主权项

1. A method of producing oxygen enriched gas, comprising:
positioning at least a portion of a first oxygen concentrator apparatus in a support structure of a second oxygen concentrator apparatus, wherein the support structure has a size and shape complementary to the size and shape of the first oxygen concentrator apparatus, the first oxygen concentrator apparatus comprising:
at least two canisters;gas separation adsorbent disposed in at least two canisters, wherein the gas separation adsorbent separates at least some nitrogen from air in the canister to produce oxygen enriched gas;a compression system comprising at least one compressor coupled to at least one canister; anda first apparatus controller that controls operation of the first oxygen concentrator apparatus using operating parameters stored in the first apparatus controller; the second oxygen concentrator apparatus comprising:
at least two canisters;gas separation adsorbent disposed in at least two canisters, wherein the gas separation adsorbent separates at least some nitrogen from air in the canister to produce oxygen enriched gas;a compression system comprising at least one compressor coupled to at least one canister; anda second apparatus controller that controls operation of the second oxygen concentrator apparatus using operating parameters stored in the second apparatus controller; and wherein the first oxygen concentrator apparatus and the second oxygen concentrator apparatus are independently operable; electrically coupling the first oxygen concentrator apparatus to the second oxygen concentrator apparatus, wherein the electrical connection provides electrical power from the second oxygen concentrator apparatus to the first oxygen concentrator apparatus and wherein the electrical connection further allows information to be exchanged between the first apparatus controller and the second apparatus controller.
