Less complicated & less expensive parts than in a window air conditioner (only a small 20.5psi compressor). The Zeolite in the canisters has gotten a lot cheaper over the past decade. So why are these units still selling for $2,500-$6,500 in the USA, while they're only $250-$500 in the rest of the world? Is the USA health care system price-gouging?

Great video. However it said the argon gets filtered out by the sieve bed. It actually is concentrated along with oxygen and is the reason you can't get 100% oxygen. The best you can get is 95% oxygen and 5% argon.
Yes, water vapor, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and nitrogen are adsorbed. Argon and oxygen are adsorbed to a lesser extent so most of it makes it through

Hi Alfred, I think you need to contact Devillbis and change the molecular sieves, performance may drop already, so oxygen purity is not enough. Yellow light means purity below 82%. Chaning the intake filters won't be helpful
Where do the others gases exhaust to the open air? As in, all the gases that are not oxygen. Where do they exit the machine? These would be going out into the room right? It would diminish the air quality in the room. Hmm. Maybe oxygen machine are just AIR concentrators.
as long as the room isnt vacuum sealed, there is a constant cycling of breathable air column. unless youre located in the international space station, of course!
I just found 4 of these units next to a dumpster at a medical oxygen supply company. The cords were cut off. I brought them home and opened one - thinking that they cannot be too difficult to service. are they worth anything to someone who services them? Maybe you would buy them? I thought about calling your number but assumed you get too many calls giving out your number here.

There are high volume, low pressure systems out there, which consist of a holding tank, a compressor, a bunch of concentrators and a relay box that shifts the cons on, when the pressure in the tank gets too low.

Yes call the dme company who provided the equip. They will have special tester to make sure it's doing the job. And should be changing filter regularly
We use a Salter Labs Pro2 check elite to measure oxygen concentration at work where I repair these units. they are crazy expensive though and they have to be recalibrated every day to stay accurate. you need a cylinder of pure oxygen gas with a 2 liter per minute regulator to do the recalibration.
Lovely video. How does the oxygen sensor work? I have a O2 concentrator which does not have a O2 sensor (concentrators with 02 sensors were not available) and I am therefor never sure what is the amount O2 the machine produces.
The easiest cheapest way is to get one of those tiny O2 sensors that clip on your finger to show the O2 in your blood for $10-$20. When you use the machine, the O2 in your blood show go up if it's working properly.
@@PSKResearch Hi there. I see from your comments on this video that you're fairly knowledgeable about o2 concentrators & components. Any chance you could share a playlist or other resource for someone looking to build a functional concentrator from components? Thanks.
The Zeolite in these traps the nitrogen from the air under pressure of 20.5psi, but allows the O2 to pass through. There are only trace amounts of hydrogen in the atmosphere. Your easiest source of hydrogen would be through the electrolysis of water (H20).
Also where would you get hydrogen to concentrate? in our air there's only 500 PPB. That's B for billion. That translates to .00005%. It'd take (and i am guessing) decades to filter out enough to be usable.
Basically when you concentrate, it means to shift the element like from gas form to liquid with condensation to make a stronger/larger percentage in a area of it in one mass. you can't actually make elements by concentrating it/Generate. So it doesn't actually "make" that element it just releases it from its current state. So really only something like the LHC actually Make things/Generate more elements. So while you can Generate electricity you can't Generate more gold. but you can concentrate more of it together in a larger mass from smaller bits.
$2,500-$6,500 in the USA. $250-$500 in the rest of the world... it's how the USA expensive medical system works. Everybody gets filthy rich off the desperate pain relieving or life saving medical needs of the consumer. There's only $100-$200 of parts & materials inside these.
What do these machines do if they're left to run in a confined space? assuming that they detect that they have markedly reduced supply of oxygen to concentrate, and excess concentration of nitrogen as well? Do they alarm if this happens, or keep cycling the nitrogen in and out even after the availability of oxygen is gone? Thank you.
These machines put out 750ml to 5 liters per minute. There's 28 liters per cubic feet. There's 800 cubic feet in a small 10x10 8 foot tall room, or about 22,000 liters. 4,500 liters of that is oxygen. It would take 900 minutes (about 15 hours) to use up the O2 if the room was totally air tight with a 5L per minute machine. You shouldn't be locking yourself in a 10x10 airtight room if you have breathing problems anyway. However if you must, they come with long hoses, so just run the hose to the room, & keep the machine in another room.
The machine doesn't use o2. it separates it and vents both the o2 via the canula and the nitrogen via the exhaust back into the room where they recombine. You could run the concentrator in a sealed room forever and not change the o2 level of the room. Its interesting though to think of this. If you had a room where there was a serious chance of combustion you could seal it, run the concentrator in it, and have the o2 hose port into another room. No o2 no combustion problem solved. Maybe not very efficient but could work, especially for long term situations.
@@flyingsodwai1382 Correction: You could "run it forever" *IF* no person was breathing in the O2,which is not the case. Interesting the idea of filling a room with nitrogen for fire-proofing (no O2),but i guess rooms are difficult to completely seal off.

what do you think the problem of my concentrator,its sounds bad and at the same time white powder comes out maybe through its filter im not so sure...do i need to buy a new one or can buy o2parts for replacement???
+Janice laru-an Hello Janice. The white powder is most likely a seal leaking in side the sieve beds, allowing fine particles of material to escape out of the exhaust of the concentrator. You can purchase a set of sieve beds and install them your self. This will stop the white powder from coming out of your unit. If the unit "sounds bad" ,,, The compressor might need to be rebuilt. I would have to listen to it in order to be certain.

