Oxygen generator

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As oxygen generator are (especially in the aerospace industry) equipment for the generation of oxygen called breathable gas supply.

A distinction is made in particular between chemical oxygen generators, which usually use sodium chlorate as the basis , and oxygen concentrators, which enrich oxygen from the air. Electrochemical systems based on the electrolysis of water or carbon dioxide (e.g. ceramic oxygen generators ) are also used. In some cases, systems that generate breathable gas from liquid oxygen are also referred to as oxygen generators.
