If a person has respiratory problems such as asthma， chronic obstructive pulmonary disease， lung disease or when undergoing surgery and some other problems， the level of oxygen in the person's body often becomes low. For such a person， doctors often recommend the use of supplemental oxygen. The recent COVID outbreak has also made us aware of the use and importance of medical oxygen.

Unprecedented times have taught us that it is rarely available to those who need it most. And， even when it is available somewhere， it is often expensive and generally troublesome for the least fortunate (India experienced a terrible shortage of ICU beds or ventilators in the COVID-19 pandemic). This is why all medical centers must develop medical oxygen systems and install on-site gas generators to provide an uninterrupted supply of oxygen whenever needed.

PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) technology is a practical option for the on-site generation of oxygen for medical use. It has been used in the medical industry for over 30 years.

What is an oxygen concentrator?

Oxygen generator equipment uses a bed of molecular sieves to separate pure oxygen from the atmosphere and distribute air to people with low blood oxygen levels. On-site oxygen concentrators are cost-effective and more efficient than traditional oxygen tanks. Learn how medical oxygen generators work and the main components of these generators.

How do medical oxygen generators work?

An oxygen generator is like an air conditioner in our homes， it takes in air， changes it and delivers it in a different form (cold air). Medical oxygen is produced from ambient air and delivered to people who need oxygen due to low oxygen levels in their blood. In the past， medical facilities relied mainly on oxygen cylinders and dewars， but since the development of technology， hospitals and nursing homes prefer on-site medical oxygen generators because they are cost effective， efficient and safe to handle.

The working process of a medical oxygen generator

1. The generator obtains air from the atmosphere.

2. Compress the oxygen.

3. Remove the nitrogen from the air.

4. Adjust the way of gas delivery.

5. Deliver the purified air to the user.

The main components of oxygen generator

Air compressor: It helps to push the room air into the machine and push it into the molecular sieve bed.

Filter: The filter helps to filter out the impurities from the air.

Molecular sieves: There are two molecular sieve beds in the plant. These sieves have the ability to trap nitrogen gas.

Switching valves: These valves help to switch the compressed air flow between the molecular sieve towers.

Flow meter: Helps to set the flow rate in liters per minute.

Benefits of having your own on-site oxygen generator:

Before using the oxygen generation system on site, many enterprises have no choice but to buy Oxygen elsewhere. However, the use of on-site oxygen generator can eliminate all the troubles related to bulk purchase of oxygen. Our oxygen generator is an option with the greatest benefit: the average cost of producing oxygen by ourselves is one-third to one-half lower than the cost associated with purchasing oxygen. Using the on-site oxygen generator system, there is no need to pay the freight when purchasing oxygen. Our oxygen generator system usually allows you to recover the cost within 18 months.

In addition to economy, the oxygen generator system of the on-site oxygen generator also provides:

Reliability - the oxygen generator system on site uses the surrounding air to generate oxygen. Therefore, our customers never have to worry about the lack of oxygen. Reduce stress - improve safety through storage. Simple - we make it easy for people without relevant equipment experience. The visual touch screen control can control the stability of gas purity. At the same time, it can operate self diagnosis, visual operation diagram and maintenance plan reminder on the screen. Flexibility - our equipment is small and can be transported under various conditions, so as long as there is air and electricity, the equipment can operate stably anywhere. Fully automatic - once a downstream request is detected, production begins.

Why use Xite oxygen generator?

Our oxygen generator system provides reliable on-site oxygen supply for various industries, which is famous in China and Southeast Asia. Our on-site oxygen system can produce oxygen with purity up to 99.999%. For our oxygen generator, it can meet the oxygen production in any place and any complex environment.
