Oxygen concentrator is a kind of medical equipment which is mainly used to provide high purity oxygen for patients who need oxygen treatment.5 liter and 10 liter are two kinds of oxygen concentrator with different capacity, the difference is as follows:
1. Capacity:5 liter and 10 liter represent the oxygen flow rate that the oxygen concentrator can produce per minute.5 liter oxygen concentrator produces 5 liters of oxygen flow rate per minute, while 10 liter oxygen concentrator produces 10 liters of oxygen flow rate per minute. A 5-liter oxygen concentrator produces 5 liters of oxygen flow per minute, while a 10-liter oxygen concentrator produces 10 liters per minute. Therefore, a 10-liter oxygen concentrator has a greater capacity to supply oxygen than a 5-liter oxygen concentrator.
2. Applications:The 5-liter oxygen concentrator is typically used for patients with mild to moderate oxygen needs, such as some patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or heart disease, while the 10-liter oxygen concentrator is used for high-flow oxygen therapy needs, such as severe COPD, severe respiratory failure, or critically ill patients.
3. Equipment size and weight:In general, a 10-liter oxygen concentrator has a larger size and weight compared to a 5-liter oxygen concentrator. This is because it requires a larger oxygen generation unit and more internal components to meet the greater oxygen flow requirements.
