Our region has an average altitude of over 4,000 meters, with a cold climate and oxygen deficiency. The oxygen deficiency in the Lhasa area reaches 36%. People who enter high-altitude areas and live in oxygen-deficient environments for a long time may feel adapted to it; however, this is merely a state of numbness caused by the lack of oxygen both mentally and physically. The damage caused by oxygen deficiency to the body does not disappear, leading to premature aging from appearance to internal organs. Therefore, regular oxygen supplementation is the only choice, and inhaling oxygen not only represents an improvement in quality of life but also has health-preserving and beautifying effects. In recent years, home oxygen generators have become a characteristic plateau health appliance. Compared to early chemical oxygen generation, modern home oxygen generators are gradually entering our households due to their convenience, reliability, and significant effects. However, many consumers often lack the skills to select an appropriate oxygen generator, so we will provide a brief introduction to the principles and selection techniques of oxygen generators.
---- When selecting an oxygen generator, it is important to first understand the oxygen production principle.
There are various brands of home oxygen generators on the market, mainly based on three principles: compression adsorption oxygen production, membrane oxygen production, and water electrolysis oxygen production. The compression adsorption method uses air as raw material, producing a large flow of oxygen with high concentration, suitable for medical institutions and industrial use. The membrane oxygen production method also uses air as raw material and is divided into two types: one is the flat membrane oxygen generator, which is low-cost and structurally simple but produces low oxygen concentration; the other is the hollow fiber membrane method, which generates a large flow of oxygen but is expensive. The Qinghai-Tibet Railway train oxygen supply system uses this oxygen production principle, but there are no home oxygen generators on the market using this technology yet. The water electrolysis method for oxygen production has more disadvantages and is less effective.
