Oxygen Generator

Oxygen is separated from air using unique zeolite ceramic molecular sieves. Dry, oil free air at ambient temperature and elevated pressure is passed through vessels (adsorbers) containing molecular sieve. The sieve holds on to (adsorbs) nitrogen molecules in preference to the oxygen molecules, thus separating oxygen from air. The nitrogen molecules are released (desorbed) from the sieve when the pressure in the adsorber is reduced, thus making the sieve fresh again (regeneration). Typically two vessels are employed for continuous supply of oxygen. The entire cycle is microprocessor controlled and no operator attention is required for normal operation.
