2.0 Safety
2.1 General
Oxygen, the most abundant of the elements, makes up about 50 percent
of the earth's crust. In its free state, it forms about one-fifth of our air by
volume. Although oxygen is classified as a non-flammable gas, it
supports combustion. As an active element, it combines directly or
indirectly with all elements except the rare gases. It is an invisible gas that
is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.
To ensure your safety, thoroughly read and familiarize yourself with this
Safety section. AirSep Corporation strongly recommends that you review
this section periodically.
2.2 Potential Hazards
Before you attempt to install, operate, or repair the CENTROX Oxygen
Concentrator, read and thoroughly understand this instruction manual.
Improper operation can result in severe bodily injury, damage to the
system, or poor performance.
It is recommended to have an alternate source of
oxygen supply if a power failure or equipment
malfunction occurs.
Take extreme care to keep all the oxygen piping and
vessel clean. To avoid a fire or an explosion, oxygen
clean all surfaces that can come in contact with oxygen.
Check all oxygen fittings/joints for leaks with an
ox
en-compatible leak-detecting solution.
CENTROX Instruction Manual 2-1
AirSep® Corporation
Oxygen vigorously accelerates the burning of
combustible materials. In an oxygen-enriched
atmosphere, many materials that do not burn in
normal air require only a slight spark or moderate
heat to set them aflame.
To avoid a fire or an explosion, keep gasoline,
kerosene, oil, grease, cotton fibers, paint, and any
other combustible material away from any part of the
CENTROX Oxygen Concentrator or optional auxiliary
oxygen receiver.
Do not smoke or use an open flame near the oxygen
concentrator or optional auxiliary oxygen receiver.
Post "NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAMES" signs in
the area where the oxygen concentrator and optional
auxiliary oxygen receiver are located. AirSep
STRONGLY recommends that only individuals trained
and experienced in the safe handling of oxygen
operate this system.
The interior of the CENTROX Oxygen Concentrator
contains electrical parts that can produce an electrical
hazard if not handled properly. To prevent electrical
shock, read and thoroughly understand the
Troubleshooting section of this instruction manual
before you service the system.
Connect the oxygen concentrator power cord to a
properly grounded wall outlet on a circuit that cannot
be accidentally turned off. Do not use extension
cords.
To prevent fire or electrical shock, locate the oxygen
concentrator and the auxiliary oxygen receiver (if
supplied) indoors away from rain or any other type of
moisture.

3.0 System Description
3.1 Introduction
Air Contains 21 % oxygen, 78% nitrogen, 0.9% argon, and 0.1% other
gases. AirSep Oxygen Concentrator separates this small percentage of
the oxygen from the compressed air through a unique Pressure Swing
Adsorption (PSA) process.
The CENTROX unit consists of two enclosures. The smaller enclosure
contains two compressors that supply air for the process. Each
compressor has a dedicated switch and circuit breaker. The cord from the
enclosure plugs into the PSA enclosure. This cord must not be plugged
into any other power supply outlet. Circuitry inside the PSA enclosure
controls the power supplied to the compressors. The power cord from the
PSA enclosure plugs into the wall. Figure 3.1 shows the two enclosures
of the CENTROX oxygen concentrator.
PSA Enclosure
The compressor enclosure (See Figure 3.1) supplies pressurized air to
the PSA enclosure (See Figure 3.1). Inside the PSA enclosure, the
pressurized air enters the feed & waste manifold (See Figure 4.4). A
series of valves in the feed & waste manifold controls the flow of air into
each of the adsorber beds (See Figure 4.4). Valves also connect the beds
to two mufflers (See Figure 4.4) that allow waste gas to be vented from
the beds. The oxygen concentrator uses in its adsorber vessels an inert
ceramic material called molecular sieve to separate compressed air into
the oxygen and the other gases. The unique properties of molecular sieve
allow it to attract, or adsorb, nitrogen physically from air under pressure.
Compressor
Figure 3.1: CENTROX Oxygen Concentrator
CENTROX Instruction Manual 3-1
AirSep® Corporation
This allows oxygen to exit the adsorbers as a product gas. Oxygen from
top of the beds then flows to the check valve assembly and then to the
product manifold (See Figure 4.4). The check valve assembly supplies
product oxygen to the flow controller. The product manifold controls the
flow of oxygen from one bed to another during various stages of the
oxygen generating process. The product oxygen then flows through the
product valve to the customer’s application. An oxygen analyzer
continuously monitors the purity of oxygen and provides an alarm in case
of low purity.
The entire oxygen generating process is completely regenerative, which
makes it both reliable and virtually maintenance-free. The molecular sieve
does not normally require replacement.
This instruction manual serves as the guidelines for CENTROX oxygen
concentrator. Refer to the illustrations, located in the Appendix A of this
instruction manual, for the detailed flow diagram and electrical schematic
of the oxygen concentrator referenced in this instruction manual.

AirSep® Corporation
Oxygen Sample Regulator
A regulator before the oxygen monitor board regulates the pressure to
4-5 psig to the oxygen monitor board. Refer to the section 7 for the
regulator adjustment.
Pressure Switch
When the oxygen concentrator operates in Auto mode, the pressure
switch monitors the oxygen pressure at the outlet of the oxygen
concentrator. When the pressure at the oxygen concentrator outlet
increases to the pressure switch upper setpoint, the pressure switch
circuit closes and the oxygen concentrator starts a timed shutdown
that stops the unit at the end of the shutdown sequence (After 10
additional cycles). When the pressure at the oxygen concentrator
outlet decreases to the lower setpoint of the switch, the pressure
switch opens to activate the oxygen concentrator and the oxygen
production begins. When the oxygen concentrator operates in Manual
mode, the pressure switch circuit remains open and the oxygen
concentrator cycles continuously. Refer to the appendix A of the
manual for lower and upper setpoint settings of the pressure switch.
