How many types of oxygen concentrators are there?

Oxygen concentrators can be divided into 4 types according to the different oxygen production principles.

1.Molecular Sieve Oxygen Concentrator (PSA Oxygen Concentrator)

Advantages:

• It can provide high concentrations of oxygen, suitable for medical and home oxygen therapy.
• The technology is mature, stable, easy to operate and maintain.
• The equipment usually has an intelligent control system that can monitor the oxygen concentration and working status in real time.

Disadvantages:

• Molecular sieves need to be replaced regularly, and the replacement cost is high.
• The equipment is relatively heavy and inconvenient to move.
• There may be some noise during long-term operation.

Higreen Health portable oxygen concentrator 1001S largely solves the shortcomings of traditional molecular sieve oxygen concentrators:

• 1-5L large flow rate is adjustable
• Removable battery, lasting up to 3 hours
• Oxygen concentration ≥ 90% at 1L
• Small size and light weight design, suitable for outdoor use
• Continuous flow mode to meet oxygen inhalation needs
• Digital display operation, battery life can be checked at any time

2. Oxygen-enriched membrane oxygen generator

This type of oxygen generator uses special membrane materials to separate oxygen and nitrogen in the air. Usually produces a lower concentration of oxygen. Suitable for oxygen therapy, but not for first aid in severe hypoxia.

Advantages:

• Simple structure and easy to use.
• Can provide lower concentration of oxygen, suitable for oxygen therapy.

Disadvantages:

• The oxygen concentration produced is low. Not suitable for first aid in severe hypoxia.
• Long-term use may require higher maintenance costs.

• Ultra-light design, only 0.6KG (1.3lbs) for easy carrying
• Equipped with a removable 4-hour long-life battery
• 3±0.3L continuous flow exceeds most portable oxygen concentrators
• Using oxygen-enriched membrane technology to supply humidified oxygen
• Free backpack, more convenient for use when going out

3. Electronic oxygen generator

Electronic oxygen generator produces oxygen in solution through chemical reaction. However, this type of oxygen generator has strict requirements in handling and use, and the oxygen produced contains chemicals and consumes a lot of electricity.

Advantages:

• It can provide higher concentration of oxygen.
• The equipment runs relatively quietly.

Disadvantages:

• It has strict requirements in handling and use. Otherwise, there may be safety hazards.
• The produced oxygen contains chemicals and may not be suitable for all users.

4. Chemical oxygen generator

Use specific chemicals to produce oxygen under specific conditions. However, the equipment is simple, the operation is troublesome, and the cost of use is high. It cannot be used continuously. It is not suitable for long-term oxygen therapy at home.

Advantages:

• It can quickly provide high concentration of oxygen, which is suitable for emergencies.

Disadvantages:

• The equipment is simple, the operation is troublesome, and the cost of use is high.
• Long-term use may be harmful to health.
