Application of Oxygen Compressor

What is an oxygen compressor and where is it used?

A mixture of all gases in the air. Medical oxygen concentrators use PSA (pressure swing adsorption) technology to separate other gases from oxygen. The stored oxygen is directly transferred to the hospital through the existing medical gas pipeline system. This type of medical oxygen concentrator is reliable and cost-effective, but in order to maintain a rated backup to avoid bad situations, hospitals often keep oxygen cylinders as backups. If you install a high-pressure oxygen compressor or booster on the medical oxygen concentrator, these oxygen cylinders will automatically fill. The oxygen compressor or booster stores oxygen in a steel cylinder at a pressure of 150 barg, and it is recommended to keep it as a backup for 2 days.

Why do we need oxygen compressors to fill oxygen cylinders?

Now you may wonder why a hospital cannot automatically fill gas cylinders if it has already installed a medical oxygen concentrator. Why do we need oxygen compressors to fill gas cylinders? The answer is simple and reasonable. Storing oxygen in a steel cylinder requires high pressure, and to store things under high pressure, external pressure is necessary. This external pressure is supplied by an oxygen booster. Whenever the main supply (medical oxygen concentrator) is closed from the medical gas pipeline system, the steel cylinder will automatically start releasing oxygen, which is its working principle. In short, an oxygen compressor or booster installed together with a medical oxygen concentrator helps to store oxygen in cylinders as a backup. Oxygen is stored in steel cylinders at a pressure of 150 bar. The steel cylinder and medical oxygen concentrator are both connected to the same pipeline, and the primary supply source depends on the customer's wishes.

Why use an oxygen compressor to fill oxygen cylinders?

The oxygen cylinders supplied by the supplier include daily refueling, transportation costs, intermediary fees, and various other miscellaneous expenses. This makes your oxygen cylinder more valuable than its actual cost. In this situation, installing an oxygen compressor to fill oxygen cylinders would be much cheaper. In the long run, the cost will be lower as the original cost will be covered within a few months. In addition, there is always a risk of oxygen shortage during critical moments. If you have an oxygen compressor, this danger will also become negligible, as this skill will automatically fill the gas cylinder. If your hospital is located in hilly areas or earthquake prone areas, the transportation of oxygen cylinders is not easy, time and time again. You also need a designated storage space, or even a warehouse, to store these oxygen cylinders. The installation of oxygen cylinders will ensure that you do not have to pay any rated effort. Besides, we won't forget to mention that this excellent skill is pollution-free, low maintenance, and safe.
