What Is an Oxygen Generator?

So What Exactly Is an Oxygen Generator?

Every day, many people in the medical field or in a number of industries work with medical-grade oxygen. Most applications for oxygen use oxygen cylinders, or bulk oxygen in the form of liquid O2, which must be delivered to the place of use. However, cost savings can be achieved by using an in-house oxygen generator. An oxygen generator separates oxygen from nitrogen and other components found in compressed air using a unique selective adsorption technology. Oxygen in the air is made to pass through a gas separator called molecular sieve, which separates out all the nitrogen, leaving high purity oxygen available for direct use, or to be compressed into cylinders. This process is called PSA, which stands for pressure swing adsorption, which is the technology used in most standard in-house oxygen generators and concentrators. Below is a description of how PSA technology is incorporated into NOVAIR’s high-quality medical and industrial oxygen generators.

How Does a PSA Oxygen Generator Work?
