Patent ID: 8876941

Claim:
A method for managing an oxygen generating system, the oxygen generating system configured for supplying a sustained flow of a gaseous mixture comprising mostly oxygen, the method comprising: receiving a first pressure signal associated with a first pressure; determining the first pressure to be less than or equal to a startup threshold pressure, said first pressure associated with a gaseous pressure of an oil-less tank; sending a signal to switch a first circuit on, said first circuit for providing electrical power to a bank of at least two oxygen generators; sending a signal to switch a second circuit on, said second circuit for providing electrical power to an oil-less air compressor; receiving a second pressure signal associated with a second pressure; determining the second pressure to be greater than or equal to a shutoff threshold pressure, said second pressure associated with a gaseous pressure of the oil-less tank; sending a signal to switch the first circuit off; and sending a signal to switch the second circuit off.
