Figure 4-2 below illustrates the internal components.
Capacitor
Compressor
Adsorbers (Sieve Beds)
The adsorbers, or sieve beds, contain the molecular sieve that adsorbs (attracts)
nitrogen from compressed air and allows oxygen to pass through as the product
gas.
Capacitor
The capacitor stores additional electrical power to enable the air compressor to
start.
Cooling Fan
The cooling fan increases airflow inside the enclosure to cool the air compressor.
Air Compressor
The air compressor pressurizes ambient air and delivers it to the adsorbers.