So while you can Generate electricity you can't Generate more gold. but you can concentrate more of it together in a larger mass from smaller bits.
They're the same thing. Beware of O3 ozone generators though. O3, AKA ozone is very bad for your lungs, & corrosive.
can you give me prise list of this machine?
$2,500-$6,500 in the USA. $250-$500 in the rest of the world... it's how the USA expensive medical system works. Everybody gets filthy rich off the desperate pain relieving or life saving medical needs of the consumer. There's only $100-$200 of parts & materials inside these.
@@PSKResearch AMAZING!!!!!
@@PSKResearch God you’re obsessed. Smoke some weed or something and calm down
Do concentrators make noise?
They make them as quiet as they can. You can hear the compressor and a pop now and then
Yes!
What do these machines do if they're left to run in a confined space? assuming that they detect that they have markedly reduced supply of oxygen to concentrate, and excess concentration of nitrogen as well? Do they alarm if this happens, or keep cycling the nitrogen in and out even after the availability of oxygen is gone? Thank you.
These machines put out 750ml to 5 liters per minute. There's 28 liters per cubic feet. There's 800 cubic feet in a small 10x10 8 foot tall room, or about 22,000 liters. 4,500 liters of that is oxygen. It would take 900 minutes (about 15 hours) to use up the O2 if the room was totally air tight with a 5L per minute machine. You shouldn't be locking yourself in a 10x10 airtight room if you have breathing problems anyway. However if you must, they come with long hoses, so just run the hose to the room, & keep the machine in another room.
The machine doesn't use o2. it separates it and vents both the o2 via the canula and the nitrogen via the exhaust back into the room where they recombine. You could run the concentrator in a sealed room forever and not change the o2 level of the room. Its interesting though to think of this. If you had a room where there was a serious chance of combustion you could seal it, run the concentrator in it, and have the o2 hose port into another room. No o2 no combustion problem solved. Maybe not very efficient but could work, especially for long term situations.
@@flyingsodwai1382 Correction: You could "run it forever" *IF* no person was breathing in the O2,which is not the case.
Interesting the idea of filling a room with nitrogen for fire-proofing (no O2),but i guess rooms are difficult to completely seal off.
What would typically cause a low concentration alarm?
#LIGHTNUNG_STORMS!!! Wē had a #STORM KNOCK OUT #POWER in #EASTER_2916 Evening for about #10SECS, (We have #BACKUP POWER), My #RESPIRONICS_EverFLO_Q_OPI went #BBBBEEEEEEEEPPPP!!!!? W/O #LEDS, #CAPACITOR
you keep mentioning "sid bed"...that seems to be the core of the machine, I wish you'd explain what's in there...and what's going on in there. Thanks.
Sieve bed, think of it as a strainer for gasses other than O2. If you search for "sieve bed" you'll find a bunch of vids on how they work.
what do you think the problem of my concentrator,its sounds bad and at the same time white powder comes out maybe through its filter im not so sure...do i need to buy a new one or can buy o2parts for replacement???
+Janice laru-an
Hello Janice. The white powder is most likely a seal leaking in side the sieve beds, allowing fine particles of material to escape out of the exhaust of the concentrator. You can purchase a set of sieve beds and install them your self. This will stop the white powder from coming out of your unit.
If the unit "sounds bad" ,,, The compressor might need to be rebuilt. I would have to listen to it in order to be certain.
+C.R.S. Concentrator Repair Services Inc.+ hi...i ship back the unit to the service center of the company where i got it ,after 5days they called to inform me the unit was fix already, no charges coz no changes of parts,i asked what happen??what's the reason??why there's powder?they didn't tell exact details..i must aware coz my husband used the machine 20/7 ..he diagnosed bronchiectasis since 2010 and been used 02machine for 2years... after repaired he used it only within 7days,,same problem again but this time its worst ,,my husband not feeling well,,spitting a blood due of continous using the machine w/out of knowing that he got not pure oxygen....i felt so bad ,.i ddn't call the company coz i know there's nothing i can do,everything was happened already...i search in internet sievebed was not available here in the philippines..i look for some new items online so very expensive..anyway can you please help me what to consider or know some facts when buying this thing....thank you for taking a time with my problem,and im sorry of my grammar ,im not good in english....thank you sir
Ask Your #PROVIDER to #CHECK the #SIEVE_BEDS for #LEAKS! It maybe #BROKEN_UP #ZEOLITE_PELLETS You see as #WHITE_POWDER.
+Janice laru-an And ask Your #PROVIDER for the #PRICE of #NEW #SIEVE_BEDS, to #REPLACE #LEAKING #SIEVE_BEDS. It sounds like Your HUSBAND shouldʻve gone back till He could get a #LOANER CONCENTRATOR, BREATHING in #White_Powder bad for Him! Hope He can get much better son!!
I am glade god gave me a brain to understand how things work way above that of a technician but I also did things like drinking and other things that it interfered with my schooling, stay in school don't let so called friends talk you into partying and don't let teachers program your individuality to be a robot be yourself.
+Jesse Reiter bless you Jesse, your a smart man
Dang I just subscribed!!!!! Now you got 666 subs! Kinda feel bad for ya!
Sounds great. The gentleman is speaking in lay terms to lay people in a manner that informs not baffles with bullshit. Thanks.
I have quite a number of these units and was wondering if you ever need any of the parts inside. I've broken down a couple and plan to look over the pumps to see if they need a rebuild kit. I might completely refurbish some and sell parts from others. Thanks for the video!
I need a oxygen concentrator
Does it compress/concentrate room air Radon gas and deliver it in with the Oxygen? i.e.: 95% oxygen 5% Radon as output?
Ignoramus talking.
