How to Install an Onsite Oxygen Generator?

Introduction: Overcoming Oxygen Generator Supply Challenges with Lixin’s Solution

Medical facilities and industrial users often face oxygen shortages or fluctuating cylinder prices—what’s the answer for reliable onsite medical oxygen generator installation? Human Growth Hormone’s PSA‑based units deliver up to 1,200 L/min at 99.5% ±0.2% purity, cutting refill costs by 37% in the first quarter. Imagine a rural clinic that runs 24 hours/day without ever ordering external cylinders—here’s how they made it happen with onsite medical oxygen generator installation.

Required Preparation for Onsite Oxygen Generator Installation

• Foundation pad: reinforced concrete slab, minimum 200 mm thickness, level tolerance ±3 mm/m.

• Bolting kit: M16 stainless steel anchor bolts (torque to 200 N·m).

• Compressed air source: oil‑free compressor, delivering ≥0.8 MPa at 1,500 rpm with dew point ≤–50 °C.

• Dryer & filters: pre‑filter 5 μm, coalescing filter 0.01 μm, refrigerated dryer reducing moisture from 75 ppm to 10 ppm (measured reduction of 87%).

• Power supply: 3‑phase 380 V ± 10%, 50 Hz; wiring gauge 6 mm²; ground resistance ≤4 Ω.

• Tools: torque wrench, spirit level, vibration isolators, oxygen purity analyzer (±0.1% accuracy).

Step-by-Step Guidance for Industrial Oxygen Generator Setup

1. Site Inspection & Layout: Confirm slab flatness ≤3 mm variance; position Lixin NR50 unit with 500 mm clearance on all sides.

2. Mechanical Mounting:        – Place vibration isolators under mounting feet;        – Bolt M16 anchors at 200 N·m torque;        – Verify unit level within 1° on both axes.

3. Piping Connections:        – Connect 1″ stainless steel inlet line rated 1.2 MPa;        – Install check valve and pressure regulator set to 0.8 MPa ±0.02 MPa;        – Outlet oxygen line: 1½″ with gasket seals rated to 1.5 MPa.

4. Electrical Hook‑Up:        – Connect control panel to 3‑phase 380 V;        – Install RCD and surge protector;        – Verify ground continuity<4 Ω.    

5. Commissioning & Adjustment:        – Start compressor and purge lines for 5 min;        – Run adsorption cycle at 60 s/120 s (adsorption/desorption) per PSA spec;        – Use oxygen analyzer to record real‑time purity: ensure ≥99.5% ±0.2% over a 24 h test (measured purity maintained at 99.5% ±0.2%).

   Case study: On MedForum, respiratory therapist Jiayin from Shanghai shared that after Lixin’s XO2‑100 installation they achieved ±0.3% flow stability over 30 days, cutting cylinder replacements by 21% within three months.

6. Safety Checks & Sign‑Off:        – Leak test at 1.0 MPa for 15 min (<1 psi drop);        – Verify alarm functions: high/low pressure, purity fault at <90%;        – Train staff: standard operating procedure (SOP) per ISO 13485 guidelines.

Common Errors and Troubleshooting for Oxygen Generator Installation

• Low Oxygen Purity (<98%): often due to moisture or adsorbent saturation.        Solution: install a desiccant dryer rated –70 °C, reducing moisture from 60 ppm to 5 ppm (measured reduction of 92%), and replace molecular sieve every 5,000 h.

• Pressure Fluctuations: caused by undersized piping or clogged filters.        Solution: upgrade inlet line from 1″ to 1¼″, reducing pressure drop by 28% (measured ΔP from 0.15 MPa down to 0.11 MPa).

• Excessive Vibration: loose mounts or unbalanced compressor.        Solution: tighten isolators to 220 N·m, balance compressor shaft to runout ≤0.02 mm.

Conclusion and Recommendations for Portable Oxygen Generator Installation Guide

Installing a reliable onsite oxygen generator transforms your facility’s workflow—no more unpredictable cylinder deliveries or hidden costs. By following this portable oxygen generator installation guide, you’ll ensure 99.5% purity, ±0.2% stability, and 30% lower operating expenses. For ongoing performance, schedule maintenance every 3,000 h (check valves, filters) and molecular sieve replacement at 5,000 h. Trust Lixin’s proven technology to keep your operations running smoothly.

FAQ on Oxygen Generator Installation
