How Do Oxygen Concentrators Work?
Air is sucked into the device through several air filters and compressed to 4x the normal atmosphere pressure. It is then passed through several columns made of zeolite and this traps the nitrogen and allows the oxygen to pass through. Normally, nitrogen is 77% present in air and oxygen is 21%. Before the first column is saturated by nitrogen, a flow of air is introduced to the next column and it is discharged back into the atmosphere.
Oxygen Concentrators work by sucking air into a device through several air filters and compressing this air to 4 times the regular atmospheric pressure. Then the air is passed through several columns made of zeolite. The columns made of Zeolite ends up trapping the nitrogen and allows only the oxygen to pass through. Oxygen is normally only 21% of the air and nitrogen is 77%.
