speed up filling times

[rose2015]

Hi, I'd really like to fill atleast 180 cubic feet every 24 hours. Is it possible to attach two invacare concentrators to one homefill to speed up filling times? Also,anyone know how to get a whip to fill larger tanks with a cga 540 fitting? I'd really appreciate it if anyone could share their experience or knowledge!

Salt city glass has whips.
Two oxycons will not help fill times. The invacare homefill fills at 2lpm. Unless you boost the inlet pressure, an increase in inlet pressure will up fill times slightly.

Two home fills (comoressors ) I believe will run on one invacare concentrator... so that would be the easiest path to faster filll times ... but by the time you pay for another comoressor.. u might be a head to just home build a low presure stestem ..

If thats more than u can afford or your really attached to the idea of filling highpressure tanks. Then two co.pressors is likely the cheepest route .. theres a guy selling them for a good price right now in the classifieds section...

Two Homefills and two concentrators would be your best bet. The higher the output on the oxycon, the lower the purity, so I don't know if I'd want to run two Homefills off one concentrator (if it's a typical 5lpm one).
Is your problem that it fills too slowly or that you don't have enough capacity? If you don't torch every day, you can fill multiple tanks during downtime so that you won't run out when you need it. Two tanks doubles your capacity (but takes twice as long to fill, naturally). So even though I can go through two tanks on a weekend, I am usually not burning during the week, so the Homefill has plenty of time to fill and I don't run out on the weekend. If you don't already, you can also run your Homefill while you are torching. That won't make up the volume, but it's a start.
