What is the difference between an oxygen concentrator and an oxygen tank?Updated 7 months ago

The main difference between an oxygen concentrator and oxygen tank is that oxygen concentrators cannot run out of oxygen. Oxygen concentrators are machines that pull in the air around you and filter out the nitrogen. A thin tube runs from the device to your face through a nasal cannula, giving you purified oxygen through two open prongs below your nostrils. Oxygen tanks have a finite amount of oxygen within them, which is inhaled by the user until it runs out.
