as I understand it, concentrators only provide a max 5 lpm flow - way low for CH AND
somebody had reported ganging up 2 concentrators-
that would provide enough flow rate
BUT
I'm NOT sure if concentrators provide PURE 02 -
if they don't, that would reduce the delivered 02 even more,
and you'd have to compute from there
COMPARATIVE INFO:
just got my bill for the last month's oxygen therapy stuff
rental of equipment was $55/month
oxygen was $15 tank (the largest portable size)
I used 8 tanks in a month,
averaging about 5 times a day
worked EVERY time - use at first twinge
stops attack in 5 -15 minutes
never reaches severe pain in that time
