What is the continuous flow oxygen concentrator?

An oxygen concentrator is a machine that can provide pure oxygen (with an oxygen purity of >95%) to the user. There are two types of oxygen concentrators classified by their oxygen output method: continuous flow oxygen concentrators and pulse flow oxygen concentrators. 

 

A continuous flow oxygen concentrator is an oxygen machine that delivers a constant, steady stream of oxygen to the user. 

 

A pulse flow oxygen concentrator is an oxygen concentrator that delivers pulse flow oxygen to the user according to their breathing frequency. When the user inhales, the machine outputs oxygen; when the user exhales, the machine stops outputting oxygen.

 

What are the advantages of a continuous flow oxygen concentrator? 

 

A continuous flow oxygen concentrator delivers constant oxygen, so it is very suitable for patients with high oxygen demands. Additionally, the oxygen flow of a continuous flow oxygen concentrator is stable and not affected by the user’s breathing, making it very suitable for use at night during sleep and for patients with very shallow breathing. 

 

The continuous flow oxygen concentrator requires a higher-power motor to continuously compress air into the molecular sieve within the device. Consequently, it is typically heavier than a pulse flow oxygen concentrator, and its price is usually higher as well. 

 

Hidgeem SJ-OX1C and SJ-OX1A are both continuous flow oxygen concentrators.

 

Our oxygen concentrators SJ-OX1C and SJ-OX1A are both continuous flow oxygen concentrators.

 

 

SJ-OX1A is a home-use oxygen concentrator, and SJ-OX1C is a portable oxygen machine, it supports AC power, car charger and battery.

 

The battery of the SJ-OX1C is rechargeable; one battery can support 2 hours of working time. You can also place 4 spare batteries in the carrying case, resulting in a total working time of 10 hours.
