What is the function of Oxygen cylinder regulator?
it regulate the oxygen pressure
The major regulator of regional blood flow in the brain is?
oxygen
Can you use a air compressor to fill oxygen with its regulator?
NO ... this is dangerous, take your tank to a professional depot that does this , but remove the regulator first.
Why do you crack an oxygen tank?
You "crack" an oxygen tank by opening the cylinder's main valve briefly to blow out contaminants from the main valve before attaching the regulator. This is done because contaminants inside the valve or at the valve outlet (dust, dirt, organic material, bugs, fragments of plastic from valve seats, etc.) act to initiate regulator fires and explosions ignited by heat from adiabatic compression of oxygen into the regulator when the oxygen main valve is first opened. These fires ignite the brass regulator itself and are very dangerous. They are avoided by keeping oxygen equipment clean, by cracking a new oxygen cylinder prior to use, and by opening the main valve slowly when a regulator is attached.
Where could a hospital buy an oxygen regulator from in Las Vegas?
A hospital could buy an oxygen regulator from a store that carries medical supplies in Las Vegas. If there is no such establishment, one could go on Amazon.
Why do you let the extra oxygen bleed out of a tank?
When "bleeding" an oxygen tank, you are releasing excess pressure stored in the regulator, not the tank itself. If the excess pressure remains, it can damage the regulator, and the guage needle can get stuck, giving an inaccurate reading of how much oxygen remains in the tank.
Is carbon dioxide more important than oxygen as a chemical regulator respiration?

Why does krakauer feel better after harris turns the valve on the regulator?

What is the difference between an oxygen regulator and an acetylene regulator?
the threads on a acetylene bottle are anti clockwise so on oygen bottle its righty tighty on acetylene its lefty tighty
How is oxygen released from an oxygen tank?
The air is super compressed either in gas or liquid form in a pressurized tank. A regulator is attached and lets only a certain amount of psi through at a time. Without this regulator the bottle would take off like a rocket to the moon if it were to open somehow.
What are the differences between SNUBA and scuba diving?
With scuba diving, you are diving with an oxygen tank on your back and a regulator in your mouth. For SNUBA, there isn't an oxygen pack on your back, instead your oxygen supply is a long hose attached to a raft on the surface of the water.
What happens when oil is mixed with oxygen?
oil residue in an oxygen regulator connection may cause an explosion. Also when oxygen is mixed in a refrigeration system with a refrigerant like R410A which has oil in it, it can cause an explosion.
