Focus on Oxygen Concentrator : O2C
➤ India is battling with the worst 2nd wave of Covid-19 Pandemic.
➤ Several big hospitals across India are relying on daily oxygen supplies but they are not getting enough to
keep some as backup in case of emergency.
➤ The situation is worse still in small hospitals that don't have storage tanks and have to rely on big cylinders
leading to Oxygen crises.
➤ The need of an hour is to develop portable oxygen concentrators to save lives
.
➤ Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE) has prototyped an Indigenous portable O2 Concentrator using
opensource Oxikit design with 100% Indian components.
➤ TCE is open to assist MSME’s who have regulatory approvals from authorities for mass
manufacturing.
Targeted Outcome = 1,00,000 | O2C = 20,00,000 | LPM = 4000 MT/DAY
Manufacture up to 1,00,000 Oxygen Concentrators in 100 DAYS
While our Efforts were triggered due to INDIAN Crisis – We believe these efforts will help countries and communities worldwideThe Opensource movement is to enable global communities to get access to basic element – OXYGEN – and that’s a step towards aligning with the UN Sustainable development goals |
Portable Oxygen Concentrator Using Oxikit Open Source For Make in India
Oxygen Concentrators: How It Works?
1. An oxygen concentrator is a self-contained, electrically powered
device designed to concentrate oxygen from ambient air.
2. Utilising a process known as Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA), an
oxygen concentrator produces up to 95.5% concentrated oxygen.
3. Atmospheric air is drawn through a gross particle and intake filter
before moving through a compressor.
4. The pressurised air passes through a heat exchanger to reduce the
temperature before entering sieve beds that contain zeolite, a
mineral material that preferentially adsorbs nitrogen gas (N2) at high
pressures.
5. As each sieve bed is depressurized, N2 is released. Valves open to
deliver concentrated oxygen into a reservoir where it accumulates,
and from which a flowmeter can be used for measured and
continuous release of oxygen to the patient at a specified flow rate
OxiKit - DIY Oxygen Concentrator
1. An open-source Oxygen
concentrator anyone can build.
2. Offers 24 LITERS PER MINUTE
(LPM) OF O2 WITH 92%
CONCENTRATION.
3. Easy to build design.
4. Assembly procedure / videos
available for ease of assembly.
5.Assembly procedure / videos
available for ease of assembly
6. OUTPUT - 20 LPM+ AT 90%+
CONCENTRATION
5 -10 LPM Concentrators are available in the market. Concentrators with higher output flow (more than 15 LPM) will help to reduce pressure on existing Oxygen supplies
