Oxygen concentrators have been one of the most sought-after devices for oxygen therapy in hospitals. But, do you know what an oxygen concentrator is? The air we breathe in is a mixture of several gases. It has 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen, with other gases making up the remaining one percent. Then, how do we actually separate oxygen to fill our oxygen cylinders? Our trusted oxygen concentrators do that for us! An oxygen concentrator is a very important medical device that helps us separate and concentrate oxygen from the ambient atmosphere. So, how do oxygen concentrators help patients with breathing difficulties? How are the different gases in the air separated? Does the concentrator use the process of adsorption or absorption to filter the other gases in the atmosphere? How does an oxygen concentrator actually work? Watch the video and find answers to all these questions.
Do you know the difference between adsorption and absorption? Let us know in the comments below.
