Differences between Plateau PSA Oxygen Concentrators and Ordinary Oxygen Concentrators

Summary: The so-called plateau oxygen concentrator and ordinary oxygen concentrator are essentially the same. Their difference lies in whether they can meet the oxygen needs of different groups at different altitudes.    As we all know, the higher the altitude, the lower the oxygen content. The hypoxic environment causes people to feel unwell. Therefore, the demand for oxygen in low-altitude and high-altitude areas is different. The core of plateau oxygenation (or plateau oxygen enrichment) is to solve the problem of hypoxia. The solution mainly involves simulating the partial pressure of oxygen in a low-altitude environment by increasing the oxygen concentration. It can be approximately considered that for every 1% increase in the oxygen concentration in the air, the altitude decreases by 300-350 meters. Therefore, when

So-called plateau oxygen generators and ordinary oxygen generators have no essential difference; their difference lies in whether they can meet the oxygen needs of different groups at different altitudes.
 
  As we all know, the higher the altitude, the lower the oxygen content. Hypoxic environments cause people to feel unwell. Therefore, the oxygen demand in low-altitude and high-altitude areas is different. The core of plateau oxygenation (or plateau oxygen enrichment) is to solve the problem of hypoxia. The method mainly simulates the partial pressure of oxygen in a low-altitude environment by increasing the oxygen concentration. It can be approximately considered that for every 1% increase in the oxygen concentration in the air, the altitude decreases by 300-350 meters. Therefore, when the oxygen concentration increases, the partial pressure of oxygen will be closer to that of sea level; of course, the oxygen concentration is not the higher the better. A higher oxygen concentration will cause too much difference in oxygen partial pressure between indoors and outdoors, making it difficult for people to adapt after going out, and it will also bring fire safety hazards and unnecessary oxygen waste. A relatively suitable oxygen concentration is about 23%-26%.
 
  In addition to altitude, specialized plateau oxygen-enrichment manufacturers will also calculate air consumption based on the local atmospheric temperature and humidity and equip air compressors with appropriate power. In addition, factors such as the volume of the oxygen-enriched environment, the room's oxygen-enrichment level, room sealing, window opening frequency, oxygen-enrichment establishment time, oxygen supply flow rate, and personnel oxygen consumption will also be comprehensively considered. It is these factors that truly distinguish the so-called "ordinary oxygen generators".
