Claim:
1. Oxygen separation device for a pressure swing adsorption system, comprising a gas inlet at a primary side of the oxygen separation device for guiding a flow of oxygen comprising gas into the oxygen separation device and a gas outlet at a secondary side for guiding a flow of oxygen enriched gas out of the oxygen separation device, an oxygen separation membrane comprising an oxygen separation sorbent being capable of separating oxygen from an oxygen comprising gas by sorbing at least one component of the oxygen comprising gas apart from oxygen, and a support structure at the primary side of the oxygen separation device, the support structure configured for supporting the oxygen separation membrane, wherein the support structure comprises a plurality of support bars being fixed to the oxygen separation membrane, wherein the plurality of support bars define a flow path for the oxygen comprising gas between the support bars; and the gas inlet is configured to guide flow of oxygen comprising gas to the oxygen separation membrane through the flow path.
