PSA Pressure Swing Adsorption Oxygen Generation Technology
PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) is the mainstream technology in the current medical-grade oxygen generation field. Its core principle is to leverage the selective adsorption properties of molecular sieves (our oxygen concentrators use high-end models such as CECA molecular sieves imported from France). Under pressure, the molecular sieve preferentially adsorbs nitrogen (approximately 78%) in the air, allowing only oxygen (approximately 21%) to pass through and be enriched. Under pressure, the molecular sieve releases the adsorbed nitrogen, regenerating the air. This creates a “pressurized oxygenation-depressurized regeneration” cycle, continuously producing high-purity oxygen.
Industry Leadership
Purity Stability: All products equipped with this technology (including portable and fixed models) consistently deliver a medical-grade oxygen concentration of 93% ± 3%, with minimal purity fluctuation within a variable flow rate range of 1-7 L/min. This performance far exceeds that of non-medical-grade oxygen concentrators (typically achieving oxygen concentrations below 80%), meeting the long-term oxygen therapy needs of patients with COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, and other conditions.
Oxygen Production Efficiency: Compared to traditional chemical oxygen generation (which requires oxygen generator replacement) and membrane separation oxygen generation (which suffers from low oxygen concentration and is significantly affected by ambient temperature), PSA technology requires no external consumables and can produce qualified oxygen within 30 seconds of power-up. Its rapid response makes it suitable for acute hypoxia scenarios (such as altitude sickness and asthma attacks).
Adaptability Optimization: For high-altitude scenarios (such as plateau travel and mountaineering), some models (such as the 5L Adjustable Oxygen Treatment Machine) have been upgraded with a high-altitude adaptive PSA algorithm. This algorithm automatically adjusts pressurization/decompression parameters at altitudes between 0 and 5,500 meters (including 5,364 meters at Mount Everest Base Camp), preventing oxygen concentration degradation caused by reduced air pressure and ensuring a stable SpO₂ (blood oxygen saturation) above 94%.
High-Efficiency Oil-Free Compressor Technology
The compressor is the powerhouse of the oxygen concentrator, responsible for providing a stable pressurized environment for the PSA system. Our products utilize an oil-free compressor design, replacing traditional lubricants with polymer sealing materials to prevent oil evaporation and oxygen contamination. Optimized compressor cylinder structures (such as a two-cylinder pure copper compressor) also enhance airtightness and heat dissipation efficiency.
Industry Leadership
Oxygen Cleanliness: The oil-free design eliminates oil mist contamination at the source. Combined with the subsequent multi-layer air filtration system, the final oxygen output is free of impurities and odor, meeting the “sterile airway” standards for medical equipment. This makes it particularly suitable for pregnant women, newborns, and patients with sensitive respiratory systems (such as asthma), minimizing the risk of secondary infection.
Energy Consumption and Lifespan: Compared to traditional oil-containing compressors, oil-free models consume 38% less energy (according to official website data), reduce component wear caused by lubricant aging, and extend the equipment lifespan to 8-10 years (compared to the industry average of approximately 5-6 years). Furthermore, reduced mechanical friction during compressor operation paves the way for “ultra-quiet” operation.
Scenario adaptability: Portable products (such as the 2L Smallest Portable Oxygen Concentrator) use a “micro oil-free compressor” to ensure a lightweight design of 1.2-2.2kg while still providing stable power to meet the continuous oxygen production needs of mobile scenarios such as outdoor activities and commuting.
Multi-level Air Filtration System
In response to air pollutants in different scenarios (such as dust, bacteria, odor, PM2.5), our company’s products have built a three-level filtration system of “pre-filtration – deep purification – terminal protection”. The specific levels are configured differently according to the product positioning (fixed types focus more on comprehensive filtration, and portable types focus on lightweight filtration).

Special Optimizations
Stationary products (such as the 5L Medical Oxygen Maker for Home) feature an upgraded 10-layer filtration system and an integrated sterile airway design, ensuring a contamination-free process from air intake to oxygen delivery. Portable products (such as the 3L Mini Mobile Oxygen Concentrator) feature a removable and washable filter, allowing users to clean the filter regularly and reducing maintenance costs.
Ultra-Quiet Noise Reduction Technology
Operating noise from oxygen concentrators is a key user experience issue, especially during nighttime use and office environments. This website utilizes a triple noise reduction solution: “Source noise reduction + structural vibration reduction + air duct optimization” to keep operating noise levels at industry-leading levels.
Technical Details and Leadership
Source noise reduction: The oil-free compressor’s inherent mechanical noise is 15-20dB lower than traditional oil-based models. The motor’s shock-absorbing silicone pads reduce vibration transmission to the unit.
Structural Optimization: The unit utilizes a “double-layer shell + soundproofing padding” design (such as the 5L Freestyle Comfort Oxygen Concentrator). The outer shell is made of ABS soundproofing material, while the inner layer is covered with high-density sound-absorbing padding, absorbing over 30% of high-frequency noise.
Air duct optimization: A “curved air duct” is designed through fluid dynamics simulation to avoid turbulent air noise within the duct; some models (such as the 2L Smallest Portable) use a “silencer mesh” on the air outlet to further reduce airflow noise.
