PURPOSE:To make it possible to supply medical oxygen simply and stably, by electrolyzing water by a water electrolyzer, burning generated hydrogen by a combustor to use heat of combustion and utilizing evolved oxygen for medical purposes. CONSTITUTION:Water is fed to an electrolyzer 2 connected to an electric source 1, electrolyzed, generated hydrogen is sent to a hydrogen combustor 5, burnt to form water 6 and heat of combustion 7, the heat 7 of combustion is used as a heat source for a still 8 for distilled water and the prepared distilled water together with the water 6 is used as water for electrolysis. On the other hand, oxygen evolved by electrolysis of water is fed to an oxygen purifier 3, purified and used as medical oxygen. Consequently, a necessary amount of medical oxygen can be simply supplied without requiring a high-pressure oxygen bomb and an expensive device such as a device equipped with an oxygen concentrating membrane even in areas of inconvenient traffic such as a remote and secluded place in the mountains.
