CAIRE Service School Trainings and Webinars
CAIRE offers In-person and Virtual Service Schools covering both LOX and Concentrator lines.
Each class is a comprehensive program that focuses on the technical and service aspects of the CAIRE

the student develop a better understanding of how liquid oxygen equipment or concentrators work,
how to identify the symptoms and causes of potential problems and how to use the technicalinformation that is available in the Technical Manuals. Registration for CAIRE’s Service Schools ismandatory. Registration forms must be received two weeks prior to the start of the class in order toguarantee availability and materials.

Top and Side Fill Female QDV Lip Seal
Previously, models of the QDV Lip Seal contained either a silicone O-ring(P/N CA110104), while others
were manufactured with a steel rosette spring (P/N B-775260-00). Existing Stock of QDVs equipped with
CA110104 will be diminished and going forward, B-775260-00 will be used on all Top and Side FillFemale QDVs. The CA110104 and B-775260-00 Lip Seals are both forwards and backwards compatible.
All female Side Fill QDVs built prior to 11 July 2016 should continue to use part CA110104. Any built
after 11 July 2016 should use part B-775206-00. This is due to the side fill QDV requiring a small chamfer
to enable the B-775260-00 to fit correctly; all Side Fill Female QDVs manufactured after 11 July 2016
have this chamfer.
