This is a device that concentrates oxygen from a gas supply (typically ambient air) by selectively removing nitrogen to supply an oxygen-enriched product gas stream.
Basically they are used industrially and as medical devices for oxygen therapy. In this process there are two methods which are commonly used which are pressure swing adsorption and membrane gas separation. In short oxygen concentrator is a medical device that do give a person some extra oxygen.
WHAT OXYGEN CONCENTRATORS DO
Oxygen concentrators do take in air that is inside a room and then they filter out nitrogen. This process provides the higher amounts of oxygen needed for oxygen therapy. Concentrators may be large and stationary or small and portable.
