In daily life and work, oxygen, as an important gas, is widely used in various fields. In order to meet the demand for oxygen in different fields, oxygen concentrators came into being. Among them, industrial oxygen concentrators and medical oxygen concentrators are the two most common oxygen concentrators. Although they are both used to produce oxygen, there are significant differences in design, function, application, and safety standards. Hengyetong will discuss the difference between industrial oxygen concentrator and medical oxygen concentrator with you, and get involved!
The main differences between industrial oxygen concentrators and medical oxygen concentrators are reflected in their use, operating principle and safety performance.
Uses: Industrial oxygen generators are mainly used to produce high-purity oxygen in industrial production processes for industrial equipment or process reactions, such as metallurgy, chemical industry, building materials, glass, machinery and other industries. The medical oxygen concentrator is mainly used in hospitals, clinics and other medical institutions to produce oxygen with a purity higher than 99% for clinical use, respiratory diseases, etc.
Principle of operation: Industrial oxygen generators usually use molecular sieve adsorption technology to separate molecules such as oxygen and nitrogen in the air through the action of catalysts, and finally obtain high-purity oxygen. The medical oxygen concentrator uses the pressure change adsorption method to separate the oxygen and other molecules in the air through the action of molecular sieve and compressed air to obtain high-purity oxygen.
Safety performance: Since the use of industrial oxygen concentrators is mainly in the industrial field, the requirements for safety performance are relatively low. The medical oxygen concentrator is used in the medical field, which is related to human health problems, so the safety performance requirements are high, and it must be professionally certified and tested to ensure that the equipment is stable and reliable, and will not affect the patient's ** because of equipment problems.
The main difference between an industrial oxygen concentrator and a medical oxygen concentrator is its purpose of use, operating principle and safety performance. Although they are both used to produce oxygen, medical oxygen concentrators have higher requirements for the purity and safety of oxygen to ensure patient safety and efficacy.
The above is to share with you the difference between industrial oxygen concentrators and medical oxygen concentrators, I hope that through the above content, we can let you have a further understanding and understanding of industrial oxygen concentrators and medical oxygen concentrators.
