In one aspect, a product gas concentrator is provided. In one embodiment,
the apparatus may include: a first process separating adsorbable
components from a source gaseous mixture, a second process providing
concentrated product gas in a continuous output mode, a third process
providing concentrated product gas in a pulsed output mode, and a fourth
process selectively switching between the continuous and pulsed output
modes. In another embodiment, the apparatus may include: a first process
pressurizing a source gaseous mixture, a second process separating
adsorbable components from the pressurized gaseous mixture, a product
tank accumulating concentrated product gas for dispensing, an output
path, a third process selecting a volume to be dispensed during a
predetermined time, a pressure sensor monitoring pressure of the
concentrated product gas, and a fourth process controlling flow of the
concentrated product gas in response to the selected volume and the
monitored pressure.
