The difference between oxygen coming out of industrial oxygen generators and oxygen cylinders

Industrial oxygen machines are the more common oxygen therapy equipment in our lives, absorbing room air, removing the nitrogen from it and providing up to 95% pure oxygen. Some of the conditions that may cause a patient to experience low oxygen levels include recovery from surgery, COPD, sleep apnea and anemia. A simple way to increase the oxygen level in the blood is to use a portable oxygen machine or oxygen concentrator.

Many patients who need oxygen therapy have questions about oxygen supply equipment and wonder whether to choose an industrial oxygen machine or an oxygen cylinder. In fact, for this question is not very good answer, both of these two devices have their own advantages and disadvantages, in order to facilitate your understanding, I will explain the principle and the advantages and disadvantages of oxygen cylinder oxygen supply one by one.

Is the oxygen coming out of industrial oxygen generators and oxygen cylinders the same?

First of all, you can be sure that the oxygen machine and the oxygen cylinder out of oxygen are the same, the general oxygen concentration is above 90%, the oxygen cylinder oxygen concentration is above 99%, from the concentration of the oxygen cylinder is more concentrated.

Short-term oxygen intake is recommended to choose oxygen cylinders

Generally speaking, for short-term temporary oxygen intake, oxygen cylinders are a better choice. In fact, the oxygen cylinder has its advantages, which are high oxygen concentration, high flow rate, and good silence. The oxygen inside the cylinder is rushed in at high pressure at the filling station, so the oxygen pressure inside the cylinder is very high, and the oxygen flow can be adjusted to a high level.

There is another advantage of oxygen cylinders is "quiet", oxygen cylinder oxygen supply without additional noise, the use of very quiet, basically will not affect the patient rest.

There are advantages and disadvantages, the biggest disadvantage of oxygen cylinders is that they need to be replaced and inflated frequently, for those who live in remote places, it is not very convenient to inflate and change, if the patient's oxygen demand is high, then it may be necessary to change 2-3 bottles of oxygen a day, which is still relatively troublesome.

Why do I recommend the short-term priority use of oxygen cylinders? Because in the short term, the cost of an oxygen cylinder is low, currently a bottle of oxygen is about 20 yuan, one bottle a day, almost 600 yuan a month, one or two months of use is not very expensive, but after a long time, it is not recommended to use oxygen cylinders for oxygen.

Long-term use recommended industrial oxygen machine

Generally more than six months I recommend the use of oxygen machines, the reason is that the long-term cost is lower, the use is also convenient.

Oxygen is produced through the molecular sieve inside the machine, the molecular sieve can sieve out the nitrogen in our air, the remaining gas is oxygen and very few rare gases.

The advantage of oxygen inhalation is that oxygen is inexhaustible, as long as the equipment is not broken, then you can always have oxygen, unlike oxygen cylinders, which need to be replaced and inflated regularly. From a long-term perspective than oxygen cylinders to save money, the current price of a three-liter oxygen machine in about 3,000 yuan, as long as the oxygen intake time is higher than 6 months, then the cost is lower than the cost of oxygen cylinders.

The disadvantage is that the sound is relatively large, the sound of operation is generally around 40 several decibels, the sound is fine during the day, at night the sound is still quite loud, so it is a problem for patients who are sensitive to sound.

Another disadvantage is that the flow of oxygen is limited, like three liters of oxygen machine when the flow rate is adjusted to more than 3, the oxygen concentration will be reduced to 90% or less, and so on, five liters of oxygen machine is adjusted to more than 5 oxygen concentration will drop.
