Technology
The Oxiti industrial oxygen concentrator uses pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology. Air consists of three primary gases: 21% oxygen, 78% Nitrogen, and 1% argon. An oxygen concentrator removes Nitrogen from the air.
Acniti uses a high-quality compressor in the oxygen concentrator, which compresses over 120 liters of air per minute. The compressed air is fed into an air dryer, where it removes moisture and other impurities. After the air-dryer, the air flows into one of the two oxygen sieves. In the sieve, Nitrogen molecules adhere to the zeolite under pressure, while oxygen passes through the sieve and flows into a small storage container. When the oxygen sieve saturates, which occurs in a matter of seconds, the solenoid valve system switches to the second sieve to repeat the process. The first sieve then depressurizes, allowing the Nitrogen to purge out of the sieve and the oxygen concentrator. This process is constantly repeated.
Quality components
The Oxiti utilizes high-quality components from Japanese and American manufacturers in a rugged aluminum casing. The quality components ensure a long life and easy maintenance with standard components. Many oxygen concentrators developed for the healthcare market are intended for home use and lack the strength, environmental design, and durability of industrial oxygen concentrators. The industrial-designed concentrators have larger and easier-to-wash inlet filters. Another focus point is the air drying after the compressor. Water easily attaches to the zeolite. Once the water attaches to the zeolite, the zeolite is no longer able to hold the Nitrogen, and the sieves need to be replaced.
The oxygen concentrator unit features a pressure gauge that allows the user to monitor the pressure at the inlet of the nanobubble generator. The oxiti supplies a pressure of 35 kPa. When higher pressures are required to dissolve larger quantities of gases more efficiently, please check the oxiti booster.
