Oxygen concentrator is a device that can extract oxygen from the air, and it separates the oxygen in the air from other gases through a specific working principle, so as to get high purity oxygen. The principle of oxygen concentrator is mainly divided into the following steps.
1. Separation of air
The oxygen concentrator first purifies the air through a filter to remove impurities and moisture. Then the purified air is compressed through a compressor. The compressed air becomes very hot and needs to be cooled down through a cooler. The cooled air will become denser and can be separated in the next step.
2. Separation of Oxygen
The oxygen generator separates the dense air through a molecular sieve, which is a material with a microporous structure that separates molecules of different sizes. In an oxygen generator, the molecular sieve separates the nitrogen and other gases from the air, leaving only the oxygen. The separated nitrogen and other gases are discharged out of the machine through an exhaust valve.
3. Purification of Oxygen
The separated oxygen needs to be further purified to remove impurities and water. Oxygen generator will purify the oxygen through adsorbent, which is a material with special chemical properties that can adsorb impurities and water in the oxygen. The purified oxygen will be output to the outside through the air outlet.
The principle of the oxygen concentrator is very advanced, and it can efficiently extract oxygen from the air for use in medical, industrial, and aviation fields. The operation of an oxygen concentrator is also very simple, you just need to follow the steps below.
1. Connect the power supply
Plug the oxygen concentrator into the power supply and make sure the power supply is stable.
2. Turn on the power switch
Turn on the power switch and the oxygen concentrator will start working.
3. Adjust the oxygen flow rate
Adjust the oxygen flow rate according to the need to ensure that the output oxygen flow rate meets the requirements.
4. Turn off the power switch
After use, turn off the power switch and disconnect the power.
The principle and operation of the oxygen concentrator are very simple, but you need to pay attention to safety when using it. The following safety norms should be followed when using an oxygen concentrator.
1. Make sure it is well ventilated
Oxygen concentrators produce oxygen, and if the air is not circulated, the oxygen will accumulate in the room, increasing the risk of fire. Therefore, when using an oxygen concentrator, you should ensure that the room is well ventilated.
2. Avoid sources of ignition
Oxygen is a flammable gas that can cause a fire if it meets an ignition source. Therefore, when using an oxygen concentrator, you should avoid sources of ignition and make sure there are no open flames in the room.
3. Avoid overuse
Overuse of an oxygen concentrator can cause the machine to overheat and increase the risk of malfunction. Therefore, when using an oxygen concentrator, you should use it as required and avoid overuse.
