Re: Argh! O2 tank valve left open again; want oxygen concentrator

[Guest guest]

Did you put teflon tape on the valve threads before screwing on the

regulator?

Did you tighten the regulator nut enough?.... It needs to be tight!

Sounds to me like you are leaking O2 because the regulator nut is not tight

enough.

Look up an Invacare " Precise Rx Pediatric Flowmeter " for the O2

concentrator.

The above works only on Invacare brand

Concentrators still put out 3-5% nitrogen which is not good in corona

discharge ozone units. Will make nitrogen oxides

But if you do get a concentrator all you need is to feed the output

into>>>>>

a PVC pipe tee (splitter) with a valve at one end to throw off the excess

oxygen. Other end of tee feeding into your ozone generator

I have an O2 concentrator and it shuts off if I have it run lower than 2

liters per minute. I think their best use is in ozone saunas

Mine works just fine on a non Invacare O2 concentrator.

I think so.

Back when this happened the first time, I asked the place

where I bought the equipment (Ozone Services) about it,

and I was told that it was not uncommon for the flow regulators,

when on " 0 " , to still let a bit of O2 through,

and that I needed to shut off the tank valve whenever

I wasn't using the generator.

Thanx.
