Oxygen concentrators take in regular air (which is about 21% oxygen), remove the other gases, and produce oxygen that is up to 95% pure.
- Most concentrators are about the size of a kitchen garbage can and weigh from 30 lb (15 kg) to 50 lb (25 kg).
- Also, portable concentrators that can be taken on an airplane, bus, train, or cruise ship are available. These weigh less than 20 lb (9 kg), and some even weigh less than 10 lb (5 kg). Portable concentrators can either be plugged into an electrical outlet or run on battery power.
- Concentrators don't need to be refilled like oxygen tanks do, so they may cost less and be more convenient. But unlike an oxygen tank, a concentrator runs on electricity, so you will need an oxygen tank as a backup in case the power goes out. --WebMD
