With the improvement of people's living standards, the demand for home oxygen concentrators is also increasing. But there are many kinds of home oxygen concentrators on the market, how to choose a suitable product for yourself? In this article, we will introduce the selection method of home oxygen concentrator from the flow rate, oxygen concentration, noise and other aspects.
One, understand the flow
The flow refers to the amount of oxygen that the oxygen concentrator can produce per minute, generally in liters per minute as a unit. The flow rate of a home oxygen concentrator is usually between 1-5 liters/minute, so choose the flow rate that suits your personal needs. If it is just for daily use, it is recommended to choose a product of about 2 liters/minute, and if you need to use it in sports or outdoors, you can choose a product of 3-5 liters/minute.
Two, pay attention to the oxygen concentration
Oxygen concentration refers to the content of oxygen in the oxygen manufactured by the oxygen concentrator, generally expressed as a percentage. Generally speaking, the oxygen concentration of home oxygen concentrator is between 90% and 95%, if you need higher oxygen concentration, you can choose medical oxygen concentrator. When choosing a home oxygen concentrator, it is recommended to choose a product with an oxygen concentration of 93% or higher.
Three, consider the noise
Noise is an important indicator of the home oxygen concentrator, generally measured in decibels. Generally speaking, the noise of home oxygen concentrator is between 40-60 decibels, if you need lower noise, you can choose some high-end products. When choosing a home oxygen concentrator, it is recommended to choose a product with a noise level of 50 decibels or less, so as to avoid the noise from interfering with family life.
Four, other factors
In addition to flow rate, oxygen concentration, noise, there are some other factors to consider. For example, the weight, volume and power of the product. Generally speaking, the weight of the home oxygen concentrator is between 5-10kg, and the volume is relatively small, so it can be conveniently placed at home. In terms of power, it is generally between 100-200W, which will not cause too much burden on household electricity.
