Introduction to the working principle of oxygen concentrator air compressor

1. Working principle of oxygen concentrator air compressor


The oxygen concentrator is a device that separates nitrogen and oxygen in the air, and the air compressor is one of the core components of the oxygen concentrator. The working principle of the oxygen concentrator air compressor is to compress the air to a certain pressure, and then separate the nitrogen and oxygen through the separation membrane to obtain high-purity oxygen.


Specifically, the oxygen concentrator air compressor inhales the air, and then compresses the air to a certain pressure, usually 5-10bar, through the compressor. Then, the compressed air enters the separation membrane module, and the nitrogen and oxygen are separated by special membrane materials. Finally, the high-purity oxygen is collected, and the nitrogen is discharged.


2. The difference between 3 liters and 5 liters of oxygen concentrators


The capacity of oxygen concentrators is usually in liters, of which 3 liters and 5 liters are more common capacities. Their differences mainly lie in the oxygen production and applicable occasions.


1. Oxygen production: A 3-liter oxygen concentrator can usually produce 3 liters/minute of oxygen, while a 5-liter oxygen concentrator can produce 5 liters/minute of oxygen. Therefore, a 5-liter oxygen concentrator has a larger oxygen production capacity and is suitable for occasions with a large demand for oxygen.


2. Applicable occasions: A 3-liter oxygen concentrator is suitable for small occasions such as homes and offices, and can be used to supply oxygen to equipment such as ventilators and oxygen inhalers. A 5-liter oxygen concentrator is suitable for large occasions such as hospitals and laboratories, and can be used in occasions such as operating rooms and ICUs that require a large amount of oxygen.
