Invacare Oxygen Concentrators and Homefills

[neddowerx]

I need some help. First off I need the power chord and curling hose to connect top and bottom for one unit, I also have another homefill that has attachments that I use with a platinum 5 . I also have a platinum 10, and another invicare perfecto 5. I only have a wip for one setup aswel, with what I have in equipment what's the best setup I can make happen? As of now I run my centerfire off of my 10 and my mid and outerfires off of k tank filled by my one complete homefill setup. To fill my tank(s) ( I have 3 k's) , well just one takes a very long time(12 hours for 500-600psi) and usually only empty to 500 psi before re filling. I also only fill to 15-1800 psi as I heard that is less stressful on the homefills, both are homefill ll. Thanks for any and all info, so glad I stumbled upon this thread!

I run a kobuki, and would love to make the most of the third stage

I was also told to regulate the front meter at 1-.5 while filling tanks for better fill times, is this true? Sometimes it seems to work better at 1.5-2psi on front meter but havnt timed that.

The unit will not fill a tank if the LPM is greater than 3.0. Since you are only using the fill port, not the port in front, turn your unit down to .5 or 1.0 lpm. That way you have more oxygen going to the filling system.

you cannot make it zero, they put a low flow alarm in that will go off if you do.

best of luck

What about my other question about how to optimize my equipment, and can I buy attachments for my backup homefill? Also interested in how to hook 3 oxycons to 2 homefill? Thanks again for any help.

Sorry, didnt see all that.
The power cord you can grab anywhere.
The curled hose i could get for you.
Sounds like you have the makings of a great system.

Do you use the 10 for glass blowing by itself? or does it fill tanks?

Best solution is to daisy chain one extra concentrator per homefill.
So, 2 concentrators, 1 homefill.
3 concentrator, 2 homefills.

:P

I never tried 4 and 3 but i'm sure it would work great.

I am not sure if the pictures are still up for my 3 into 2 set up, but that is how i would rig it.

Make sure you are NOT trying to run all of this off of one circuit in your house.
When you put too many concentrators (drawing about 5 amps) on a circuit, performance is degraded and the machines may even error.

If you run this set up, separate 20 amp cirucuits would be best, 15 amp is fine.
If you have to run and extension cord absolutely go with a 12 gauge cord.

The only advantage you have running the 10 in this equation is the additional output you can gain from the front oxygen nipple.

For high flo patients requiring over 3 LPM and still ambulatory, we'll put out a 10 LPM machine.

Hope that helps.

How much for a home-fill system with oxygen concentrator, compressor and whip shipped to New York?
I only need to fill one K tank. I need about 700-1000 lbs of pressure a day from the tank. What do you recommend?
