What Types of Oxygen Cylinders Can Be Refilled?
In modern medical care and home care, refillable oxygen cylinder is very popular. But not all oxygen cylinders are suitable for refilling, and it is very important to correctly identify the refillable types. Let's take a look together!
Introduction of refillable oxygen cylinder:
Refillable oxygen cylinder is an oxygen supply equipment that can replenish oxygen multiple times and be reused. Unlike disposable oxygen cylinders, which must be discarded when they are empty, it is more suitable for scenarios with long-term oxygen supply needs. The refillable oxygen cylinder we produce is made of high-grade aluminum, it is light in weight, easy to take and carry, and it has good sealing, is not easy to leak after filling with oxygen, and can stably provide oxygen to meet daily or emergency oxygen supply needs.
Refillable oxygen cylinder 's shopping guide:
The choice of refillable oxygen cylinder depends on the material. Aluminum or high-quality alloy materials are preferred. These materials are light and durable, and they are not easy to deform when filled multiple times. It also depends on the safety design. Choose products with pressure gauges and leak-proof valves. The pressure gauges can see the remaining oxygen at any time. The leak-proof valve can avoid the waste of oxygen. Our oxygen cylinders include these two designs, which can be used with confidence. It also depends on whether there is a quality certification. We must choose products that meet national medical safety standards and have a clear certification mark. It is more assured to use.
What types of oxygen cylinders can be refilled?
1. Aluminum medical oxygen cylinders, which are the most common refillable type. Like the aluminum medical oxygen cylinders we produce, the bottle body is strong enough to withstand the pressure of multiple filling, and the aluminum material is not easy to rust. Whether it is for home care or hospital use, it can be filled multiple times and reused.
2. Alloy medical oxygen cylinders, which are made of aluminum with other metals added on the basis of aluminum, have higher strength than those made of pure aluminum, and are suitable for scenarios that require frequent filling and long-term use, and their safety is also guaranteed.
3. Household portable refillable oxygen cylinder, this kind of oxygen cylinder has a small capacity, and the bottle body is designed to be compact and easy to carry. After use, you can get a regular inflation point to fill it, and the operation is simple.
4. Industrial grade refillable oxygen cylinder, but it should be noted that this kind of oxygen cylinder is filled with industrial oxygen and cannot be used for medical oxygen supply. It can only be used for industrial production. When choosing oxygen cylinder for home use for medical use, you must choose carefully.
It should be noted that disposable oxygen cylinders cannot be refilled. The body of this type of oxygen cylinder is thin and not strong enough, and it is prone to explosion when filling, so be sure not to try to fill the disposable oxygen cylinder with oxygen.


Is the oxygen from the oxygen generator and the oxygen cylinder the same?
The oxygen from the oxygen generator and the oxygen cylinder is not the same, the difference is divided into the following aspects:
Oxygen cylinder for home use | Oxygen generator | |
Oxygen source | Internal storage of compressed medical oxygen, high oxygen purity, in line with medical oxygen supply standards | The separation of oxygen from the air through technology can meet the daily oxygen absorption needs, but the purity is slightly lower than that of medical compressed oxygen. |
Usage scenario | It can be used when the valve is opened. It is highly portable and suitable for carrying out, such as daily outings of the elderly, plateau travel and other scenarios. | It needs to be plugged in or powered by a battery, which has poor portability, is suitable for use in fixed scenes, and is not easy to carry out. |
Oxygen supply stability | The oxygen flow is stable, and the output is always consistent after opening, and it is not affected by the external environment. | The stability of oxygen supply is greatly affected by the environmental impact. In areas with thin air, the efficiency of oxygen production will decrease. |
Oxygen cylinder for home use market trends:
Now the market demand for oxygen cylinder for home use is increasing, mainly because of the increase in health awareness, the increase in demand for oxygen supply equipment in home care, and oxygen cylinder for home use is more environmentally friendly, reusable, and in line with the trend of green consumption.
Conclusion:
Oxygen cylinder for home use has aluminum medical, alloy material medical, household portable models and other types. When you choose, you should choose according to the use scenario and needs. Don't confuse it with disposable oxygen cylinders and industrial-grade oxygen cylinders. The quality of Snow Rain Technology's products is guaranteed, and many styles can be customized.
