Oxygen Concentrator is a device that concentrates the oxygen from a gas supply (typically ambient air) by selectively removing nitrogen to supply an oxygen-enriched product gas stream.
Two methods in common use are:
- Pressure Swing Adsorption
- Membrane Gas Separation
An Oxygen Concentrator takes in air and removes nitrogen from it leaving an oxygen-enrich gas for use by people requiring medical oxygen
due to low oxygen level in their blood. They provide an economical source of oxygen.
These utilize a molecular sieve to adsorb gases and operate on the principle of rapid pressure swing adsorption of atmospheric nitrogen onto
zeolite minerals and then venting the nitrogen.
Two types of oxygen concentrators are:
-
5 litre
-
10 litre
