4. exercise with increased oxygen to fuel high intensity workouts

ACT has the right oxygen control equipment for you to simulate altitude – higher or lower.

We make systems that simulate altitude for entire rooms, inexpensive tents, or our Clear Room™ enclosure.

Contact us to discuss what is right for you.

Superior Technology

What makes a state-of-the-art altitude trainer? Three things you will want:
  1. You want true altitude simulation – not just a change in oxygen levels.
  2. You want high air quality. Exercising or sleeping in stale air is not the ticket to better performance.
  3. Advanced technology – state of the art computer control systems that address your specific needs.

ACT’s controller was developed in conjunction with the U.S. Government and made specifically for altitude simulation. It is the result of millions of dollars in research and development. Hardware and software work together to form an integrated and comprehensive system for accuracy, stability and safety.

ACT’s controller continuously monitors all sensor inputs and controls oxygen and ventilation to assure accurate altitude simulation and high air quality.

The operation is entirely automatic. Smart systems manage energy consumption, sensor accuracy, and air separation modes. The control system is virtually maintenance-free over its entire life. ACT’s control system is a synthesis of the state-of-the-art technology with features found in no other system.

Some systems are little more than self-referral loops that display an altitude that has no correlate in the real world. With sensor drift, barometric variations, and arbitrary algorithms, these systems do not simulate true altitude. Worse still, some only provide a flow of hypoxic air with no control system at all.

Algorithms

The ACT controller incorporates several important algorithms:
  • Partial Pressure Calculation – The ACT’s proprietary algorithm incorporates real time barometric pressure and oxygen concentration readings to calculate the partial pressure of oxygen – true altitude. This allows ACT’s unique system to adjust oxygen levels according to barometric pressure to simulate the desired altitude. Without this algorithm, a system can only control oxygen levels – an obviously inaccurate means of approximating altitude.
  • West Equations– The West Equations are the gold standard of the science of altitude simulation. They have been empirically validated in studies and represent the most advanced and accurate means to convert the partial pressure of oxygen to true altitude simulation.
  • Fire Safety – In oxygenation applications, this algorithm uses pressure sensor readings to calculate the maximum safe level of oxygen to meet National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards.
  • Air Quality – This algorithm takes readings from the CO2 sensor and manages ventilation to meet OSHA standards for air quality.
  • Oxygen Control – This algorithm calculates the proper response to current atmospheric, oxygen and air quality conditions then triggers the correct mix of responses from each of ACT’s air units to precisely titrate oxygen levels.
  • Energy Savings – Using data from ACT’s occupancy detection technology, this algorithm minimizes energy consumption when rooms are unoccupied.

Touch Screen Interface

ACT’s touch screen user interface is simple and intuitive. Most people can operate it with no training at all.

Multiple screens include:
  • Night Time Screen – for minimum light to facilitate sleeping
  • Altitude Display Screen – for a clean and simple display
  • Full Display Screen – displays all data including real-time graphs
  • Administrative Screen – full access for authorized personnel.
Other features include:
  • Automatic scheduling of the system
  • Altitude readings in feet or meters
  • The ability for remote sensors
  • Full-color screen with beautiful mountain graphics
  • Audible and visual alarms activate should oxygen or CO2 drift outside of permissible ranges

Data Logging

ACT’s controller automatically logs data and downloads it to Excel for analysis. Sampling occurs every six seconds by default but can be easily changed by the user to any interval from one second to 24 hours. The system stores three years of data. Data logging keeps records automatically and simplifies your analysis.
