Oxygen concentrators

[gratefulJHolle]

What is the largest gtt torch suitable for running off of oxygen concentrators? Even multiple generators? 3 or 4 say 8 or 10 lpm gens?

The GTT Sidewinder is made specifically for running off concentrators. It's about the size of a Phantom and 2 10LPM units would work fine, 3 would give it max power (according to GTT).

If you're stacking concentrators then there's not much of a limit.... you could run a viper or cobra off concentrators, or get them to make a bigger custom torch and run it on a building full of concentrators.

The practical limit before you're spending more time fixing broken concentrator and paying more for electricity than it's worth really depends on what you pay for oxygen now.

I do generally recommend that people using bigger torches seriously think about not using the small medical concentrators. They don't deliver the pressure you need on bigger torches, and the home fill compressors you can get cheap don't have very impressive lifespans when used to fill 220-250cuft high pressure tanks. If you're on the torch as a hobbyist for a few hours a week that's one thing, if you're working 30+ hours a week on a big torch those systems usually end up being more hassle than they're worth.

I know I've read it somewhere but can't find the post (plus it's late and I've got to hit the sack pretty quick ;?) but if I have one 5L generator, what is the best torch for this limited supply? Thanks in advance for any advice guys ;?D
