Abstract
A gas fractioning apparatus includes a housing (A) in which various gas separation components and modules are located. A gas distribution module (B) which includes components for handling and distributing incoming gas to be separated is mechanically mountable within the housing. A control module (C) which includes the appropriate control components for controlling the gas separation is similarly mountable within the housing. An oxygen outlet assembly (D) which includes the fluid handling components for handling the separated oxygen is mounted with the control module in the housing. A bed module (E) which physically separates oxygen from other air components is mechanically mountable within the housing. A mechanical mounting assembly (F) removably mounts the modules within the housing. An electrical connection assembly (G) provides electrical connection between the electrical components of at least the control and distribution modules. A fluid connection assembly (H) provides fluid connection between fluid handling components of at least the distribution, bed, and oxygen outlet modules.
