Title: | Oxygen Enrichment Unit |
Area: | Life Sciences & Biotechnology, Medical Sciences |
Focus Area: | Oxygen Enrichment |
Social Benefits: | Low Flow: Flow Rate: 0.5-5 LPM , Oxygen purity: 90 - 96% . Medium Flow: Flow Rate: 5-10 LPM , Oxygen purity: 70 - 90% , High Flow: Flow Rate: 10-30 LPM , Oxygen purity: 30 - 70% . With an optional plug-in module, the same unit can work in high altitudes as well (up to 14000 ft). However, the maximum flow will be reduced to 10 LPM and more than 90% oxygen enrichment will be available until 1.5 LPM. |
