What are Oxygen Generators?

Oxygen generators are a reliable and eco-friendly option that offers significant operational and cost advantages compared to traditional oxygen sources. This makes them essential for a wide range of uses in industry and health care. Oxywise is a leading provider of a variety of dependable and affordable PSA (Pressure Swing Absorption) oxygen generators. These are designed to meet the varied needs of different businesses and industrial activities and help you optimize your oxygen-related operations by providing superior cost-effectiveness, ease of use and reliability.

Oxygen generators are devices that offer a reliable and efficient way to produce oxygen right where it’s needed. They make use of compressed air, which approximately 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen, along with some other gases. These units then separate the oxygen from the other gases in the air.

This method moves away from older ways of getting oxygen, like using cylinders or liquid oxygen tanks that need regular refills and need ample space. Oxygen generators are especially useful where it’s hard to get oxygen because of where you are or cost issues.

The core technology in our oxygen generators is called Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA). It uses the unique traits of gases under pressure. The process starts by compressing the air and directing it into one of two vessels filled with a molecular sieve that captures nitrogen but lets oxygen flow through.

As the pressure builds, nitrogen gets caught in the molecular sieve, and the clean oxygen gas which is not absorbed by the sieve, is transferred to the buffer tank. When the sieve is full of nitrogen, the pressure is released, and the nitrogen goes back into the air. At the same time, the other tank is put under pressure. This cycle keeps going, ensuring a steady supply of oxygen.

oxygen generators that use Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology bring several key advantages for making oxygen right where it’s used:

• Cost Savings: Making oxygen on-site means companies can save a lot on the costs of moving, storing, and handling the usual bottled or liquid oxygen. It reduces the need for regular oxygen deliveries and the space needed to store it.
• High Purity: These PSA oxygen generators reliably make nearly pure oxygen, with concentrations of oxygen ranging from 90% to 95%. This precise control of purity levels means they can meet the specific oxygen needs for different uses with great accuracy.
• Dependable and Safe: The ability to make oxygen continuously on-site is extremely important, particularly in industries that rely heavily on oxygen. PSA technology reduces the risk of oxygen shortages. It also lessens the dangers that come with managing high-pressure oxygen cylinders.
• Adjustable to Needs: PSA oxygen generators are flexible and can be tailored to produce the right amount of oxygen needed. They can adjust the flow rate, purity, and pressure to match the specific demands of any size operation, from small workshops to large factories.
