What is the difference between a portable oxygen generator and an oxygen cylinder?

 As the human environment is getting worse, the food hormone content is too much, which has led to an increase in the incidence of diseases year by year. Many people are slowly coming into the sight of human beings in order to improve their own air living environment. We all know that high-purity oxygen in hospitals comes from oxygen cylinders, so we not only ask what is the difference between the oxygen produced by the oxygen machine for home and the oxygen cylinders in the hospital, are the two the same?

In fact, to put it simply, the fundamental issue we are worried about is the purity of the oxygen produced by the hospital’s oxygen cylinders and portable oxygen concentrators. Generally speaking, the oxygen concentration of the hospital’s oxygen cylinders is 99%, and the concentration produced by the medical oxygen generator is 93%. The average value between the two is different, but the high-purity oxygen of the hospital oxygen cylinder is produced by the action of pressure. A bottle of oxygen consumes a limited time, so it is mainly used for emergency or disease needs. The main function of the medical oxygen generator is its own family health care. Now the portable oxygen concentrator can also adjust the required oxygen concentration according to its own needs. So if it is used by our general family, reaching a certain oxygen concentration is enough to maintain our health.

The oxygen stored in the oxygen cylinder is also produced by the oxygen concentrator machine, so there is no problem that the oxygen concentration in the oxygen cylinder is higher than that of the oxygen making machine. Of course, it must be in a state where the concentration of oxygen making machine output is high-concentration oxygen (for example, a 3L machine requires a flow rate of 3L and below). At present, most hospitals adopt the central oxygen supply mode. Oxygen is produced by the oxygen making machine in the central oxygen room. The separated oxygen is diverted to the bedside of each ward through pipelines. The principle of the oxygen concentrator in the central computer room is the same as that of the portable oxygen concentrator. PSA molecular sieve is also used to produce oxygen. Of course, it is larger and has more functions. The oxygen cylinders we have seen are filled with oxygen using this oxygen concentrator.

The portable oxygen concentrator can produce oxygen when it is powered on, so if it is used in the home, it is recommended to use a portable oxygen concentrator as the first choice. Here is a reminder that although hospital oxygen cylinders can produce high-purity oxygen, it is more dangerous to use too many items due to excessive pressure.
