Things To Know About PSA Oxygen Generator

By Olive Pate


Oxygen generator or a concentrator is a certain device which directs the oxygen from a gas reserve which is typically the ambient air to supply an o2 enriched with gas mixture. Most of the devices are basically using pressure swing adsorption or PSA technology and widely used for oxygen provision in different healthcare applications. This is especially where pressurized or liquid o2 is very dangerous such as in clinics or homes.

PSA technology is an economical and reliable technique used for small to mid scale generation. It is suitable at external delivery and higher volumes, but generally suitable for small volumes. PSA oxygen generators are cost efficient and reliable source. They-are less expensive, safer and a convenient alternative to pressurized cylinders and cryogenic o2.

Mostly, they are being used in various industries especially in healthcare facilities including medical, pharmaceutical production, glass manufacturing and water treatment. Most of the PSA generators are particularly useful in remote or rural areas across the globe. In addition to that, they are being used for medical facilities such as military hospitals and disaster facilities.

For several years, more and more companies have been using the process and already produced numbers of technology devices for several purposes. Typically, every device produces a liter of o2 per minute and used to deliver sufficient supply for patients. Also, they provide pules of oxygen to reduce the power consumption and for higher intermittent flows.

Nowadays, the research for this kind of generation is still ongoing and modern techniques are being used to produce the adsorbent required by most medical generators for specific purposes. These concentrators are plugged into electrical outlets and function even away from home. They can also be plugged into outlets of a vehicle.

Every device suits best for ambulatory use. Even airlines are mow using this device for their passengers. However, it is very important to check the devices ahead of time so it would be easier to determine which one will be used base don their features and model. Unlike other commercial airlines, passengers without enough pressurization need these concentrators in delivering enough flowrate.

Military uses this generator to supply the aircrew with enough reserve. When it comes to alternate applications, they can be used for welding, fuel gas cutting and even for lamp working torches. In various emergency facilities and clinical, they are a great advantage, Most of these generators are beneficial in disaster situations where tanks may be unfeasible.

Aside from that, they can be brought on short train rides with comfort with a shoulder bag or backpack. For longer train trips, it is important to notify the train management before so they can provide you necessary information about their rules and receive a charge. However, o2 concentrators will not permitted if they depend on electricity given by the train, so it is essential to have strong batteries.

Most of the industrial procedures may also use high pressure than medical ones. Concentrators are also promoted in aquaculture industries. Basically, the application of medical generators may only lead to confusion if you have no idea how to use them. Thus, knowing all aspects of this device is very helpful for you.
