People on oxygen therapy have seen their own vistas open wide in the last few years with the advent of portable oxygen concentrators. They have been freed from having to lug around heavy, potentially dangerous cannisters of compressed oxygen, and of being stuck at home having to wait for the oxygen delivery truck. Independence is truly delicious after being long deprived of it , and many oxygen therapy patients have taken up their lives again with gusto.
Oxygen concentrators draw in the air all around and then delivers it at higher concentrations, up to five liters a minute. Some weigh as little as seven pounds, and they are carried in a bag with a shoulder strap, much more discreetly that oxygen cylinders.
They are very quiet; some models only make a small clicking sound upon inhalation. Those on oxygen therapy can comfortably attend quiet events, such as church services or plays, without the annoying hissing sound and banging around heavy equipment.
Oxygen concentrators run on up to eight hours of battery power before needing recharging. They can also be plugged into an ordinary household wall socket, or off a DC adapter in a car. They can deliver either a continuous flow of oxygen, or a pulse or demand flow upon inhalation. There are also new stationery units for the home which are also much lighter and safer than the old ways.
It certainly can be difficult to relax and enjoy oneself with the risk of combustion from a leaking or ruptured oxygen tank; driving next to an oxygen delivery truck on a busy street is usually all the risk to which many people are exposed, but most worry all the same. This danger is completely removed, to most everyone’s relief.
Today’s oxygen therapy companies have websites that show their oxygen concentrator models, and address pertinent issues. Many will lease units, letting the oxygen therapy patient try out this new technology and find the model best suited to them. Many sites have a respiratory therapist on hand to answer any questions or concerns. Totally refurbished models are on sale at low prices.
Find the model that’s just right and taste freedom again.

The Benefits of a Portable Oxygen Concentrator?
Thousands of people every day need a higher dose of oxygen in order to breath properly. In some cases, this is a permanent problem. It wasn’t very long ago that the only way that this oxygen could be provided was through a tank or a cylinder. Thankfully, there is a new option that came into existence about ten years ago. It is known as a portable oxygen concentrator. These portable devices are different from tanks and cylinders. Rather than storing oxygen, they extract it from the air. This ingenious device sets patients free from their tethers, giving them the freedom to walk around without being worried about running out of oxygen.The most obvious benefit of a portable oxygen concentrator is the fact that it never runs out of oxygen. It’s not a complete free for all, of course, because it does require electricity in order to work. They are usually made with a rechargeable battery. The good news is that as long as their is a nearby power source, a patient does not have to be concerned about running out of oxygen. This creates the additional benefit of not needing to be refilled.There are several different kinds of portable oxygen containers that can be used for various different purposes. They are much smaller than any other option, and give people a great deal of flexibility. Fourteen models have been authorized for use in airplanes, meaning that a patient now has the freedom to fly from location to location, not being tied down to one place.Portable oxygen concentrators are safer than cylinders or tanks of oxygen, since they can not leak. Oxygen is not directly flammable, but it can cause fires to become much more intense. Concentrators do not come with this risk because they do not carry around large quantities of oxygen.Another benefit of concentrators is that they can actually be used to fill the traditional oxygen containers as well. This way an oxygen container does not need to be sent away to be refilled, it can instead be refilled right in the home. Portable oxygen concentrators give patients the freedom that they may never have thought they would find again.
Can you have an oxygen concentrator in a room with a gas heater?
Please read and follow the instructions with your concentrator. Most will tell you to keep all parts of an oxygen concentrator- including tubing- at least 10 ft away from any heat source, including gas heaters. Oxygen does not burn- but it can make things that DO burn, burn VERY quickly. See the link below for safety precautions from one maker of oxygen concentrators- If you have more questions, please contact me through my message board, and I will try to get you a good answer. Thank you to the both of you. I have had the "service" guy tell me its fine but the instrutions say otherwise. I'm sooo conflicted. Thanks again for the input from you two. I never thought I would get a response so quick. HUGS to you two.

What are the best and cheapest options for home backup power?
In a hurricane zone, I believe your best bet would either be a portable gas generator or a permanent propane generator. A portable gas generator has more risks, but again, is portable so you would be able to move it different places.
