There are mainly two types of zeolite used in oxygen concentrator on the market: sodium type and lithium type.
13X HP And Lithium molecular sieve
Compared with sodium-type zeolite molecular sieve, lithium-type zeolite molecular sieve has higher oxygen production efficiency, which can greatly reduce the volume of the oxygen generator, making the oxygen generator smaller and easier to carry around. However, lithium molecular sieves are more expensive than sodium molecular sieves, so sodium molecular sieves are also a popular choice in the market for most cases.
Xintao’s sodium molecular sieve is type13x-hp, and lithium molecular sieve is type li-x.
Molecular Sieve Application Recommendation
13X HP molecular sieve is recommended for portable oxygen concentrators of 1-5/L min, and lithium molecular sieve is recommended for portable oxygen concentrators that require a smaller size.
The experimental results of Xintao show that the N2/O2 selectivity of lithium molecular sieve is about 2 times higher than sodium molecular sieve, and the static nitrogen adsorption capacity is 2.75 times than 13X HP molecular sieve.
