What can an oxygen refilling system offer me?
Refilling your own oxygen cylinders is a cost-effective alternative to supplier refills. Two main types of oxygen refilling systems are available: Gas-to-Gas (HP) and Liquid-to-Gas. Both methods save you money compared to purchasing cylinder refills from a supplier.
How do I determine the right refilling system for my needs?
It depends on the volume of cylinders you use weekly (monthly and yearly). Smaller volume users (under 100 cylinders per week) typically opt for gas-to-gas systems, while liquid-to-gas systems suit larger volume users.
Liquid-to-gas:
Higher initial investment
Faster fill speed/volume per hour
Fully expandable
Gas-to-gas:
Lower initial investment
Slower fill speed/volume per hour
Fully expandable
How many cylinders per hour can each system fill?
The OF-7000 liquid-to-gas system can fill at least 66 "E" cylinders per hour, while a typical gas-to-gas system can fill at least 25 "E" cylinders per hour.
How do I comply with all the regulations?
If you choose Applied Home Healthcare Equipment for equipment and training, we can guide you through the process, providing necessary paperwork. After proper training, staying compliant is straightforward.
Do I need to find a new building to accommodate a transfilling system?
Each situation varies, but you can often rearrange existing warehouse space. A liquid-to-gas system typically needs
